Novice drivers (16-year-olds with < or = 6 months' driving experience) have the highest crash involvement rates per 100 million vehicle miles (161 km). In past, this was attributed to greater risk taking poorly developed psychomotor skills. More recently, however, their high rate has been hypothesized be attributable largely relative inability acquire and assess information in inherently risky situations. The current study seeks evaluate hypothesis by recording eye movements while 72...

Younger drivers (18-21 years) are over-involved in crashes. Research suggests that one of the reasons for this over-involvement is their failure to scan areas roadway information about potential risks situations hazardous, but not obviously so. The primary objective present study develop and evaluate a training program addresses failure. It was hypothesised PC-based hazard anticipation would increase likelihood younger hazards on open road. In order test hypothesis, 12 trained untrained...

Driver education classes were once seen as a remedy for young drivers overin-volvement in crashes, but research results from the early 1970s disappointing. Few changes content or methods of instruction occurred until recently, this could change rapidly. Personal computers (PCs) can now present videos photorealistic simulations risky, cognitively demanding traffic scenarios that require quick responses without putting participant at risk. As such programs proliferate, evaluating their...

Evaluation of the effects a PC-based training program on risk perception in driving simulator.Novice drivers have fatality rate some eight times higher than that most experienced group drivers, primarily because novice driver's inability to predict ahead time risks will appear roadway. Current driver education programs, at least those United States, do not emphasize teaching awareness skills drivers.A and was developed evaluated. The involved using plan (top-down) views 10 risky scenarios...

Objective: This study aimed (a) to determine whether older drivers looked less often for potential threats while turning than younger and (b) compare the effectiveness of active passive training on drivers’ performance evaluation their driving skills in intersections. Background: Age-related declines vision, physical abilities, psychomotor coordination, cognition combine make it likely that will look during a turn. Research suggests should be an effective means improving self-awareness....

Older drivers are primarily overinvolved in crashes at intersections, and failure to attend regions that contain relevant information about potential hazards is a major contributor this problem. Corroborating this, we have found older both controlled scenarios on driving simulator somewhat less situations the road (i.e., fixate) target intersections significantly frequently than do younger experienced drivers. Moreover, developed training program substantially improves drivers' attention...

Several studies have documented the preference for physicians to attend impression and plan section of a clinical document. However, it is not clear how much attention other sections document receive. The goal this study was identify distribute their visual while reading electronic notes.We used an eye-tracking device assess patterns ten hospitalists as they read three notes. assessment included time spent specific note well rates reading. This analysis compared with content simulated verbal...

Office computer users view well over a billion displays in given year. The savings of only fraction second the time it takes to process each display can potentially lead enormous and cost savings. In recent research investigators have shown that on average subjects are quicker find target option highlighted than without highlighting. Paradoxically, related other slower an attempt resolve this paradox, additional set experiments was performed. Results from these suggest order determine...

&lt;div&gt; &lt;b&gt;Background&lt;/b&gt;. In 2022, vulnerable road user (VRU) deaths in the United States increased to their highest level more than 40 years. At same time, increasing vehicle size and taller front ends may contribute larger forward blind zones, but little is known about role that visual occlusion play this trend. &lt;b&gt;Goal&lt;/b&gt;. Researchers measured zones of six top-selling light-duty models (one pickup truck, three SUVs, two passenger cars) across multiple...

Automobile drivers were recently found to be risk averse when choosing among routes that had an average travel time shorter than the certain of a route considered as reference. Conversely, seeking longer reference route. In driving simulation study in which range times, this pattern was replicated thereference smaller ranges available routes. However, reversed larger We proposed simple heuristic model fit relatively complex data quite well. Actual or potential applications research include...

Young drivers (younger than 25 years of age) are overrepresented in crashes. Research suggests that a relevant cause is inadequate visual search for possible hazards hidden from view. The objective this study was to develop and evaluate low-cost, fixed-base simulator training program would address failure. It hypothesized elicited crashes the result better scanning latent scenarios were similar but situated different environment (near transfer), and, lesser degree, had altogether those...

(a) The purpose of this study was to determine whether novice drivers that were trained anticipate hazards did so better than who not immediately after training and up one year occurred. (b) Novice had held their restricted license for about month randomly assigned a PC-based hazard anticipation program (RAPT) or placebo (control) program. programs took hour complete. effects assessed in field drive by using patterns eye movements assess anticipated potential unseen hazard. (c) persisted...

Human patient simulation has been widely adopted in healthcare education despite little research supporting its efficacy. The debriefing process is central to education, yet alternative evaluation methods support providing optimal feedback students have not well explored. Eye tracking technology an innovative method for objective evaluative after a experience. purpose of this study was compare 3 forms simulation-based student (verbal debrief only, eye and combined verbal tracking) determine...

Overall, were risk-averse when average along shorter than but risk-seeking longer route. cognitive load higher, simplified their decision-making strategies. A simple probabilistic model describes...
