The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is exploring the feasibility of developing brake tests to measure brake system performance of light vehicles. Developing test procedures requires controlling test variability so that measured differences between vehicles are more than just experimental noise. Possible sources of uncontrolled variability include environmental conditions, vehicle-to-vehicle differences for a given model, brake system changes with time, test driver differences, test surface friction changes with time, and test surface friction difference between test sites. The objective of this project was to determine the level of variability in stopping distance tests of light vehicles that is due to differences between drivers. 648 stopping distance tests were conducted with three expert drivers in three different cars on wet and dry asphalt with the ABS working and disabled.
