ELECTROCARDIOGRAM CHANGES IN PROLONGED AUTOMOBILE DRIVING

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1966
Numerous observations suggest that the cardiovascular system is affected by the complex physiological stress of driving an automobile. In view of the general importance both in regard to automobile accidents and health protection of the driver, the number of observations is still small, and more information is needed.

Mathematical biology of automobile driving

The Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics, 1967
Continuing a previous study (Bull. Math. Biophysics, 28, 645–654, 1966), the biophysical mechanism of a corrective turn is investigated for the case where the stimulus for the corrective turn is produced not only by the perception of the nearness of an edge of the lane, but also by the rate of approach of the car towards the edge.

Automobile driving as psychophysical discrimination

The Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics, 1962
The driver tries to keep the car in the center of the lane. If the car is too near the left edge, this causes the driver to make a “corrective” right turn. If the car is near the right edge, a “corrective” left turn is made. Therefore, a quantity which decreases with increasing distance ΔL from the left edge may be considered as a stimulusSR producing ...

[Monophthalmia and automobile driving].

Oftalmologia (Bucharest, Romania : 1990), 1993
The estimation of the visual abilities of monophtalmic patients must be done individually and the driving licence must be released only after careful consideration of all the anatomo-functional aspects of the eye in connection with the functional state of the nervous system. For releasing the driving licence to monophthalmic patients are proposed to be
