Abstract

Results are presented of a preliminary study of the response in braking of adaptive hand controls such as those used by some physically handicapped drivers. The response time of a pistol-grip controller with trigger-activated brakes was also tested. These results show significantly shorter response time for the hand-operated units than for the normal foot controls.
