Abstract

Previous research into the perception of forward speed by automobile drivers was based on direct estimation or ratio production scaling techniques.In this report the cross-modality matching procedure is used in an experiment in which several variables, which according to the literature have a influence on subjective speed impression, were factorially combined.Results show that ambient light condition, speed adaptation, and road characteristics did have less influence than could be expected on the basis of pervious findings.
