چکیده
Novice drivers tend to restrict their search of the road on dual-carriageways, relative to the scanning observed in experienced drivers. The present study determined whether the difference was the result of novices having limited mental capacity remaining after vehicle control had been maintained, or whether it resulted from an impoverished mental model of the events likely to occur on a dual-carriageway. Novice and experienced drivers watched video-recordings taken from a car travelling along a variety of roads, including dualcarriageways, and their eye movements were recorded to determine the scanning patterns as they followed instructions to indicate hazardous events. The experienced drivers showed more extensive scanning on the demanding sections of dual-carriageway in this task. This supports the hypothesis that the inspection of the roadway by novices is limited not because they have limited mental resources residual from the task of vehicle control, but that they have an impoverished mental model of what is likely to happen on dual-carriageways. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

In this paper we explore the time course of a lane change in terms of the driver’s control and eyemovement behavior. We conducted an experiment in which drivers navigated a simulated multi-lane highway environment in a fixed-base, medium-fidelity driving simulator. We then segmented the driver data into standardized units of time to facilitate an analysis of behavior before, during, and after a...

The study, comparing dierent driver licensing methods, involved 267 subjects (132 male, 135 female) with a mean age of 19.6 years (range 17±23) who had obtained their driver's licence either by completing a competency-based training course (145 subjects) or by passing a practical examination (122 subjects). Subjects completed a survey regarding their driving attitudes, behaviours and experienc...

This study examined the causal factors associated with anger while driving and the possible consequences of that anger on driving behaviour. Drivers kept diaries over a period of two weeks, detailing the events occurring during each journey in that time, with notes on events such as near accidents and on feelings of anger. The study examined the diaries of 100 drivers, who reported a total of 2...

Car drivers appear to reduce their driving speed in high task demand situations. Summala's [Safety Sci. 22 (1996) 103±117]; [in: J.A. Rothengatter, & E. Carbonell Vaya (Eds.), Trac and Transport Psychology: Theory and Application, Pergamon, Oxford, 1997, pp. 41±52] model of behavioural adaptation (MBA) also assumes that drivers increase speed in low task demand situations or attend to addition...
