Given that feasibility of the proposed approach has been effectively demonstrated in Phase I, a Phase II program that features full prototype development and an efficacy study will be proposed. Additional surveys and interviews will evaluate system usability. Training effectiveness will be measured using a variety of assessment routines: driving simulation, videos, slides, surveys. To evaluate these objectives, a pilot study (N = 16) will be performed using a pre/post-test design with a prototype system.

#Driving hazard perception test 2014 drivers#

The immediate objectives are to: 1) improve or refresh the hazard perception skills of drivers, 2) increase driver awareness of safety issues involving driver distraction, fatigue, and impairment, 3) introduce new drivers to the specific driving environments and hazards associated with their job tasks and vehicle configuration, and 4) provide organizations a cost-effective means of deploying and managing this simulation-based training system. This system has the potential to be affordable and effective in reducing commercial driver crash rates. Not only can commercial entities use this database to screen individual drivers for deficiencies or areas that need improvement, but also to identify the shortcomings of the driver population as a whole. The innovation lies not in the simulator, but the creation and mining of the resulting cloud-based database. Driver performance and training data are accessible for tracking, normative data analysis, and system improvements.

#Driving hazard perception test 2014 simulator#

As a cloud-based system, it allows a single simulator station to be deployable anywhere there is connectivity using low cost, off-the-shelf hardware. To meet the traffic safety and training needs of commercial motor carriers, this Phase I SBIR proposes the development a cloud-based, commercial driver training system that uses job specific, multimedia instruction and low-cost, driving simulation technology to supplement traditional driver training. Simulation also provides an engaging platform fr disseminating knowledge, and improving overall hazard perception and response skills. When specified for a particular vehicle and task, the advantages of simulation-based training are clear: safety, versatility, standardization, repeatability, etc.

Proactive, traffic safety programs with driving simulation-based training provides an attractive means of preventing crashes. The industry is thus faced with the challenge of screening/training new drivers and re-training experienced drivers as turnover rates continue and crashes accumulate. Compounding the safety problem is the high commercial driver turnover rate and shortage of experienced drivers. workers and cost employers $60 billion annually in medical care, legal expenses, property damage, and lost productivity. ?
