“…Also indicative of deep learning is the fact that RAPT training generalized from learning with videos taken in one location to driving in the real world in an entirely different location, both immediately after training and up to a year after training (Taylor, et al, 2011). Finally, indicative of deep learning is the finding that only 17 minutes or RAPT training generalizes to a real world reduction in crashes (Roberts, Zhang, Fisher, & Vaca, 2021). Of course, none of the above proves that there was deep learning or that the second dose activated the deep learning.…”

“…This study focuses on tactical hazard anticipation for these three crash types given that tactical hazard anticipation is the only skill to date for which training has been linked to a reduction in crashes (Roberts et al, 2021). The program contained six scenarios for each of the above three risky crash types, for a total of 18 scenarios as described below.…”

“…Environmental latent hazards are those which cannot be seen but which can be predicted might materialize based on cues in the environment. Environmental latent hazards are the latent hazards considered here because they are the only ones for which training has been shown to reduce crashes (Roberts et al, 2021; Thomas et al, 2016; Zhang, et al, 2016).…”

“…As noted above, these effects have been shown to extend beyond glances to actual crashes (Thomas et al, 2016; Zhang, et al, 2016). For example, a recent reanalysis of the crash data using SES as a control variable found that the effects of RAPT were largest among low SES participants and did not vary as a function of age or gender (Roberts et al, 2021). All in all, these simulator and on-road training evaluation studies confirm the effectiveness of the training programs, but also highlight the need for the improvement and investigation of potential mechanisms for training retention and application.…”

Objective We examined the effectiveness of a second exposure to ACCEL, a novel driving training program, on latent hazard anticipation (HA) performance several months after their first exposure. Background Past research has demonstrated that PC-based driver training programs can improve latent HA performance in young novice drivers, but these improvements are below the ceiling level. Method Twenty-five participants were randomly assigned to either the Placebo group, the ACCEL-1 group, or the ACCEL-2 group. Following the completion of the assigned training program, participants drove a series of eighteen scenarios incorporating latent hazards in a high-fidelity driving simulator with their eyes tracked. Participants returned two to six months following the first session and completed either the placebo program (ACCEL-1 and Placebo groups), or a second dose of training program (ACCEL-2 group), again followed by simulated evaluation drives. Results The ACCEL-2 group showed improved HA performance compared to the ACCEL-1 and Placebo groups in the second evaluation. Conclusion ACCEL enhances young novice drivers’ latent HA performance. The effectiveness of ACCEL is retained up to 6 months, and a second dose further improves HA performance. Application Policy makers should consider requiring such training before the completion of graduate driver license programs. Young novice drivers that do not show successful latent HA performance could be required to complete additional training before being allowed to drive without restrictions.

The drivers’ hazard perception plays an important role in preventing and reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents. In order to explore the drivers’ hazard perception and their behavioral characteristics in overt and covert hazards, hazardous events of three traffic conflict types (vehicle to vehicle, vehicle to cyclist and vehicle to pedestrian) were designed for overt and covert hazards based on the UC-win/Road driving simulation software, respectively. 35 drivers were organized to conduct the driving simulation tests. The data of driving behavior was collected when they were driving. A comparative analysis of drivers’ hazard perception ability and driving behavior characteristics was carried out for hazardous scenarios and traffic conflict types. The result has shown that drivers are more likely to take slowing measures or brake earlier in overt hazard scenarios to ensure safe driving. And drivers are more likely to be involved in collisions in covert hazard scenarios. The types of traffic conflict have a significant effect on the hazard perception ability of drivers (F = 5.92, p < 0.01). Drivers have the strongest hazard perception for cyclists and the weakest hazard perception for pedestrians. Traffic conflict types has a significant effect on drivers’ average braking depth (F = 32.31, p < 0.01), average speed (F = 13.78, p < 0.01), and average acceleration (F = 9.26, p < 0.01).
