Overdrive / by Patel, Esha,author.;
"Shantal knows one thing in life: that success means everything. So when she gets the call to move from London to Brazil, to test out her racing simulator on high performance Formula One racing drivers, she leaves her life behind, and goes. Because she'll do anything to succeed... Darien knows one thing in life: passion is everything. It's his passion for driving that has led him to the heights of motorsport, a coveted seat as a Formula One driver.

When Shantal and Darien meet, sparks aren't just flying from the gearbox. Darien knows from the moment he meets Shantal that she sends his heart into overdrive, and Shantal can't keep her eyes off of the gorgeous driver. But in the high stakes world of Formula One, there's no room for error, and there's definitely no room for romance on the racetrack..."

The goals were to develop (1) human factors guidelines, (2) methods for testing safety and ease of use, and (3) a model that predicts human performance with these systems. After reviewing the human factors literature, focus groups were conducted to assess driver attitudes towards new information systems. Next, the extent to which these systems might reduce traffic accidents, improve traffic operations, and satisfy driver needs and wants was examined. Based on that effort and contract requirements, five functions were selected for further evaluation - route guidance, traffic information, road hazard warning, cellular phone, and vehicle monitoring.Performed by the University of Michigan, Transportation Research Institute for the Office of Safety and Traffic Operations R & D, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.
