    From Primavera:

    P3 3.1
    Driving resource means a resource that determines the duration of the
    activity to which it is assigned. P3 automatically calculates the
    activity duration based on the quantity to complete and the units per
    timeperiod of the driving resource. P3 schedules independent and
    meeting activities using the resource calendars of their driving
    resources.
    Defining a resource as driving or nondriving in the Resource Dictionary
    only establishes its default status; you can change it for any specific
    assignment.

    P3e
    A resource that determines the duration of the activity to which it is
    assigned. The Project Management module automatically calculates the
    activity duration based on the quantity to complete and the units per
    timeperiod of the driving resource.

    Defining resources as driving, by marking the Drive Activity Dates by
    Default checkbox for new resource assignments in the Projects window,
    Project Details, Resources tab, only establishes its default status;
    you can change it for any specific assignment.

    If an activity has more than one driving resource, the resource that
    takes the longest to complete determines the duration of the activity.
