The perception of road curves by car drivers was studied in a simulated driving situation. The purpose was to investigate how planting structures along the road would affect the distance at which the curve was clearly perceived by novices and by experienced subjects, respectively. Subjects rated the clarity of the curve percept in different situations on a nominal scale from 1 to 7. Estimations were made under static conditions at the distances 0 m, 100 m, and 200 m before the beginning of the curve. The critical point for a clear percept was found to be at 100 m for novices and at 200 m for experienced drivers. The planting conditions made no difference.

The AAA program known as ‘driver-ZED’ (Zero Errors Driving) addresses the issue of hazard recognition and risk-taking during driving. Via CD-ROM, teens are presented with a multitude of real world driving situations that would otherwise take many hours behind the wheel to experience. The program employs myriad short driving sequences of varying level of difficulty and focus. In each sequence the user is presented with a realistic view of the road ahead including the concurrent views from the rear and left side mirror. Each sequence is precisely arranged and shot from a vehicle that has been specially rigged with multiple motion cameras. These multiple real worldviews are then digitally combined with a photorealistic graphic showing the view of the dash and windshield from the driver's seat. In this way a realistic view of the road from the driver's seat is created while at the same time allowing computer control of items on the dash such as the speedometer and other gauges. As the driving situation warrants, the users can also look right or left or over their shoulder and passengers can even be dad to provide further distractions or deliver feedback.
