Vegter, R.J.K. (author), Lamoth, C.J. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), De Groot, S. (author), Van der Woude, L.H.V. (author)Changes in propulsion technique due to motor learning might account for a higher mechanical efficiency (ME, the ratio of internal power over external power). The changes in ME and propulsion technique were studied in a learning experiment, three times a week for eight minutes, with nine able-bodied subjects, simulating early rehabilitation....conference paper 2011

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),...conference paper 2011

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...conference paper 2010

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...conference paper 2010

De Groot, S. (author), De Winter, J.C.F. (author), Wieringa, P.A. (author), Mulder, M. (author)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...conference paper 2010
