Despite growing awareness of the human and social costs of road traffic incidents, training programmes for driving instructors often remain limited to procedural content, lacking transformative impact on attitudes and values. This study evaluates the long-term effectiveness of an educational model centred on attitudinal change, developed by the ERES’v research group at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Grounded in the upper levels of the Goals for Driver Education (GDE) matrix, the model was implemented in the official training programme for driving instructors in Catalonia, Spain.

A quasi-experimental longitudinal design was applied to an entire cohort (n = 48), with data collected at four time points: pre-test, post-test, and 6- and 48-month follow-ups. Two validated instruments (APRECONS and CPFV) measured predisposition to teach safe driving, beliefs about road risks, self-reported behaviours, and ethical commitments. Analyses included paired-samples t-tests, repeated measures ANOVA, Cochran’s Q, and McNemar’s test.

Results showed statistically significant and durable improvements in seven out of nine attitudinal dimensions, with notable gains in risk anticipation, emotional engagement with road safety, and long-term professional commitment. Although certain indicators declined slightly at six months, most stabilised or improved by the 48-month mark—indicating sustained internalisation.

These findings offer robust empirical support for integrating value-oriented, emotionally grounded educational models into instructor certification. The demonstrated impact over four years highlights the model’s potential to redefine the role of the driving instructor—not merely as a technical trainer, but as a socially engaged educator committed to the protection of life and promotion of ethical mobility.

尽管人们日益认识到道路交通事故对人类和社会造成的代价，但驾驶教员培训方案往往仍然局限于程序性内容，对态度和价值观缺乏变革的影响。这项研究评估了一种以态度改变为中心的教育模式的长期有效性，该模式是由巴塞罗那大学Autònoma的ERES研究小组开发的。该模型以驾驶员教育目标（GDE）矩阵的上层为基础，在西班牙加泰罗尼亚的驾驶教练官方培训计划中实施。准实验纵向设计应用于整个队列（n = 48），在四个时间点收集数据：测试前、测试后、6个月和48个月的随访。两个经过验证的工具（APRECONS和CPFV）测量了教授安全驾驶的倾向、对道路风险的信念、自我报告的行为和道德承诺。分析包括配对样本t检验、重复测量方差分析、科克伦Q检验和麦克尼马尔检验。结果显示，在9个态度维度中，有7个维度在统计上有显著和持久的改善，在风险预期、道路安全的情感投入和长期的职业承诺方面有显著的提高。虽然某些指标在6个月时略有下降，但大多数指标在48个月时企稳或有所改善，表明持续的内部化。这些发现为将以价值为导向、以情感为基础的教育模式整合到教师认证中提供了强有力的实证支持。四年来所展示的影响突出了该模式重新定义驾驶教练角色的潜力-不仅仅是作为技术培训师，而是作为致力于保护生命和促进道德流动的社会参与教育者。

With the growing popularity of electric bikes (e-bikes) in China, the rate of e-bike accidents is increasing, with distracted riding behavior identified as a key contributor to e-bike crashes. This study examines the psychological factors influencing e-bikers’ distracted riding behaviors (DRB) based on the extended theo-ry of planned behavior (TPB). A scale incorporating TPB constructs along with additional variables (risk perception and transportation environment) was developed to collect empirical data. Four hundred and twenty-three valid questionnaires were collected; subsequently, the reliability and validity of the scale were confirmed. Socio-demographic variations in distracted riding behaviors were assessed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Structural equation modeling (SEM) and mediation analysis were employed to examine the relationships between distracted riding behaviors and psychological factors. The results indi-cated that the extended TPB model effectively explained and predicted distracted riding behaviors and intentions among e-bikers. The influence of intentions, perceived behavioral control, transportation envi-ronment, risk perception, and attitudes on distracted riding behavior was significant, in descending order of effect, while subjective norms had no significant effect. The partial effect of perceived behavioral control on distracted riding behavior was mediated by intentions and risk perception. Moreover, risk per-ception had no significant direct effect on distracted riding behavior; rather, attitudes and intentions played a mediating role in the relationship between risk perception and distracted riding behavior. Addi-tionally, this study revealed the different influences of risk perception and perceived behavioral control on mobile phone-related and non-mobile phone-related distractions. These findings provide a theoretical basis and valuable insights for designing more effective interventions and safety education programs aimed at reducing e-bikers’ distracted riding behavior.

