Can We Study Autonomous Driving Comfort in Moving-Base Driving Simulators? A Validation Study

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2016
Objective: To lay the basis of studying autonomous driving comfort using driving simulators, we assessed the behavioral validity of two moving-base simulator configurations by contrasting them with a test-track setting. Background: With increasing level of automation, driving comfort becomes increasingly important. Simulators provide a safe environment

Exploring driving characteristics of fit- and unfit-to-drive neurological patients: a driving simulator study

Traffic Injury Prevention, 2020
Objective: To identify driving characteristics of fit-, unfit-, and conditionally fit-to-drive neurological patient populations using a driving simulator with three high-risk scenarios comprising rural, highway, and urban environments.Methods: The study included 91 neurological patients undergoing a multidisciplinary assessment for driver's license ...

A validation study of driving errors using a driving simulator

Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 2015
BACKGROUND Driving simulators have become an important research tool in road safety. They provide a safer environment to test driving performance and have the capacity to manipulate and control situations that are not possible on-road. Aim To validate a laboratory-based driving simulator in measuring on-road driving performance by type and mean driving

Virtual reality driving simulator for user studies on automated driving

Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications: Adjunct Proceedings, 2019
Nowadays, HCI Research on automated driving is commonly carried out using either low-quality setups with 2D monitors or expensive driving simulators with motion platforms. Furthermore, software for user studies on automated driving is often expensive and hard to modify for different scenarios.

Diverging diamond interchanges: A driving simulator study

Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 2020
Abstract This study assessed driver performance while navigating a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) compared to a standard intersection in a driving simulator. A total of 201 Western Australian (WA) drivers aged 18–80 years completed the simulator drive and questionnaire.

User Studies on Driving Simulator

2016
In this chapter, we have investigated the use of eye gaze tracking for operating a dashboard in an automotive environment. In our previous studies, the primary task was pointing and selection in a graphical user interface. In the following two studies, we investigated pointing and selection tasks in a dual-task set-up where the primary task was ...

Systematic review of driving simulator validation studies

Safety Science, 2019
Abstract Driving simulators are a common tool for researching driver behaviour, providing practical, safe, and controlled environments. Despite their frequent use in research, there is relatively little evidence confirming their validity (i.e., how accurately they represent or reproduce real-world driving).

The effect of billboard design specifications on driving: A driving simulator study

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2020
Research on the effect of advertising billboards on road safety has accumulated over the past seven decades, but has led to inconclusive data, which prevent clear-cut conclusions. To enhance road safety, it was suggested that researchers should shift their efforts to exploring which billboard characteristics are distracting by nature.

Driver Performance Approaching and Departing Curves: Driving Simulator Study

Traffic Injury Prevention, 2013
This article reports the outcomes of a driving simulator study on the driver performance approaching and departing curves. The study aimed to analyze driver performance in the tangent-curve-tangent transition and verify the assumption of constant speed in a curve that is commonly used in the operating speed profiles; test whether the 85th percentile of

Decision Making in Driving Moral Dilemmas: A Driving Simulator Study

AHFE International
Understanding how humans make decisions in dangerous driving situations, such as moral dilemmas, can provide valuable insights for assessing autonomous vehicles (AVs) and bridging the gap between AV algorithms and human morality. It is generally assumed that drivers will make utilitarian choices if given enough time, meaning their chosen actions align ...
