abstract="In a previous paper (Rashevsky, 1959,Bull. Math. Biophysics,21, 299-308) we derived an approximate expression for the maximal speed of driving in terms of the reaction time of the driver. In the present paper the possible effects of unevennesses of the pavement, of such distracting stimuli as road signs etc. on the reaction time are studied theoretically, using previous developments of the mathematical biophysics of the central nervous system. In this manner expressions are derived which determine the maximal safe speed in terms of road conditions and other distracting stimuli. Effects of those conditions on fatigue are also discussed.