随着电动自行车（e-bike）在中国的日益普及，电动自行车事故的发生率正在上升，骑自行车时分心的行为被认为是导致电动自行车事故的主要原因。本研究基于扩展的计划行为理论（TPB），探讨了影响电动自行车驾驶者分心骑行行为的心理因素。为了收集经验数据，我们开发了一个包含TPB结构以及附加变量（风险感知和运输环境）的量表。共回收有效问卷423份；随后，对量表的信度和效度进行了验证。使用方差分析（ANOVA）评估分心驾驶行为的社会人口统计学差异。采用结构方程模型（SEM）和中介分析方法，研究了分心驾驶行为与心理因素之间的关系。结果表明，扩展的TPB模型能够有效地解释和预测电动自行车骑行者的分心行为和意图。意向、感知行为控制、交通环境、风险感知和态度对分心骑行行为的影响由大到小显著，主观规范对分心骑行行为的影响不显著。知觉行为控制对分心骑行行为的部分影响是由意图和风险知觉介导的。此外，风险知觉对分心骑行行为没有显著的直接影响；相反，态度和意图在风险感知和分心骑行行为之间的关系中起中介作用。此外，本研究还揭示了风险感知和感知行为控制对手机相关和非手机相关干扰的不同影响。这些发现为设计更有效的干预措施和安全教育计划提供了理论基础和有价值的见解，旨在减少电动自行车骑行者的分心行为。

The mobility sector is a major contributor to climate change, largely due to the high reliance on private cars. While urban areas are increasingly adopting policies and alternative mobility solutions to promote a reduction in car usage, alternatives are far more limited in rural regions, which remain heavily car-dependent. Hence, a deep understanding of mobility needs and attitudes in rural areas is needed to foster their transition towards sustainable transport solutions. Through a survey among 973 mobility users living in rural areas, this paper examines the relationship between current mobility patterns, attitudes, and needs in German-speaking rural Switzerland, focusing on car use reduction and the development of multi- and intermodal mobility options. Moreover, the Bamberg Stage Model is employed to investigate the factors influencing the reduction of car use at different decision-making stages. Our results indicate that cars are, as expected, the most commonly used mode of transport, followed by public transport, while the practice of combining multiple modes of transport (intermodality) remains very low. The findings show that improving public transport infrastructure, including longer operating hours and more frequent services, could promote inter- and multimodality and reduce car dependency. Moreover, we identify different strategies for reducing car use at different stages of behaviour change, highlighting the need for tailored interventions at each stage. These interventions include information campaigns to fill the knowledge gap about existing services and to emphasise biospheric values, which can motivate a shift towards more sustainable transportation choices.

交通部门是气候变化的主要原因，很大程度上是由于对私家车的高度依赖。虽然城市地区越来越多地采取政策和替代交通解决方案来促进减少汽车的使用，但在农村地区，替代方案要有限得多，农村地区仍然严重依赖汽车。因此，需要深入了解农村地区的交通需求和态度，以促进他们向可持续交通解决方案过渡。通过对973名生活在农村地区的出行用户的调查，本文研究了瑞士德语区农村当前出行模式、态度和需求之间的关系，重点关注汽车使用减少和多式联运出行选择的发展。此外，采用班贝格阶段模型研究了在不同决策阶段影响汽车使用减少的因素。我们的研究结果表明，正如预期的那样，汽车是最常用的交通方式，其次是公共交通，而结合多种交通方式（多式联运）的做法仍然非常少。研究结果表明，改善公共交通基础设施，包括延长运营时间和增加班次，可以促进多式联运，减少对汽车的依赖。此外，我们确定了在行为改变的不同阶段减少汽车使用的不同策略，强调了在每个阶段量身定制干预措施的必要性。这些干预措施包括宣传活动，以填补有关现有服务的知识空白，并强调生物圈价值，这可以激励人们转向更可持续的交通选择。

Conditionally automated vehicles (AVs) allow drivers to divert their attention from the road under specific conditions defined by the Operational Design Domain (ODD) but require drivers to resume manual control when approaching the ODD boundary. In such scheduled takeover scenarios, drivers are afforded more time to restore situation awareness and manage the takeover task at their own pace. This study focuses on a typical ODD exit scenario—freeway exits—and investigates the effectiveness of a multistage takeover request (ToR) design comprising three stages: information, warning, and command. A driving simulator experiment involving 32 participants evaluated how ToR presence (single-stage vs. multistage) and modality (semantic speech, dynamic visuals, or both) affected the takeover process, including takeover strategy, pre-takeover situation awareness, post-takeover vehicle control performance, and subjective evaluations. Results showed that multistage ToR designs significantly improved behavioral performance, including faster eyes-on-road and takeover responses, shorter preparation times, and enhanced perceptual and cognitive preparedness. These designs also enhanced user experience, particularly by increasing trust and reducing mental workload. The performance benefits were most pronounced for female drivers and for those who delayed initiating their takeover response until the command stage. These findings highlight the value of incorporating structured, multimodal ToR designs for scheduled takeover scenarios, and support the development of adaptive systems tailored to individual differences in driver response tyle and characteristics.

