Abstract
Accidents of vehicles in taking curves in the roads are often caused by erroneous reactions of the driver, because he is not able in a short period of time to evaluate the angle of inclination, so the subject of this paper is to analyze, with kinematics reliance, influence of external stimulation on illusions that man feels and makes mistakes in commands usage in eight simulated conditions of driving (both sides rotation, uphill and downwards movement, light and dark conditions). Experimental research shows that average errors in evaluation of the angle of inclination and the time of correction of the route of the vehicle are: τ = 1.1°– 3.4° and t = 7 –14.11 s. From the aspect of space disorientation, the critical curve in the road in conditions of poor visibility is the right curve, so that problem should attract special attention in future research.
