Functioning Of Zone Control Systems

By Rosella Campbell


Driving just like quantitative science is an intangible form of art. The best drivers in the world naturally develop an internal feeling and intuition that helps them to move along quickly and safely.in the late 1990s a system was made by a certain researcher known as Fredrik Mottola known as the zone control driving that was used to systematize some of the intangible concepts of driving. The zone control systems applies the principle of defensive driving.

Defensive driving refers to the certain things that drivers do when driving to avoid crashing into the things around them. Mottola however had quite a different idea. He developed a system that does not depend on defensive driving but one that relies on precision and teaching the race drivers how to actively control the space that is around them.

In line with the scheme by Mottola, the motorist is not a casualty of situations but a person who is capable of having full control of their environs. From this thought the control section of these schemes was derived. This scholar was clever enough to create a military like scheme and created several reactions to them.

His scheme consisted of several zones surrounding the vehicle. Each zone was made to stretch to a definite distance that is inside the sight of the motorist. The zones are separated into the closed and the open. The open ones refer to those that are big enough for the entire vehicle to fit while the closed are not able to accommodate an entire vehicle. The closed areas have the sight of the motorist blocked.

The open zones are just as large as the driver can see. This helps them to be able to concentrate on the whole distance and not on a specific car that is nearby. This is the knowledge that is applied in the manufacture of large trucks. The driving seat is put high up to enhance the view of the driver. This helps them to be able to identify any road conditions and also spot if there are any traffic or road curves.

These zones help the drivers to concentrate on what is before them. Whether they concentrate or not, the brain will always register what is in their vision. Once they have information about what is happening far beyond them they can monitor their space well and advance the drivers around them.

All this information about zones is supposed to teach drivers one thing. They should learn to act on their space instead of reacting. The basic concept is that they should always make sure they have an open space around them whether it is to the left, right, front or back. This gives them a chance to act if anything happens.

Every driver must go about every day learning to identify and monitor their zones. They should develop habits that their brains will master automatically so that they do not have to think about it all the time. This is something that every artist does and it helps to make their work easier. Driving is also a form of art and it should be treated the same way.
