Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to elucidate and expand on the categorization of disabilities as they specifically relate to the driving task. The authors use the example of an amputee to derive the design parameters characteristic of a given disability. A lengthy table detailing the categories of amputation is included, and a discussion of the table in relation to driving an automobile is presented.
