Devices such as the 16PF and MMPI have been widely employed in the evaluation of personnel in aviation settings. The present study investigated the problem of item ambiguity (the degree to which an item elicits multiple interpretation) which may limit the utility of such devices when used in screening procedures.Subjects completed either the 16PF o

This research determined the tire-pavement friction demands of vehicles performing high-speed passing maneuvers. These frictional demands were found by photographing and analyzing passing maneuvers performed under actual highway conditions. Critical frictional requirements are proposed for application to skidding accident prevention programs that i
