| Summary: | "Forty volunteer subjects drove a specially instrumented car over an interstate highway course and over a heavily traveled urban course. Ten subjects were men over 30 years of age, ten were women over 30, ten were men under 30, and ten were women under 30. Several differences were found between vehicle control patterns of the men and women. Several smaller differences appeared between age groups. Finally, a comparison of interstate data wirh that of a previous study (Soliday and Allen, 1972) revealed consistency between groups, apart from a significant difference with respect to lane changes. As expected, the type of roadway course had a profound effect on the control patterns of all subjects."--Abstract. |
