高齢ドライバに対する運転能力評価シミュレータ走行後のリプレイ教示による能力向上効果検証

The hazard perception test is one of the safety education methods aiming at the improvement of driver's attention. We have constructed a real image-type driving simulator which can extract the gaze information of the driver and dynamically evaluate the driver's hazard perception ability. In this paper, we tested the effectiveness of this system using 28 elderly drivers. The hazardous objects used for evaluation were decided based on the gaze information of driving school instructors. In this paper, we analyzed the gaze information of elderly drivers using this simulator and told the driver whether he/she was able to recognize the hazardous objects after the test was over, using the replay teaching method. After that, the driver took the test a second time. Comparing the result of the first trial (before teaching) and the second trial (after teaching), it was confirmed that the hazard perception ability improved.
