Self-Motion Speed Perception of Visual Information in Driving: Modeling and Validation

Speeding through the pandemic: Perceptual and psychological factors associated with speeding during the COVID-19 stay-at-home period

“…A driver who acclimates to a higher speed on a highway, for example, may then tend to underestimate their speed when transferring onto an off ramp or local road. Similar effects occur with changes in gaze fixation distance: when one switches from a distant point of fixation to a nearer one while in motion, speed is typically underestimated ( Yotsutsuji and Kita, 2010 ).…”

Relationship between speed perception and eye movement—A case study of crash-involved and crash-not-involved drivers in China

“…Moreover, visual feedback regarding self-motion is provided by the optic flow, which can be used to estimate the direction of self-motion (heading) rapidly and efficiently [6]. Based on the optic flow theory, Hirofumi et al [7] proposed a theoretical model regarding driver perception of vehicle speed and found that the model is statistically valid.…”

“…Once the driver adapts to a low speed, the perceived speed of a high-speed test will be slightly improved [9]. In particular, when driving at a constant speed for a long time and then slowing down on an expressway off-ramp without paying attention to the speedometer, the actual speed may be higher than the expected speed of the driver [7], which is a very typical illusion of speed in driving.…”

Research on the Validation Method of Advanced Driving Simulators Based on the Speed Perception Model

“…During driving, speed perception is considered as the foundation and basis for the driving behavior selection and therefore speed perception is considered as the main factor affecting the validity of ADS. Among the speed perception studies, the driver speed selection (acceleration, deceleration) model based on function theory [5], optic flow [6] and visual physiological theory [7] is provided respectively.…”

“…In this paper, the speed perception model provided by Hirofumi [7] based on the visual physiological theory is expanded for the validation of ADS. Consequently, in this paper, the speed perception model of Hirofumi is firstly presented, and then the validation method of ADS based on this model is subsequently given, and finally the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.…”
