“…Nevertheless, some studies found that gender did not play a role in DSS symptoms ( 40 – 42 ). Motion sickness was recognized in some research as an influencing factor in increasing the possibility of simulator sickness ( 24 , 43 – 45 ). However, Frank et al stated that this factor may not affect DSS symptoms ( 40 , 41 ).…”

Driving simulators can provide safe real-world driving conditions that may help researchers study driving behavior; however, driving simulator sickness (DSS) has been recognized as one of the most frequent challenges associated with using driving simulators. The DSS issue may affect the validity and reliability of results obtained during the driving simulator experience. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the potential consequences of DSS in the virtual environment of a driving simulator. The goal of this study is to analyze DSS symptoms among participants of a driving simulator by their demographics. The samples of four simulator studies were combined, including a total of 259 participants who were recruited from different socio-demographic backgrounds and drove a fixed-base driving simulator. All these studies used the same proportion of mixed urban and suburban content in designing the simulation environments of the experiments. A DSS questionnaire based on the standard Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) has been used to measure the severity of DSS symptoms—general discomfort, fatigue, headache, eyestrain, blurred vision, salivation, sweating, dizziness, and nausea—among participants. This study applies zero-inflated ordered probit and ordered probit models to evaluate the possible statistical relationships between demographic characteristics and experiment duration, and DSS symptoms. The results show that there is a positive direct statistical relationship between the duration of the experiment and DSS. Also, older participants have more general discomfort, fatigue, blurred vision, and headache symptoms with DSS than do younger ones. Similarly, female participants experience headache and nausea symptoms more than men do.

“…The use of simulator education and training does appear to improve hazard perception skills (e.g. Carpentier, Wang, Jongen, Hermans, & Brijs, 2012;Chapman, Underwood, & Roberts, 2002;Fisher, Young, Zhang, Knodler, & Samuel, 2017;Pradhan, Fisher, & Pollatsek, 2006;Regan, Triggs, & Godley, 2000a, 2000bThomas et al, 2011). This education and training appears effective after four days (Pradhan et al, 2006) and four weeks (Carpentier et al, 2012;Regan et al, 2000b).…”

“…Overall, research evidence suggests that hazard perception simulator training results in skill improvement, at least in the short term (e.g. Carpentier, Wang, Jongen, Hermans, & Brijs, 2012;Chapman, Underwood, & Roberts, 2002;Pradhan et al, 2006;Regan, Triggs, & Godley, 2000a, 2000bThomas et al, 2011). However, few studies have undertaken follow-up investigations and even fewer have investigated the transfer of skills from the simulator to onroad driving.…”

Purpose-Driver education and licensing are two mechanisms used to reduce crash rates. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of these countermeasures and consider how simulators can be used to augment more traditional approaches. Approach-A literature review was undertaken evaluating key concepts in driver licensing including: graduated driver licensing, the role of parents in licensing, compliance and enforcement, driver testing ,how the driver licensing system impacts on levels of unlicensed driving. Literature regarding driver education for individuals who have and not yet obtained a licence was also reviewed. Findings-Graduated Driver Licensing is a successful countermeasure for reducing the crash rates of young novice drivers as it limits their exposure to higher risk situations. The support for driver education initiatives is mixed. As there are big differences between education programs, there is a need to consider each program on its own merits. Driving simulators provide a safe environment for novices to gain experience. In particular, they may be bifacial for development of hazard perception and visual scanning skills. Practical Implications-Graduated Driver Licensing systems should be introduced where appropriate. Existing systems should be strengthened where possible by including additional, best-practice, restrictions. When considering driver education as a countermeasure, the type of program is very important. Education programs that have been shown to increase crashes should not be introduced. Further research and development are necessary to ensure that driver education and licensing adequately equip novice drivers with the skills necessary to drive in the 21 st Century.
