Objective: Young novice drivers' poor hazard perception (HP) skills are a prominent cause for their overinvolvement in traffic crashes. HP, the ability to read road and anticipate forthcoming events, is receptive training. This study explored formation evaluation of new HP training intervention—the Act Anticipate Hazard Perception Training (AAHPT), which based upon exposing young drivers vast array actual hazards, aiming enhance potential hazards during testing. Method: Forty novices...
The Autism Work Skills Questionnaire (AWSQ), a new, comprehensive self-report assessment of person's vocational profile, was developed to help produce good person-job match. This preliminary study aimed at developing the questionnaire and determining its content validity internal consistency.Forty-six adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD), ages 18-39, were interviewed questionnaire. A two-phase conducted: (1) constructing (2) ascertaining consistency reliability.We...
Although hazard perception is an important skill found to be crucial for negotiating traffic among various types of road users, few studies have systematically investigated e-bike riders’ ability perceive potential unmaterialized hazardous situations or aimed enhance these abilities through training. The present study explored the formation two training interventions based upon exposing young complete-novice riders a vast array materialized hazards, with aim evaluating their effectiveness in...
Recently we have developed an innovative hazard perception training methodology, the Act and Anticipate Hazard Perception Training (AAHPT) that exposes young-inexperienced drivers to a large variety of traffic-scene movies. Trainees are asked act (i.e., respond) each time they perceive hazard. Trained untrained drivers, as well experienced were tested on 58 short video clips hazardous situations respond detected Finally, all observed six movies categorize them according similarity in their...
Objective: Hazard perception (HP) is typically defined as the ability to read road and anticipate hazardous situations. Several studies have shown that HP a driving skill correlates with traffic crashes. Measuring differences between various groups of drivers involves paradigm in which participants observe short videos real-world scenes taken from driver's or pedestrian's perspective press response button each time they identify hazard. Young, inexperienced are considered poor skills...
Although walking, the most ancient mode of transportation, offers a variety physical, mental and environmental health benefits, it is not without challenges. Road crashes are one main causes injuries fatalities worldwide, with pedestrians being major risk group. Aiming to create safer, more walkable urban environment for child-pedestrians, goal present study was explore factors that motivate them engage in unsafe situations. Hence, this examined child participants’ attitudes, beliefs,...
E-scooters are a trendy intercity mode of micro-mobility, experiencing steady rise in usage across Tel Aviv and other densely populated cities globally. Despite the increasing prevalence e-scooter use for urban transportation, there exists gap understanding attitudes these vulnerable road-users towards associated risks. This study aimed to explore e-scooters' implicit explicit toward risks with riding at different city locations Israel. Two experiments were conducted achieve this goal. The...
