“…Other HP tests have analysed the HP skills of motorcyclists without driving experience [28] and in Australia the HP of car drivers and motorcyclists has been compared [29]. HP tests were also designed from the perspective of motorists in the UK [30,31] and in other countries such as Italy [32,33]. Recently, HP from the perspective of professional drivers has been studied.…”

Hazard Perception and Prediction test for walking, riding a bike and driving a car: “Understanding of the global traffic situation”

To "put oneself in the place of other road users" may improve understanding of the global traffic situation. It should be useful enabling drivers to anticipate and detect obstacles in time to prevent accidents to other road users, especially those most vulnerable. We created a pioneering Hazard Perception and Prediction test to explore this skill in different road users (pedestrians, cyclists and drivers), with videos recorded in naturalistic scenarios: walking, riding a bicycle and driving a car. There were 79 participants (30 pedestrians, 14 cyclists, 13 novice drivers and 22 experienced drivers). Sixty videos of hazardous traffic situations were presented, divided into 2 blocks of 30 videos each: 10 walking, 10 riding a bicycle, 10 driving a car. In each situation presented, we evaluated the performance of the participants carrying out the task of predicting the hazard and estimating the risk. In the second block, after they had carried out the task, we gave them feedback on their performance and let them see the whole video (i.e., checking what happened next). The results showed that the holistic test had acceptable psychometric properties (Cronbach's alpha = .846). The test was able to discriminate between the different conditions manipulated: a) between traffic hazards recorded from different perspectives: walking, riding a bicycle and driving a car; b) between participants with different user profiles: pedestrians, cyclists and drivers; c) between the two test blocks: the first evaluation only and the second combining evaluation with this complex intervention. We found modal bias effects in both Hazard Perception and Prediction; and in Risk Estimation.

“…Certainly the current advanced motorcycle training offered by IAM claims to focus on both progression and safety, trying to balance improvements in skill with improvements in risk management. In recently published data we have noted advanced trained riders to have faster response times to hazards in a motorcyclespecific hazard perception test than merely-experienced riders, with novice riders falling nonsignificantly in-between (Crundall, van Loon, Stedmon and Crundall, 2013). The same group of experienced riders were also found to take a more pronounced racing line on a particular S-bend than advanced and novice riders while on a motorcycle simulator (Crundall, Crundall and Stedmon, 2012).…”

“…At the end of the simulator session a final simulator sickness check was completed, followed by the Motorcycle Rider Behaviour Questionnaire (MRBQ). Other tests were subsequently administered including a workload measure (NASA-TLX), a locus of control test, and a motorcycle hazard perception test (see Crundall, van Loon, Stedmon and Crundall, 2013;, though these additional tests will not be discussed further in this paper.…”

Motorcyclists are over-represented in collision statistics. While many collisions may be the direct fault of another road user, a considerable number of fatalities and injuries are due to the actions of the rider. While increased riding experience may improve skills, advanced training courses may be required to evoke the safest riding behaviours. The current research assessed the impact of experience and advanced training on rider behaviour using a motorcycle simulator. Novice riders, experienced riders and riders with advanced training traversed a virtual world through varying speed limits and roadways of different curvature. Speed and lane position were monitored. In a comparison of 60 mph and 40 mph zones, advanced riders rode more slowly in the 40 mph zones, and had greater variation in lane position than the other two groups. In the 60 mph zones, both advanced and experienced riders had greater lane variation than novices. Across the whole ride, novices tended to position themselves closer to the kerb. In a second analysis across four classifications of curvature (straight, slight, medium, tight) advanced and experienced riders varied their lateral position more so than novices, though advanced riders had greater variation in lane position than even experienced riders in some conditions. The results suggest that experience and advanced training lead to changes in behaviour compared to novice riders which can be interpreted as having a potentially positive impact on road safety.3

“…This opportunity, in turn, has been demonstrated to improve the ability of novice riders to recognize hazard situations and to react in such a way as to avoid risks ( Vidotto et al, 2008 , 2011 ). Indeed, risk appraisal and recognition represent the most important underlying processes for road safety driving or riding ( Deery, 1999 ; Rosenbloom et al, 2011 ; Vidotto et al, 2011 ; Crundall et al, 2013 ). This ability has been also demonstrated to be related to psycho-physiological responses, such as SCRs, that seem to be enhanced with experience ( Kinnear et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Consequently, one way to improve road safety education programs is to introduce training aimed at enhancing hazard perception. The most common way to do that is by showing video clips of real traffic scenarios and asking participants to detect hazards ( Isler et al, 2011 ; Crundall et al, 2013 ). Employing this technique, Kinnear et al (2013) demonstrated that, while watching a hazard scene, an anticipatory skin conductance response (SCR) can be recorded and that experienced drivers show more SCRs than novice drivers (i.e., whom have driven less than 1000 miles).…”

Long-lasting virtual motorcycle-riding trainer effectiveness

This work aimed to test the long-lasting effects of learning acquired with a virtual motorcycle-riding trainer as a tool to improve hazard perception. During the simulation, the rider can interact with other road actors and experience the most common potential accident situations in order to learn to modify his or her behavior to anticipate hazards and avoid crashes. We compared performance to the riding simulator of the two groups of participants: the experimental group, which was trained with the same simulator one year prior, and the control group that had not received any type of training with a riding or driving simulator. All of the participants had ridden a moped in the previous 12 months. The experimental group showed greater abilities to avoid accidents and recognize hazards in comparison to their performance observed a year before, whereas the performance of the control group was similar to that of the experimental group 1 year before in the first two sessions, and even better in the third. We interpreted this latter result as a consequence of their prior on-road experience. Also, the fact that the performance of the experimental group at the beginning of the follow-up is better than that recorded at the end of the training—1 year before—is in line with the idea of a transfer from the on-road experience to the simulator. The present data confirm our main expectation that the effectiveness of the riding training simulator on the ability to cope with potentially dangerous situations persists over time and provides additional evidence in favor of the idea that simulators may be considered useful tools for training the ability to detect and react to hazards, leading to an improvement of this higher-order cognitive skill that persists over time. Implications for the reciprocal influence of the training with the simulator and the on-the road experience are discussed as well.
