Understanding hazard perception in filmed and simulated environmentsTools Runham, Patrick (2016) Understanding hazard perception in filmed and simulated environments. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
AbstractEach year millions of people around the world are killed or injured due to being involved in collisions while driving on the roads, with young and inexperienced drivers most likely to be killed or injured. Numerous studies have found a link between the likelihood of a driver being involved in a collision and their hazard perception (HP) ability, with young and inexperienced drivers having inferior HP abilities compared to older and more experienced drivers. This thesis presents a series of studies that investigate the factors that affect HP performance as well as comparing different HP testing methods. The traditional video-based method is explored as well as new methods utilising a high-fidelity driving simulator (used as an analogue of real-world driving) in order to see if there are ways of making HP testing more representative of detecting and responding to hazards while driving on the road. This thesis also explores the use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIR) as a portable and flexible means of measuring dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) activity during driving.
