“…VE is an environment simulated by a computer as a real environment or an imaginary environment which is displayed on a computer screen which is often placed in special equipment like driving simulators. Simulator sickness could contaminate the data collected through the driving simulator as what it will be capturing is unlikely to be participant's actual behavior (Ariffin et al, 2012). Out of 30 respondents, only 3.3% (n=1) of them reported that they experienced simulator sickness by using MiDOF.…”

“…However in Malaysia, the applications of simulator are only used for research and training. Both application using three type of simulator are used in Malaysia which are low-cost, medium cost and high cost (Ariffin et al, 2012). A typical development of a driving simulator requires the integration of several subsystem such as control inputs from car cabin, vehicle mathematical model, scenario development, visual display, auditory display, steering feel characteristics, performance measurement and data storage (Eskandarian, 2014).…”

This paper discusses about the development of a driving simulator with 2 Degree of Freedom (DOF) motion platform as a data collection tool for driver behavior research. The simulator was installed with motion platform, steering wheel, pedals, transmission, screens, computer, simulation software and sound system to record the driving behaviors in simulated traffic environment. Data containing information such as participants' response time, vehicle speed, acceleration, braking, turn signals use and vehicle positioning were collected. This paper also discusses the benefits of driving simulator development for driver behavior research while addressing its challenge and limitation for future improvement. The paper concludes that the driving simulator development can contribute significantly to road safety research specifically in driver behavior study.

Drivers’ Readiness to Use Car Driving Simulator as a Tool to Improve Driving Skill: A Preliminary Study

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Driving simulators have existed since the 1960s, but for a long time they remained too expensive to be used widely for training purposes. As IT related technology improved, the cost of driving simulators goes down in the last few years. Today, driving simulators have been used as a training device in the basic driver training. In developed countries the use of simulator in driving education is not new. In Malaysia, however, the use of simulators in training is quite new compared to other Asian countries. This paper presents the results of preliminary study on the readiness of Malaysian driver to use car driving simulator in training and education prior to driver licensing. Survey method was used to get information on drivers’ perception toward the introduction of driving simulator in selected driving institutes. The results of this study showed that all respondents agreed on the importance and usefulness of the driving simulator in improving the driving training process. Based on the result of this study, it is suggested that driving simulator should be implemented in the driving curriculum in order to produce competent driver.

Aberrant Driving Among Young Malaysian Drivers

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper discusses the result of a quasi experimental study aimed to investigate the relationship between personality traits and aggressive (aberrant) driving among young Malaysian drivers. 127 students with mean age of 22 (68 males and 59 females) and valid class B2 driving license were recruited for the study. Before exposure to experimental intervention, the participants completed Eysenck's Impulsivity Inventory (aka IVE Questionnaire) which assessed personality traits (impulsiveness, venturesome and empathy), and AVIS Questionnaire, developed by Vienna Test System (VTS) which assessed aggressiveness while driving. In the experiment the participants were shown video scenarios of aggressive driving as a stimulus for aggressive driving evaluation. They were then asked to respond to questions related to provocations and aggressive behaviour from other drivers on to themselves and of other drivers being provoked by the same situation. The results revealed significant relationship between empathy and personality types (p<0.05) where subjects who score low on empathy and high on venturesome-ness tended to be more aggressive. Even though nearly all participants admitted that Malaysian drivers were aggressive on the road, only 15% of the participants agreed that they are aggressive drivers themselves. Based on this study's results, it is suggested that personality screening tests should be implemented by the relevant agencies as a preliminary measure to reduce the road rage phenomena and aggressive driving.
