Abstract

This paper describes a simulation experiment in which driver behavior and driver/vehicle system performance were measured over a range of visibility and configuration parameter variations. Driver dynamic response and noise (remnant) were reliably affected by variations in visibility and configuration. These effects were also reflected in system performance measures such as lane deviations. The results suggest minimum perceptual (visibility) requirements for the driver to maintain adequate steering control of a car under reduced visibility conditions.
