Automobile Color as a Predictor of Driving Behavior
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982Research on achievement motivation has shown that highly motivated people prefer cool or somber colors like blue and tend to be in a hurry, while less motivated people tend to choose warm or bright colors like red and are less time conscious. We applied these findings to automobile driving, hypothesizing that drivers of cars with high nACH colors ...

EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE ON ALERTNESS IN SIMULATED AUTOMOBILE DRIVING
, 1974Thirty minutes after ingesting 200 milligrams of caffeine or a placebo, each of 24 male subjects drove an automobile simulator for 90 minutes. Immediately thereafter, the subject ingested a supplemental dose of the medication taken initially and then ...

Decentralized electric drives in the automobile
ATZ worldwide, 2006Decentralized control units and electric motors for brake assistant, engine management, climate control system, or chassis stabilization are already being used to control a variety of functions in the vehicle. However, virtually all of these functions still obtain drive energy from auxiliary units that are mechanically coupled to the internal ...

Experimental drive characteristics of HEFSM for automobile traction drives
2015 17th European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications (EPE'15 ECCE-Europe), 2015This paper presents design studies on a hybrid excitation flux switching motor that can compete with an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor installed on TOYOTA PRIUS-2010. A stator body of the hybrid excitation flux switching motor consists of not only laminated core and three-phase armature windings, but also field excitation coils and ...

Mathematical biology of learning to drive an automobile
The Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics, 1963In learning to drive, an individual must learn to rapidly make small corrective turns to the right or to the left as the car comes too close correspondingly to the left or to the right edges of the lane. The magnitude of the corrective turn depends on the angle at which the edge is approached. Thus, the individual must learn to produce a quantitatively

Suicide by Gunshot While Driving an Automobile
The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1989Suicide by a motor vehicle occurs more commonly than is realized, and may be difficult to prove. Suicide by other means while driving a vehicle is far less common. An automobile driven by a young woman left a road at high speed, became airborne, and came to rest on its top in a front yard. This was initially assumed to be a fatal traffic accident. Upon

Driving Out of Poverty in Private Automobiles
Journal of Poverty, 2003SUMMARY Transportation is a critical problem for Welfare-to-Work households; thus, the West Central Wisconsin Community Action Agency, Inc. developed resources to launch a facilitated-automobile purchase program named JumpStart. The program data and client survey results presented in this paper show that ownership of a private automobile is a key ...

Control Theory, Delays and Driving an Automobile
International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education, 2005A simple model of the driver—automobile system is developed and several reasonable candidates for the transfer function of the human ‘controller’ are studied. The model is used to examine the controller candidates. The complete system is analysed both analytically and through simulations. It is found that a delay followed by a phase-lead controller is
