Differences between racing and non-racing drivers: A simulator study using eye-tracking
van Leeuwen, P.M. (author), de Groot, S. (author), Happee, R. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)
Motorsport has developed into a professional international competition. However, limited research is available on the perceptual and cognitive skills of racing drivers. By means of a racing simulator, we compared the driving performance of seven racing drivers with ten non-racing drivers. Participants were tasked to drive the fastest possible...
Exploiting the possibilities of simulators for driver training
De Groot, S. (author)
Training in a simulator offers potential advantages compared to training in a non-simulated environment. Generally it is cheaper, safer, there is more control over the environment, and data collection is less complicated. These potential advantages give simulators the possibility to offer effective training. This thesis is divided into three...
On the way to pole position: The effect of tire grip on learning to drive a racecar
De Groot, S. (author), De Winter, J.C.F. (author)
Racecar drivers could benefit from new training methods for learning to drive fast lap times. Inspired by the learning-from-errors principle, this simulator-based study investigated the effect of the tire-road friction coefficient on the training effectiveness of a car racing task. Three groups of 15 inexperienced racecar drivers (low grip (LG),...

Braking to a full stop at a prescribed target position is a driving manoeuvre regularly used in experiments to investigate driving behaviour or to test vehicle acceleration feedback systems in simulators. Many different performance measures have been reported in the literature for analysing braking. These may or may not be useful to analyse the...
Hands-on experience of manual control in a human-machine systems engineering course
De Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), De Groot, S. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Wieringa, P.A. (author)
This paper presents the results of integrating hands-on experience in an engineering MSc course on human-machine systems. Students could voluntarily complete a homework assignment in which they performed manual control tasks using dedicated software. The tasks were accompanied by questions that students had to answer using the theory taught in...
Left turn gap acceptance in a simulator: Driving skill or driving style?
De Winter, J.C.F. (author), Spek, A.C.E. (author), De Groot, S. (author), Wieringa, P.A. (author)
This paper describes two driving simulator experiments on left turn gap acceptance at intersections. In the first experiment, participants (N = 24) had to turn left at 25 intersections and cross an approaching traffic stream of 25 equally-spaced vehicles, with a different combination of intervehicle gap time and approach speed at each...
Resources Sharing and Access Control in Group-oriented Networks: Fednet and Related Paradigms
Ibrohimovna, K.M. (author), Heemstra de Groot, S. (author)
A Personal Network (PN) is a network composed of devices of a person that can communicate with each other independently from their geographical location. Extra functionality in PNs enables the cooperation amongst different persons forming a group-oriented network called a Federation of Personal Networks (Fednet). A Fednet is a secure,...
