“…Nevertheless, it has been questioned whether simulation is a valid representation of real-world risky driving (Jongen, Vuurman, Ramaekers, & Vermeeren, 2016). Driving simulators, it is argued, often lack motion experienced within real-life driving and therefore may limit the extent to which motions such as speed changes and immediate halts are experienced (Godley, Triggs, & Fildes, 2002). Research in this area would therefore benefit from further investigations, refining methods and systematically assessing specified driving-related behaviours (e.g.…”

“…But the experimental demonstration of the equivalence of simulated conditions and reality is scarce and unconfirmed (Conchillo, Nunes, Ruiz, & Recarte, 1999;Harms, 1996;Recarte, Conchillo, & Nunes, 2005). A study explicitly focusing on the validation of a driving simulator for speed research (Godley, Triggs, & Fildes, 2002) indicated positive results in terms of relative validity, regarding the evaluation of drivers' decelerating reactions to specific speed reduction measures, while at the same time, the authors remark on the lack of absolute validity when comparing speed values between real driving and simulated conditions, and the limited scope of the relative validity results.…”

The aim of this research was to study the performance in a speed estimation task of a passenger travelling in a real car in different scenarios: a closed track used in previous experimental studies was compared with interurban traffic environment involving a secondary road and a highway. At the same time, the effect of sex and driving experience on speed estimation was analyzed. Thirty-six participants (18 male and 18 female, half of each group being drivers and half non-drivers) estimated the speed of the car in which they travelled as passengers. The actual speed values varied in the range of 40-100 km/h for the secondary road, 70-120 km/h for the highway condition, and 40-120 km/h for the track. The results obtained for the track in previous studies Recarte, Conchillo, & Nunes, 2004 were replicated in the same condition and were also verified for the secondary road scenario. However, a different pattern of errors was found for the highway. From the viewpoint of psychophysics, the participants were more accurate on the without-traffic track than in real traffic conditions, considered as a whole. The differences found between road and highway are discussed. No effect was found for between-subject variables, sex, and driving experience. Keywords: speed estimation, subjective speed, traffic psychology El objetivo de esta investigación es comparar las estimaciones de la velocidad de un coche real circulando en diferentes escenarios: un circuito sin tráfico, utilizado en estudios experimentales previos, se compara con un escenario interurbano abierto al tráfico, consistente en un tramo de carretera convencional y un tramo de autovía. Asimismo se analiza el efecto del sexo y la experiencia de conducción sobre las estimaciones de la velocidad. Treinta y seis participantes (mitad varones, mitad mujeres y, por experiencia, mitad conductores y mitad no conductores) estimaron la velocidad del coche en el que iban sentados como pasajeros. Las velocidades a estimar variaron de 40 a 100 km/h en carretera, de 70 a 120 km/h en autovía, y de 40 a 120km/h en el circuito. Los resultados obtenidos en circuito replicaron los de estudios previos (Recarte y Nunes, 1996; Recarte, Conchillo y Nunes, 2004;, y también los obtenidos en carretera. Sin embargo, la estimación en autovía presentó un patrón de errores diferente a los anteriores. Desde el punto de vista de la psicofísica, los sujetos estimaron con más precisión en el circuito sin tráfico que en las dos condiciones de tráfico real, carretera y autovía, en su conjunto. Se comentan las diferencias entre carretera y autovía. No se encontraron diferencias debidas a las variables inter-sujetos, sexo y experiencia en conducción. Palabras clave: estimación de la velocidad, velocidad subjetiva, psicología del tráfico

“…Simulator validation is complicated by a number of factors and has long been a subject of active research (Blaauw, 1982;Harms, 1996;Tornos, 1998;Godley, Triggs, & Fildes, 2002;Molino, Opiela, Katz, & Moyer, 2005). Among the important factors that should be considered are the various ways in which the fidelity of the research platforms differ and the importance that these differences might have on the obtained results.…”
