Funded Activity Summary

The estimation of vehicle speed under varying environmental and individual state conditions. Using innovative occlusion and training research designs on a driving The proposed project examines the contribution of a mental model approach to the perception of time and speed of own and other vehicles using innovative occlusion and training research designs on a driving simulator. Participants will be asked to make time and speed estimations under varying environmetal conditions such as urban and rural scenes, straight and curved roads, and with and without engine noise, and under drug states. The generality of the findings will be tested on an instrumented car. The project will increase our understanding of factors influencing speed perception, a critical component of safe driving behaviour.
