Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The main purpose of the TRAINER project was to develop a new cost-effective Pan-European driver training methodology, based on computer based interactive multimedia and simulator technology, which paid significant attention not only to gain experience of driving and handling the vehicle, but also to the enhancement of risk awareness of learners drivers. For this purpose simulation tools were developed. A number of scenarios for application in the simulators were implemented. The scenarios addresses the most important needs of learner drivers, based on accident statistics and an extensive literature review. They have been structured in accordance with the four hierarchical levels of the GDE-matrix. In order to be able to assess the TRAINER tools impact on traffic safety, driver behaviour was measured in an experiment in the VTI research simulator. The drivers ' behaviour is , however, not only influenced by their driving performance skills, but also on their hazard perceptual abilities. This chapter covers one of two experimental studies carried out at VTI with the purpose of evaluating the effects of the TRAINER simulators on traffic safety. The experiment presented here is measuring driver behaviour and was carried out in the VTI research simulator. The other experiment was carried out in real traffic, where hazard perceptual skills were assessed by data from eye-tracker recording of visual search strategies of the driver. The results show significantly safer driver behaviour in the trial group when driving in fog and when responding to a SMS on a mobile phone. There were no significant differences in scenarios where a bus or where a moose unexpectedly appeared on the road. The results show that it is possible to improve driving behaviour by including simulator training in driver education. More research and development is, however, needed in order to design scenarios for better safety effect in more situations.

- Research on driver behaviour over the past two decades has clearly demonstrated that the goals and motivations a driver brings to the driving task are important determinants for driver behaviour. The importance of this work is underlined by statistics: WHO figures show that road accidents are predicted to be the number three cause of death and injury by 2020 (currently more than 20 million deaths and injuries p.a.). The objective of this second edition and of the conference, on which it is based, is to describe and discuss recent advances in the study of driving behaviour and driver training. It bridges the gap between practitioners in road safety, and theoreticians investigating driving behaviour, from a number of different perspectives and related disciplines. A major focus is to consider how driver training needs to be adapted, to take into account driver characteristics, goals and motivations, in order to raise awareness of how these may contribute to unsafe driving behaviour, and to go on to promote the development of driver training courses that considers all the skills that are essential for road safety.As well as setting out new approaches to driver training methodology based on many years of empirical research on driver behaviour, the contributing road safety researchers and professionals consider the impact of human factors in the design of driver training as well as the traditional skills-based approach. The readership includes road safety researchers from a variety of different academic backgrounds, senior practitioners in the field of driver training from regulatory authorities and professional driver training organizations such as the police service, and private and public sector personnel who are concerned with improving road safety.

- In-vehicle systems for car drivers with the aim of informing, gtvmg advice, warning or taking over in different situations, are developed rapidly. Examples of applications of such systems are speed control, incident warning, visibility improvement, navigation aid etc. The purpose of these systems is to increase safety, reduce pollution and/or to increase mobility. There is an extensive amount of research on the potentials and possibilities of these systems, but there are still many problems to be solved, which relate to how the driver reacts to and uses the systems. Examples of problems are level of acceptance, adjustment of the systems to differences in driver preconditions, impact of driver motives on how the systems are utilized, overestimation of the abilities of the systems etc. Several of these problems are relevant for drivers in general, but there are also reasons to expect specific problems when young novice drivers use the systems. Several of the problems generally regarded as important for the safety of young novice drivers may also have important impact on the potential in this group. This relates for example to their high mental workload, overestimation tendencies or typical young driver motives. VTI carried out this study with the aim of defining such young novice drivers' typical reactions and use of these in-vehicle systems.

- Just as our transport systems become more and more important to our economic and social well-being, so they become more and more crowded and more at risk from congestion, disruption, and collapse. Technology and engineering can provide part of the solution, but the complete solution will need to take account of the behaviour of the users of the transport networks.The role of psychologists in this is to understand how people make decisions about the alternative modes of transport and about the alternative routes to their destinations, to understand how novice and other vulnerable users can develop safe and effective behaviours, how competent users can operate within the transport system optimally and within their perceptual and cognitive limitations.The contributions to this volume address these issues of how the use of our transport systems can be improved by taking into account knowledge of the behaviour of the people who use the systems. Topics discussed include driver training and licensing, driver impairment, road user attitudes and behaviour, enforcement and behaviour change, driver support systems, and the psychology of mobility and transport mode choice.This work will be of value not only to psychologists but to all transport professionals interested in the application of psychology to traffic
