A Driving Scenario Control for Adaptive Simulated Experiences of Car Accident

Abstract

There are a lot of opportunities to have traffic safety education, which is indispensable for decreasing the risk of car accidents. However, it is quite hard for drivers who do not have any experiences of car accident to enhance their safe driving awareness. One promising approach to this problem is a driving simulator that provides drivers with simulated experiences of car accident. Although such experiences allow them to enhance their safe driving awareness, it could not give simulated car accident to be brought about by risk factors they have in mind. This paper proposes a driving scenario control model for driving simulator, whose purpose is to present adaptive simulated experiences of car accident according to drivers’ risk factors. This paper also reports a case study with the model. The results suggest that it could promote safe driving actions and awareness as immediate effect.
