“…At112 km/h (70 mph), the driver of the coach would have about 3 seconds to crash and may be expected to brake for about one second, if one allows only 2 seconds for the driver to respond and get his foot on the brake (Broen et al, 1996;Mazzae et al, 2003;Ayers et al, 2005). The crash would be unavoidable.…”

“…Using some previously obtained measurements of the reflectance of the underside of a trailer of 0.15 to 0.20, computer simulations (Farber & Matle, 1989) showed that the underside of the trailer would be detectable at 90 m to 106 m (294' to 347') with low beams. At112 km/h (70 mph), the driver of the coach would have about 3 seconds to crash and may be expected to brake for about one second, if one allows only 2 seconds for the driver to respond and get his foot on the brake (Broen et al, 1996;Mazzae et al, 2003;Ayers et al, 2005).

Modern vehicles are equipped with various recording devices that can aid in accident reconstruction and human factors analyses. One example is the fitting of video recorders in buses and trucks. In one such case a bus ran into the underside of an overturned semi trailer that was blocking both lanes of an interstate highway in darkness. While a first review of the case suggested that the bus driver would not have been able to avoid the collision, that opinion was reversed when the video recording became available of the view ahead of the bus in the 6 seconds before the crash.

“…When a hazard requiring an avoidance maneuver first becomes evident to a driver, there may be little time available before the response must be selected and initiated in order to avoid a serious impact. If impact is unavoidable, or can be avoided only with a quick and aggressive maneuver, this is considered an immediate hazard (Ayres et al, 2005).…”

When faced with a potential hazard, drivers often need to evaluate the situation and choose an avoidance maneuver quickly. Studies of emergency perception-response time by drivers have reported a range of mean values, and a number of factors have been identified or proposed to account for some of the variability between and within studies. One factor that has not attracted much attention in this literature is response accuracy. We propose that examination of this literature from within a speed/accuracy tradeoff framework may help explain some of the range of findings in driver reaction time research. This perspective may be useful when applying research results to practical questions such as motor vehicle accident reconstruction.
