A prototype driver performance measurement and analysis system (DPMAS) is currently being developed for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The report develops and summarizes the measurement and hardware requirements which specify the design and projected use of the system. The requirements evolve from consideration of several basic experimental areas, driver/vehicle/environment interaction studies, driver training and licensing, and research into abnormal driver behavior as induced by alcohol, drugs, fatigue, or unusual stress. Together, these serve to define most of the DPMAS needs. Sensors, signal conditioners, and data acquisition and recording techniques and equipment to translate these requirements into reality are described.
