Evaluating the risk of road traffic accidents (RTAs) and the reaction time of individuals with attention deficit disorder(ADD) in the virtual environment: A study protocol using the Sahand driving simulator and the Vienna test system

Background. Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) are one of the essential causes mortality;therefore, it is crucial to investigate influencing factors. Studies indicate that drivers with attention deficit disorder have weaker driving performance than others. Therefore, vital evaluate their in various circumstances, given distinctive patterns.
