Abstract

The effects of moderate levels of blood alcohol on ability to steer a constantly turning course in a fixed-base shadowgraph driving simulator are investigated. An analysis of tracking error responses showed a statistically significant impairment of the performance of subjects less than 35 years old at a blood alcohol level of 50 mg%. Subjects over the age of 35 had difficulty operating the equipment.
