Study Summary

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

Study Description

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.
