With a laptop computer, progress of the bore can be viewed graphically in real-time with a profile of the bore and a birds-eye view of lateral deviation. On completion of the pilot bore, the system provides a record of the bore profile, lateral deviation from the projected path, and other data which can be retained as a computer file or printed for a hard copy record.

Considering that the driver safety objectives are to keep the vehicle lateral deviation within, for instance, n10% of a 3 m-wide lane and to maintain TLC above 2 s, Equation 6 predicts that drivers maintain their lateral acceleration r = [V.sup.2]/R below 0.55 m/s2, a value compatible with usual highway driving (Lechner & Perrin, 1993).
