Driving Ability Evaluation System to Improve the Conditional Driving License System: Safety and Feasibility Study.

Seoul National University Hospital100 enrolled

Overview

The primary objective of this study is to verify the safety and validity of a VR driving simulator developed for evaluating the driving abilities in healthy adults. This study also aims to establish indicators in VR driving simulator to evaluate high-risk group for driving, such as cognitive and physical abilities. Therefore, this study aims to measure the physical driving function and cognitive function of healthy drivers. to identify the correlation between their outcomes and the VR driving simulator's result

VR driving simulator is to evaluate the driving abilities of high-risk drivers, including the elderly and those with medical conditions, potentially prone to incapacitate driving. It aims to evaluate whether drivers who were anticipated to have impaired driving ability can handle highly risky situations for traffic accidents. The results of this study can be used to make the drivers know their status and encourage them to take safety training. Until now, the evaluation of driving abilities could only be conducted at licensing centers. However, the use of VR technology can eliminate spatial limitations, offering a promising tool for the objective assessment of driving skills.

VR Driving SimulatorDEVICE

Evaluation of usual road driving abilities and assessment of response capabilities in accident-prone situations through a VR driving simulator

Computerized Neurocognitive Function TestOTHER

Evaluation of cognitive levels including attention and memory (the Trail Making Test, Digit Span Test, Auditory (or Visual) Continuous Performance Test , and Card Sorting)

Driver Test StationOTHER

Conducting qualified tests of a person's basic physical driving ability including steering, acceleration and braking, using Driver Test Station(Autoadapt AB, Stenkullen, Sweden)

On-road field driving TestOTHER

Researchers and driver's license supervisors ride in the driver's license test vehicle to evaluate the subject's actual driving ability. the validity of the VR simulator by comparing the results of the VR simulator with the actual vehicle driving ability.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Feasibility of VR driving simulator

A questionnaire evaluating symptoms of simulator sickness such as dizziness or nausea and comprehension of contents

Time frame: 2 hours

Driving performance in simulator, measured by driving errors

Driving performance in simulator will be measured by driving errors during VR simluation of driving. These errors will be evaluated based on the criteria used for driving license tests, including violations of traffic laws.

Time frame: 15 minutes
