Dataset: Driver control in real and simulated low-friction vehicle testing manoeuvres

Link: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/VA5KR Data collected with professional Jaguar Land Rover test drivers in three different low-friction vehicle testing manoeuvres, both in a real vehicle on a frozen lake, and in a high-fidelity reconstruction of the same tests in the University of Leeds moving-base driving simulator. Described and analysed in (Markkula et al., 2018) and (Romano et al., 2019). The simulator data for one of the tests is also available in the dataset linked here.

Model of visual-vestibular sensory integration in steering control

Link: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/K6WCP An extension of the task-general model of intermittent sensorimotor control (implementation linked here) to visual-vestibular sensory integration in car steering, including “optimal cue” reweighting of the integration, and other hypothesised behavioural adaptation mechanisms in response to downscaled vestibular cues, such as for example in a driving simulator. As proposed in (Markkula et al., 2019). The key script is RunSimulateSlalom.m, as called by do_SimulateSlalom.m. Markkula, G., Romano, R., Waldram, R.

Dataset: Human steering control in straight lane-keeping and at-limit steering tasks

Link: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/DF9PW Data from two experiments in the University of Leeds moving-base car driving simulator, as described in (Markkula et al., 2018): (1) simple lane-keeping on a straight road, (2) at-limit vehicle control on a circular curve track on ice. The latter data is also included in the dataset linked here. Markkula, G., Boer, E., Romano, R., & Merat, N. (2018).

Steering wheel reversal rate metric implementation

Link: https://github.com/gmarkkula/SteeringWheelReversalRate Implementation of the driver performance metric “steering wheel reversal rate”, as defined in (Markkula and Engström, 2006). This method for defining and calculating the metric, including the exact code linked here, is also standardised by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE, 2015). Markkula, G., & Engström, J.
