Paper Abstract:
|
The training of non-technical skills has proved a highly valuable addition to the improvement of human performance in a wide variety of dynamic and complex situations such as aviation and emergency medicine. Cognitive skills are essential in those situations that require human experts to cope with time pressure, information overload and fast-paced safety-critical decisions. In the context of emergency vehicle driving, for instance, one key cognitive skill is hazard perception described by many, as situation awareness for dangerous situations in the driving scene. Hazard perception can be assessed using an embedded measure known as the hazard perception test (HPT, e.g. McKenna & Crick, 1991). This test provides an objective measure of drivers anticipation of video-presented traffic hazards. Performance at the HPT has been found to correlate negatively with accident involvement and is related to driving performance. Based on these observations, one could argue that providing easily accessible training for hazard perception would be beneficial for road safety, especially in the context of emergency vehicle driving. The objective of this work is to develop an e-learning platform for training non-technical cognitive skills related to hazard perception that are involved in the safe driving of emergency vehicles. |
