The Americans beautiful machines : the most iconic U.S. cars and their era. by Rong, Blake Z.,author.; Klanten, Robert,editor.(CARDINAL)291456;
Includes index.The automobile has been the backbone of American society over the last 100 years. The likes of Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors defined a new era for the USA, from transcontinental travel and suburban transportation to the great American road trip. But these cars were never just practical machines; they were part of the great American experiment and their citizens' pursuit of happiness. They represented a way of life, an expression of personality, and a means of making a living. Each era of American car culture spawned models that were perfect statements of their time. The Art-Deco-inspired airstream designs of the 1920s and '30s preceded the postwar optimism of road cruisers, while muscle cars of the 1960s characterized U.S. power on the world stage. The Americans--Beautiful Machines celebrates the likes of the Mustang, Gran Torino, Corvette, and many other classic models that put American cars firmly into the zeitgeist. From Model T all the way to the electric age of Tesla, automobiles have remained icons of American culture.--Back Cover.

The driver's response to an automated highway system with reduced capacity / by Bloomfield, J. R.; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; University of Iowa.Center for Computer-aided Design.(CARDINAL)313232;
Includes bibliographical references (page 99).Revised working paper;This report presents the results of one in a series of experiments that investigated driver performance in a generic Automated Highway System (AHS) configuration. The experiment examined how well drivers could take over a function(s)--steering alone, speed control alone or both--from the AHS when it was no longer able to perform that function(s). Results are reported.Performed by the University of Iowa, Center for Computer-Aided Design, under contract no.

Comparison of older and younger driver responses to emergency driving events / by Kloeppel, E.; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839;
Includes bibliographical references (page 16).Ch. 1. Introduction -- Ch. 2. Objective -- Ch. 3. Method -- Ch. 4. Apparatus -- Ch. 5. Procedure -- Ch. 6. Analyses -- Ch. 7. Results -- Ch. 8. Discussion.Staff study final report.This study investigated the responses of older, middle-aged, and younger drivers during performance of emergency maneuvers in an interactive driving simulator. Thirty-six drivers, equally distributed among three age groups (20-29; 35-44; 65-74) participated in the 32.2-km (20-mi) simulated drive, during which they encountered four emergency events at two levels of difficulty. Data were also collected in two baseline segments where no emergency events occurred. The emergency events were situations where other vehicles performed unexpected maneuvers: pulling out in front of the subject's car from a side street, and turning left in front of the subject's car at an intersection. Information on driver performance variables, including avoidance behavior and emergency avoidance response time, was collected. None of the age groups differed in avoidance response time, speed, deviation from the speed limit, brake pedal force, or avoidance behavior. Age differences were found in lateral placement at intersections. Older drivers drove further to the right of the lane center than younger and middle-aged drivers. It is believed that this finding is a result of a higher level of defensive behavior among older drivers. No other differences in driving behavior were found between groups. In this experiment, subjects were not performing turning maneuvers. Future research should be directed, when possible, toward investigating driver behavior when making turning maneuvers across traffic.
