Two human engineering investigations on driving in a high speed tracked vehicle are described. One concerns steering characteristics and the other driver aiding by means of a closed-loop television system. The experiments were conducted using a vehicle simulator for road driving which includes a synthetically generated visual simulation. The steering characteristic investigation showed that the step-like changes in steering sensitivity brought about by gear shifting operations within the transmission may lead to dangerous situations in the curve following. These situations can be avoided by using steering characteristics of which the sensitivity is inversely proportional to the vehicle speed. Investigations with the driver television system showed that specially reduced viewing angles associated with an insufficiently large image field, had a detrimental effect on driving behavior. By using an additional collimating optical system to achieve image field magnification. These effects can be significantly overcome. (Author)
