Abstract
Optimum relocation of the brake relative to the accelerator can reduce stopping distance and may mean the difference between an accident and a near-accident. A driving simulator was used to examine efficiency of braking movement time. Movement times were measured for 60 participants (30 male, 30 female) in six different depth/lateral-separation conditions. Movement times were shown to improve as a result of moving the brake pedal from its typical heights above the accelerator to positions equal with and below the accelerator.
