“…The safety-benefit of 'improved' open-loop performance in limit manoeuvres is called into question by experiments involving over 100 'men off the street' [51]. Although initially driven in the same way as a standard vehicle, a modified vehicle with improved open-loop manoeuvering performance was subsequently driven more 'aggressively', with higher failure rates on the test course.…”

The advantages of being able to objectively specify desirable vehicle handling characteristics, which can be determined without recourse to closed-loop tests on a prototype vehicle, are widely recognised. This paper reviews thestudies :hat have attempted to find a relationship between closed-loop task performance, and driver subjective opinion, and various steady-state and transient characteristics revealed in open-loop tests of the vehicle. I t is found that the level of definition of these relationships is not sufficient to justify mandatory regulations for vehicle design. However, the basic requirements for steering control sensitivity, and the rapidity and stability of the fixed-control dynamic response of vehicles in normal manoeuvres, are beginning to emerge. Data are particularly lacking for the closed-loop effects of vehicle sideslipping characteristics. free-control responses and vehicle behaviour in limit manoeuvres.

Driver Steering Reaction Time to Abrupt-Onset Crosswinds, as Measured In a Moving-Base Driving Simulator

A moving-base driving simulator was used in three experiments involving driver reaction time (RT) to simulated crosswind disturbances. Analyses were conducted on driver steering reaction time (RT) to the disturbances. Experiment 1 revealed that RT was significantly shorter when physical-motion cues were present. A second variable, vehicle yaw rate rise time, showed no effect. In Experiment 2, design parameters influencing aerodynamic behavior of a vehicle were adjusted. RT increased as the vehicle center of pressure (point of crosslvind application) moved rearward (rom the (ront axle. However, rearward movement of the center of pressure also produced less disturbance of the vehicle itself Changes in understeer and steering sensitivity yielded no significant effect. In Experiment 3, both uninitiated drivers and drivers with time on task were examined. Neither the first exposure to a step gust nor driving time up to 150 mirl caused significant changes in RT when perfurmance was compared with that of practiced, fresh drivers. Interexperiment comparisons using crosswind amplitude and shape as independent variables demonstrated that the amplitude and rise time of the crosswinds were critical determinants of steering RT.
