Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the relevance of the driving resumability judgment and the results of the driving simulator (DS) and to clarify to what degree the DS evaluation results are used. The subjects were 50 responders who requested to resume driving after brain injuries (27 resumed driving groups, 23 non-resuming groups). Statistical analysis was performed by comparing the sub-items of the DS with each other between the groups, examining the performance and cutoff values. The cut-off values were calculated as the total number of false reactions, total stop-start, overall total, and total judgment scores. In the cases where the cutoff values were 3 or more, the accuracy of judgement of non-resuming subjects was 78%;it became clear that there was a high probability that subjects would be judged as non-resuming.
