Accident; analysis and prevention·2014

Experienced drivers may possess superior visual search strategies, potentially enhancing their functional field of view and reducing accident risk. This study explored perceptual skills related to driving experience.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Human Factors
  • Transportation Safety

Background:

  • Novice drivers exhibit distinct search strategies compared to experienced drivers, potentially contributing to higher accident rates.
  • A key question is whether experienced drivers possess a wider functional field of view than novices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate individuals based on driving experience using their functional fields of view.
  • To investigate the relationship between driving experience and visual search capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Participants viewed driving videos from a first-person perspective.
  • They identified potential hazards within the video clips.
  • Peripheral target lights were used to assess visual attention and response to stimuli at varying eccentricities.

Main Results:

  • Peripheral target detection decreased as cognitive load (hazard presence) increased across all groups.
  • Target detection also decreased with increasing target eccentricity for all participants.
  • A significant effect of driving experience was observed, indicating a difference in perceptual skills.

Conclusions:

  • The developed paradigm effectively measures a perceptual skill or strategy that improves with driving experience.
  • Findings suggest that enhanced visual search strategies and functional field of view are associated with driving expertise.
  • This research provides insights into the visual processing differences between novice and experienced drivers.
