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...

Young novice drivers are overrepresented in crashes. One of the causes is their poor hazard perception skills. Can a brief PC-based prediction training speed up acquisition these skills? To investigate this was developed and tested. The consisted eight short videos from driver's perspective that ended crash or an emergency brake incident. Participants watched each video twice but only until moment dangerous scenario started to unfold. During following minute, they made as many predictions...

Driving while intoxicated is a major risk factor for road traffic crashes, and it important to understand the global developments, differences between countries, determinants of driving intoxicated. Because objective data are often missing, useful investigate self-reported data. The E-Survey Road Users' Attitudes (ESRA2) on attitudes behaviours in traffic—performed 21 countries Europe 32 worldwide—was used study prevalence impaired driving, national differences, changes over time, factors...

Abstract Automated vehicles (AVs) may feature blinded (i.e. blacked‐out) windows and external human–machine interfaces (eHMIs), the driver be inattentive or absent, but how these features affect cyclists is unknown. In a crowdsourcing study, participants viewed images of approaching from cyclist's perspective decided whether to brake. The depicted different combinations traditional versus AVs, eHMI presence, vehicle approach direction, visibility/window‐blinding, visual complexity...

To contribute to the understanding of vulnerability young adolescent cyclists, ages 12–14 years, this experiment compared and adult cyclists on effects distraction hazard perception skills (HP) test hypotheses that (a) would perform worse in HP than adults (H1), (b) deteriorate when distracted both age groups (H2), (c) detrimental effect be greater for adolescents (H3). In counterbalanced experiment, with as a between factor within-subject factor, was measured performance task consisting...
