Overtaking and Passing under Adverse Visibility Conditions. Volume II. Driver Judgment and Decision-Making in Accelerative Passing Situations on Two-Lane Rural Highways
The research reported in this study represents one part of an overall program to develop a system or systems to help drivers solve discrimination and judgment problems on rural highways that lead to hazardous overtaking and passing situations and reductions in level of service. The study sought to define the requirements of overtaking and passing maneuvers on two-lane rural roads in terms of both driver judgment and control processes under adverse visibility conditions. Volume II reports on the experimental program devoted to driver judgment and decision-making in accelerative passes under adverse visibility conditions on two-lane highways. The general experimental approach is discussed and the objectives, procedures, and results of five experiments are presented in detail. (Author)
