TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Driver awareness of wet weather skidding accident potential JO - Transportation research record A1 - Hanscom, Fred R. SP - 141 p EP - 141 p VL - 624 IS - N2 - This field study investigated the driver's general awarness and response to warning signs in a potentially hazardous situation of wet pavement subjected to high lateral friction demand. Detailed vehicle performance data were collected, and speeds were used as the primary indication of hazard awareness and sign response. Driver interviewing was used to establish the motorist's cognizance of the hazard and his observation of the warning sign. Selected driver characteristics were obtained during the interivew and were compared to hazard responses.
