| Summary: | and differences between genders and age groups significantly ANOVAs showed that the nature of the stimulus was not a comparing with data from other parts of the study. Poor r2 conditions, the mean foot MT was 0.25 seconds, and, for the controlling the vehicle at 88 km/hr (55 mph) as opposed to different movement amplitudes. It was found that drivers' diminished while the car was in motion. effects. For the actual braking maneuver, gender and the foot MTs tended to converge to a common value when for both genders over all conditions were 0.28 seconds for gender-by-age interaction were significant; in the stationary high intra-subject variation in MT, which was corroborated by intra-subject variation and to obtaining data from only two maneuver and in a stationary vehicle was investigated modification of Fitts' Law were attributed to this high nature of the stimulus to which the driver was responding. pedals and age-gender levels were found to have significant regarding the effects of age and gender of the driver and significant factor in length of MT, but distance between sitting in the driver's seat while the vehicle was stationary; mean foot MT for each subject group decreased, The nature of foot movement time (MT) in an actual braking values for fitting the data to Fitts' Law and to a vehicle portion of the study, they were not. Mean foot MT women and 0.22 seconds for men. For older drivers, over all younger drivers, 0.24 seconds. Linear regressions revealed |
