Abstract

Twelve drivers detected changes in vehicle steering sensitivity in free maneuvering of limited duration. Changes were produced by diverse means, and driver's discrimination of changes were determined as just noticeable differences in yaw rate sensitivity. These measures were not significantly different for changes being made in steering ratio, stability factor, and vehicle speed. Results support the hypothesis that drivers detect changes in yaw rate sensitivity when attempting to discriminate changes in steering sensitivity.
