| 摘要： | UCF driving simulator could be a powerful tool to be used as a traffic safety test bed to identify potential problems of intersection design, explain interaction between drivers ad roadway surroundings, and explore effective countermeasures to reduce traffic crash rates. To develop the UCF driving simulator as a safety bed, this project focused on validating the driving simulation from two perspectives, Speed and Safety. To achieve this research objective, a signalized intersection that has one of the highest crash frequencies in Central Florida was replicated in the driving simulator system. Eight scenarios were designed at the intersection in a driving simulator experiment. Subjects based on gender classification and five age groups of interest including Very Young (15 to 19), Young (20 to 24), Younger Middle-aged (25-34), Middle Middle-aged (35 to 44) and Older Middle-aged (45+) were recruited to test the eight scenarios. The experimental measurements based on subjects' performances in the simulator were compared to those measured in the field and police crash report analysis. It was found that drivers have similar driving performances and traffic risk patterns as found at the real intersection. Therefore, the experiment results validated that the UCF driving simulator could properly be employed as a test bed for driving heavier research and traffic safety studies. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Florida State Dept. of Transportation, Tallahassee.
