Abstract:Objective: This study has for objective to identify if it is possible to calculate learning curves from data sets obtained from driving simulators and if there is transfer from online driving simulators to on the road driving. Proving transfer will demonstrate learning effectiveness of online simulators, enabling a safer and more cost effective driving learning experience. Method: This study was divided into three parts, in which data sets from different experiments were analyzed and learning curves were calculated. The first data set included results from students that performed the online driving simulator lessons from the company Green Dino, this was an uncontrolled data set. The second data set contained semi-controlled data set and it was performed in an online driving simulator. Finally, the controlled data set consisted of participants performing trials on a physical driving simulator. A learning curve model was created and the results were analyzed according to the variables that each data set contained. Results: Learning curves from physical and online driving simulators from semi-controlled and controlled experiments data sets can be observed, including transfer from experienced drivers. In this particular study, there was no success in calculating learning curves from an uncontrolled data set, however, recommendations for better data acquisition were made.
