Abstract

Since the real reaction time of a driver involved in an accident will always be unknown to reconstruction experts, and because the driver's reaction time databases published in the respective literature have become almost obscure and hard to compare with the everyday practice of accident reconstruction, an expert decision was made at Transport Safety Laboratory to engage in research of the driver's reaction time and in reaction time measurement techniques as well and to develop a PC-based simulator for measurements of driver reaction time. The structure of the Driver Reaction Timer simulator and its components are described as well as its measuring algorithm. Measurements of the driver's reaction time in the real and simulated driving environment were performed, and the results obtained are discussed. By comparing these results, the quality evaluation of the current stage of development of the simulator is addressed and the necessary further development of the simulator defined.
