摘要
The aim of this study was to investigate how a change in the design of steering wheel may affect the safety and quality of driving by the driver. The object of the research was a new universal steering wheel enabling driving the car using only hands - intended for use by both able-bodied and disabled people. In order to assess the functionality of the steering wheel, a comparative study was carried out, with respect to a classic steering wheel. The study was performed using a dynamic simulator, with methodology developed especially for this experiment, introducing the so-called reference trajectory. The use of this trajectory allowed the introduction of qualitative criteria of road tests based on a measure of distance. The article presents the defined criteria. Drives of 30 drivers in "route" and "slalom" type road test were carried out. The article discusses the results of the slalom test. In this test, the driver's task was to maintain the reference trajectory while passing through narrowing curves. Statistical analysis showed significant difference in the value of selected steering wheel assessment indicators.
