Area of Science:

Traffic Safety Research
Driver Education Technology
Human Factors in Transportation

Background:

Young drivers are a high-risk group with a significant prevalence of road traffic crashes.
Current driver education and assessment methods may not sufficiently address risk awareness in new drivers.
Ensuring new drivers possess adequate risk awareness is crucial for enhancing overall traffic safety.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the feasibility and benefits of using a driving simulator screening test.
To complement the existing on-road driving test by identifying drivers not ready for assessment.
To detect drivers with insufficient risk awareness who may not be ready for the official driving test.

Main Methods:

A comparative study involving participants who passed and failed both simulator and on-road tests.
Utilized a driving simulator with 16 diverse scenarios (rural, urban, motorway) based on the GDE matrix.
Compared subjective and objective measures of driving performance and risk perception.
Recruited 70 participants from a traffic school.

Main Results:

The driving simulator screening test successfully identified drivers who perceived themselves as ready but lacked the necessary risk awareness for safe driving.
Deficiencies in self-evaluation, common among young drivers, were confirmed.
Simulator tests can detect risk awareness deficiencies not easily assessed in on-road tests.

Conclusions:

Driving simulators offer a viable screening tool to complement traditional driving tests.
Simulator-based training, linked to the GDE matrix, can be a valuable pedagogical tool for improving self-evaluation and risk awareness.
Targeted simulator scenarios are effective in assessing risk perception and driving behavior crucial for road safety.
