Virtual Reality Driving Simulation for Measuring Driver Behavior and Characteristics

This article provides new insights regarding driver behavior, techniques and adaptability. This study has been done because: 1) driving a vehicle is critical and one of the most common daily tasks; 2) simulators are used for the purpose of training and researching driver behavior and characteristics; 3) the article addresses driver experience by involving new virtual reality technologies. A sim...

Examination of Driver Steering Adaptation on a Driving Simulator

Driver Gaze Behavior Is Different in Normal Curve Driving and when Looking at the Tangent Point

Several steering models in the visual science literature attempt to capture the visual strategies in curve driving. Some of them are based on steering points on the future path (FP), others on tangent points (TP). It is, however, challenging to differentiate between the models' predictions in real-world contexts. Analysis of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) parameters is one useful measure, as the d...

Measuring errors and violations on the road: a bifactor modeling approach to the Driver Behavior Questionnaire.

The Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) is a self-report measure of driving behavior that has been widely used over more than 20 years. Despite this wealth of evidence a number of questions remain, including understanding the correlation between its violations and errors sub-components, identifying how these components are related to crash involvement, and testing whether a DBQ based on a reduc...

Integrated Driving Behavior Modeling

A framework for integrated driving behavior modeling, based on the concepts of short-term goal and short-term plan is proposed. Drivers are assumed to conceive and perform short-term plans in order to accomplish short-term goals. This behavioral framework captures drivers' planning capabilities and allows decisions to be based on anticipated future conditions. An integrated driving behavior mod...
