This project examined the feasibility of using existing simulation and other electronic device technology with the potential for the safety training of novice drivers. Project activities included: a literature review; site visits and telephone inquiries to software and hardware firms; a workshop with a panel of experts; a task report with recommendations for training applications and platforms; and a final report.It was found that current driver training products geared for the PC primarily focus on knowledge-based training applications; and have limited simulation and interactivity characteristics. The gaming world uses more dynamic and realistic scenarios and has greater driving function-related interactivity, but has significantly greater development and proprietary concerns. Most driving simulators are primarily used for research and training; and due to their high cost, and limited accessibility are not applicable for the tr aining intended under the scope of this project.Recommendations are provided for training elements, software and hardware applications, and research needs. The most amenable training elements for novice drivers include hazard anticipation, visual scanning behavior, foveal/peripheral visual performance, and knowledge elements. Other training elements considered include peripheral visual performance, performance degradation, and speed and headway choice. Several programming languages, packages, and pre-production storyboard software packages are available to use in development. The most practical device to use for development and training is the IBM-compatible PC, because of its versatility, cost, accessibility, and popularity. Research should focus on human factors issues relating to trainee feedback and evaluation, criterion, incentives, incidental learning, transfer-of training, and non-driving-related and strategic learning. Research needs to address fidelity and scope of simulation for motion and visual systems; and to better understand network training applications across remote locations.

“…Two factors that contribute to high crash rates among adolescents include age-related driving inexperience and adolescents' propensity for risk-taking behaviors (Committee on Injury and Poison Prevention & Committee on Adolescence, 1996;Jonah, 1986Jonah, , 1990Young, 1993). As novice drivers, adolescents lack the experience and ability necessary to detect and respond to hazards while controlling their vehicle and its speed.…”

The goal of this study was to examine relations among problem-driving practices and parenting practices. Three hundred adolescents licensed 2 years or less were interviewed about driving behaviors, parenting practices, and orientations toward deviance. Factors significantly related to risky driving behaviors, traffic violations, and motor vehicle crashes included lower levels of parental monitoring and control, and lenient parental restrictions on driving (i.e., friends as passengers and driving curfews). Parental monitoring was among the subset of variables most useful in predicting risky driving behaviors. Violations were 4 times more likely with lenient restrictions related to frequency of friends as passengers and 2 times more likely with low parental control. Crashes were 7 times more likely with lenient restrictions related to frequency of friends as passengers. Overall, the findings suggest that adolescent problem driving is related to parenting practices.

An analysis is presented of adolescent driving risk, the advantages of graduated licensing programs, and the potential for parent-based programs to moderate teen driving risks. Risk factors associated with youthful driving illustrate the potential importance and benefits of limiting the amount and conditions under which teens can drive. State policies, such as graduated driver licensing systems that formalize restrictions on youthful driving. have been shown to be effective. However, teen driving risks remain elevated. Parents are in a prime position to extend the benefits of state restrictions by developing and implementing their own tailored family policies on adolescent driving. Unfortunately, parents of adolescent drivers are often under-aware of the need to do so and fail to impose effective driving restrictions. An ongoing parent-based intervention to increase parental restriction on teen driving is described, and issues involved in implementing and evaluating family-centered approaches to reduce teen driving risk are raised.
