Abstract

Three experiments of brake pedal location accuracy were conducted. The first experiment tested the accuracy of recall of drivers for the brake pedal location of the vehicle with which they are very familiar. The second experiment examined the accuracy of result for a brake pedal location with which they had recent practice. The results of the experiments indicate that subject drivers have difficulty in reproducing the location of brake pedals.
