Using artificial intelligenceDriving simulators have become an important tool for studying driver behaviour and assessing driving safety. Using simulators, researchers can simulate different traffic situations and observe driver reactions.
The impact of simulators on driving safety
A study by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana investigated the impact of driving simulators on driving safety between 2017 and 2020. The study showed that driving simulators can provide information on driver gestures in different traffic situations, which can form the basis for assessing driving ability.
Analysis of driving style
Driving style analysis can predict to a good extent how an individual will behave later on the road and, in particular, which types of offences or accidents they are more likely to be involved in. Some of the links are quite logical. Those who have afforded themselves a car with a more powerful engine are more likely to be fined for speeding.
Conclusion
Driving simulators have proven to be an effective tool for improving driving safety. They can be used to better understand driver behaviour and improve driver training for safer driving.
