A Driving Fitness Form was developed to ensure that drivers are ready to participate in field driving experiments at night. The form was tested in a field experiment conducted in Delta, Pennsylvania, during August 2004. The field experiment was part of a cooperative research program conducted by the Federal Highway Administration and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Sixteen research participants drove a curvy stretch of ruraltwo-lane highway each night for 8 nights with different pavement markingsand markers on the roadway. Partly due to the Driving Fitness Form, the experiment was completed successfully by all participants without any incidents or crashes. The Driving Fitness Form performed well, and summary datawere collected on the sample of 16 drivers.
