Samenvatting
An experiment was conducted to test the effect of alcohol on actual driving behaviour. An instrumented vehicle was used to record driver performance on 8 laps of a 6 km course at night. Target detection, lane tracking, curve taking and speed regulation were used as measures of performance. Each of the 24 male subjects were tested at BACs of zero, .05g/100mL and .10g/100mL. To examine the possible effects of habituation to alcohol, 12 of the subjects were light drinkers and 12 were heavy drinkers.
