Driving simulator validation with hazard perception
نویسندگان
چکیده
How should we assess the comparability of driving on a road and ‘‘driving’’ in a simulator? If similar patterns of behaviour are observed, with similar differences between individuals, then we can conclude that driving in the simulator will deliver representative results and the advantages of simulators (controlled environments, hazardous situations) can be appreciated. To evaluate a driving simulator here we compare hazard detection while driving on roads, while watching short film clips recorded from a vehicle moving through traffic, and while driving through a simulated city in a fully instrumented fixed-base simulator with a 90 degree forward view (plus mirrors) that is under the speed/direction control of the driver. In all three situations we find increased scanning by more experienced and especially professional drivers, and earlier eye fixations on hazardous objects for experienced drivers. This comparability encourages the use of simulators in drivers training and testing. ! 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Modeling Driver’s Hazard Perception using Driver's Personality Characteristics
Increasing vehicle popularity and, in the meantime, traffic accidents, is one of the most important death factors these days. Many policies have been implemented to decrease accident injuries and damages, and to increase safety. Between three effective factors in accidents, including human, vehicle, and road, human factor is known as the most important one. Human behavior during driving is deri...
متن کاملHazard Perception and Responding by Motorcyclists – Background and Literature Review
This project is the first stage of a larger program of research into hazard perception training for motorcyclists. Future stages of the project will investigate what type of environment can be used to teach hazard perception and responding, for example a simulator environment or combination of off-road and simulator training. This report summarises the research that has been conducted into haza...

This paper presents the kinematic analysis and the development of a 4-degree-of-freedom serial-parallel mechanism for large commercial vehicle driving simulators. The degrees of freedom are selected according to the target maneuvers and the structure of human motion perception organs. Several kinematic properties of parallel part of the mechanism under study are investigated, including the inve...
متن کاملTraining Hazard Perception of Young Novice Drivers - a Driving Simulator Study
Objective: The goal of this driving simulator study was to determine whether young novice drivers that were trained in hazard perception performed better than young novice drivers that did not receive training, immediately after training and two to four weeks after receiving the training. Participants: young novice drivers between the ages of 17 and 25 that held their temporary or permanent dri...
متن کاملCan a driving simulator assess the effectiveness of Hazard Perception training in young novice drivers?
Hazard awareness skills of young-novice drivers are receptive to training. Yet, there is no consensus on an optimal training program or acceptable measures to assess intervention effectiveness. The current study aimed to develop a driving Simulator based Hazard Perception Test (S-HPT) for assessing changes in awareness of hazards among trained young-novice driver, relative to a control group, a...
