Evaluation of safe driving in a driving simulator

Cilj magistrskega dela je analizirati uporabnikovo vožnjo in jo oceniti s pomočjo simulatorja ter opazovati tudi vpliv prostoročnega telefoniranja na vožnjo. Opazovali in beležili smo povprečno normirano vrednost prekoračene hitrosti, povprečni normirani pospešek, povprečni normirani bočni odmik in povprečno normirano varnostno razdaljo. Izvedli smo dve testiranji z večjim številom uporabnikov. Prvo testiranje je bilo namenjeno okvirni postavitvi meril za ocenjevanje, v drugem pa smo opazovali vpliv uporabe mobilnega telefona med vožnjo. Na podlagi pridobljenih rezultatov smo predlagali mejne vrednosti posameznih parametrov, na podlagi katerih lahko voznike razporedimo v več varnostnih razredov. Uporaba mobilnega telefona med vožnjo se je izkazala za motečo in se odrazila v slabših ocenah vožnje pri večini uporabnikov.The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the user’s driving and evaluate it with the aid of a driving simulator and to observe the impact of hands-free telephone conversations on the user\u27s driving. We observed and recorded the average normalized exceeded speed value, average normalized acceleration, average normalized lateral deviation, and the average normalized safety distance.We conducted two tests with a large number of participants. The first test was aimed at establishing indicative evaluation criteria, and on the second test we observed the effect of a hands-free mobile phone on the driving experience. Based on the gathered results, we proposed limiting values for each parameter, on the basis of which we can divide the drivers into several safety classes. The use of mobile phones when driving, showed to be disruptive and was reflected in the lower driving grades of most participants
