Evaluation of Driver Stress in a Motor-vehicle Driving Simulator Using a Biochemical Marker

Survey the effect of texting on driving performances using drivers driving a Simulator

Introduction: There is evidence that driver distraction is one of the major causes of vehicle accidents. One of the key factors that can affect people's driving performance drastically, is texting. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of texting on driving functions using a driving simulator. Methods and Materials: This study was conducted on 80 students ranging fro...

Using a driving simulator to identify older drivers at inflated risk of motor vehicle crashes.

PROBLEM To develop appropriate assessment criteria to measure the performance of older drivers using an interactive PC-based driving simulator, and to determine which measures were associated with the occurrence of motor-vehicle crash. METHOD One hundred and twenty-nine older drivers residing in a metropolitan city volunteered to participate in this retrospective cohort study. Using the drivi...

Using Mobile Phone while Driving: A Simulator Study of a Dualtask Condition

Objectives: Most studies have performed to identify the affective variables in using mobile phone by drivers based on interview and questionnaire. In this study call answering rate while driving was investigated in a sample of male postgraduate students of a university in Tehran by a driving simulator. Methods: Six driving scenario designed differing in risk of driving. Answer rate to mobile...

A driving simulator study of driver performance on deceleration lanes.

Deceleration lanes are important because they help drivers transition from high-speed lanes to low-speed ramps. Although they are designed to allow vehicles to depart the freeway safely and efficiently, many studies report high accident rates on exit ramps with the highest percentage of crashes taking place in deceleration lanes. This paper describes the results of a driving simulator study tha...
