The initiation and control of action in motor vehicle driving

每次我们在红绿灯前停车或超车时，我们的大脑都在做出一系列关键的决定，决定何时以及如何准确安全地进行操作。该项目旨在更好地了解所涉及的过程。使用最新的高保真全球定位系统和加速度计技术，将在真实的车辆中对驾驶员行为和车辆动态进行高度精确的测量。了解我们何时以及如何执行这些类型的基本任务将在未来的制动、悬架和转向系统设计中发挥核心作用;将有助于指导道路和路标设计的规范;并将有助于激励对当前驾驶员培训计划的添加或更改。

Every time we pull up to a traffic light or overtake another vehicle our brain is making a whole series of critical decisions about when and how to carry out the manoeuvre accurately and safely. This project seeks to better understand the processes involved. Using the latest, high fidelity GPS and accelerometer technology, highly accurate measurements of driver behaviour and vehicle dynamics will be made in a real vehicle. Understanding when and how we carry out these types of basic tasks will play a central role in future brake, suspension and steering system design; will help guide the specifications of road and road sign design; and will help motivate additions or alterations to current driver training programmes.
