Abstract

For safe driving, a driver should always keep their eyes on the road and focus on the surrounding circumstances. However, many drivers still carry out activities unrelated to driving, such as using cell phones while driving, which increases distraction and traffic accident risk. Additionally, rapid development of IT technologies and vehicle automation have improved control factors during driving. To measure these distractions and announce the traffic accident risk, there have been studies conducted around developing measurement techniques such as the visual occlusion test, lane change test, and detection response rate. However, each method carries a risk of contributing to a traffic accident during driving and lacks realism during simulated driving. As an alternative, the authors suggest a virtual reality driving simulator that includes a detect response time method to determine the response time from auto log data. It is presented as a low-cost application method to measure driving distraction with objective data, immersive experience, and in a safe environment.