有条件自动驾驶汽车（AVs）允许驾驶员在操作设计域（ODD）定义的特定条件下将注意力从道路上转移，但在接近ODD边界时要求驾驶员恢复手动控制。在这种预定接管场景中，司机有更多的时间来恢复情况感知，并按照自己的节奏管理接管任务。本研究的重点是典型的ODD出口场景——高速公路出口，并研究了由三个阶段组成的多阶段接管请求（ToR）设计的有效性：信息、警告和命令。一项涉及32名参与者的驾驶模拟器实验评估了ToR的存在（单阶段与多阶段）和形态（语义语音、动态视觉或两者兼而有之）如何影响接管过程，包括接管策略、接管前情境意识、接管后车辆控制性能和主观评价。结果表明，多阶段ToR设计显著提高了行为表现，包括更快的注视和接管反应，更短的准备时间，增强了感知和认知准备。这些设计还增强了用户体验，特别是通过增加信任和减少心理工作量。对于女性司机和那些将接管反应推迟到命令阶段的人来说，性能上的好处最为明显。这些发现强调了将结构化的、多模式的ToR设计纳入预定接管方案的价值，并支持了针对驾驶员反应类型和特征的个体差异量身定制的自适应系统的开发。

Environmental factors such as temperature and carbon dioxide concentration have been widely studied for their effects on cognitive and physical performance. However, their impact on takeover performance in the context of driving automation remains underexplored. This study investigated how temperature and carbon dioxide concentration influence drivers’ takeover performance in conditional automated driving. Using a driving simulator, the experimental setup simulated modern vehicle cabin conditions, with three levels of temperatures (i.e., slightly cool, neutral and slightly warm) and two realistic carbon dioxide concentrations (i.e., high level, corresponding to recirculation ventilation and low level, corresponding to outside air ventilation). In total, 60 gender-balanced drivers participated in the study and a between-subjects experiment design (temperature and carbon dioxide concentration) was adopted. Each participant experienced three types of typical takeover scenarios, as initiated by visual and auditory takeover requests in a vehicle with conditional driving automation. The results showed that a slightly cool temperature and high carbon dioxide concentration negatively affected longitudinal speed control, while a slightly warm temperature resulted in quicker takeover actions and more stable lateral control. The analyses of gaze-related metrics suggested that elevated carbon dioxide concentrations may increase fatigue, while slightly cool temperatures appeared to reduce fatigue, leading to faster on-road attention. Finally, high carbon dioxide can counteract the favorable effects of temperature at the cognitive level. This study provides insights into the design of cabin environment control to improve driving safety in the context of driving automation.

温度和二氧化碳浓度等环境因素对认知和身体表现的影响已被广泛研究。然而，在推动自动化的背景下，它们对收购绩效的影响仍未得到充分探讨。本研究考察了温度和二氧化碳浓度对有条件自动驾驶中驾驶员接管行为的影响。利用驾驶模拟器，实验装置模拟了现代汽车舱室条件，具有三个温度水平（微冷、中性和微暖）和两个真实的二氧化碳浓度（高水平，对应于再循环通风和低水平，对应于室外通风）。共有60名性别平衡的司机参与了研究，采用受试者间实验设计（温度和二氧化碳浓度）。每个参与者都经历了三种典型的接管场景，分别是由有条件自动驾驶车辆中的视觉和听觉接管请求发起的。结果表明，较低的温度和较高的二氧化碳浓度会对纵向速度控制产生不利影响，而较热的温度会使接管动作更快，横向控制更稳定。对凝视相关指标的分析表明，二氧化碳浓度升高可能会增加疲劳，而稍微凉爽的温度似乎会减轻疲劳，从而使人们更快地集中注意力。最后，在认知水平上，高二氧化碳可以抵消温度的有利影响。本研究可为驾驶自动化背景下的车内环境控制设计提供参考，以提高驾驶安全性。

Multi-factor cognitive analysis of human interaction with a conditionally automated vehicle 人与有条件自动驾驶车辆交互的多因素认知分析

Human-automation interaction during conditionally-automated driving can be enhanced using human cognition models in the design and operation of the automation. While human trust is a dominant dynamic factor that influences reliance on the automation, researchers have acknowledged that users’ mental workload, risk perception, and self-confidence can also influence the relationship between user trust in the automation and reliance. However, existing studies only examine these factors at most two at a time using an event-based or trial-based experiment–thus limiting the ability to observe the cognitive factors as coupled dynamic variables. To address these gaps, we design and conduct a novel experiment to elicit changes in four cognitive factors while human drivers interact in a continuous drive in a SAE Level 3 vehicle. We manipulate four independent variables (three automation-related and one environmental factor) in our non-event based experiment to enable human cognitive factor analysis throughout their interaction with the automated vehicle during realistic-driving scenarios. We collect data from 37 participants and validate our experiment by testing hypotheses derived from prior foundational work. Results show that our experiment stimulates changes in three cognitive factors—trust, workload, and risk perception—and all three correlate with user reliance on the automation. By virtue of our experiment design, we also demonstrate the effects of interacting stimuli as well as the existence of residual effects of drivers’ initial interactions with the automation. Finally, we find that psychophysiological and behavioral measurements capture changes not reflected in subjective measurements, underscoring the value of collecting multi-modal data for analyzing human cognition.

在条件自动驾驶的设计和操作中，可以利用人类认知模型来增强人与自动驾驶的交互。虽然人的信任是影响自动化依赖的主要动态因素，但研究者已经认识到用户的心理负荷、风险感知和自信也会影响自动化中用户信任与依赖的关系。然而，现有的研究一次最多只能使用基于事件或基于试验的实验来检查这些因素，从而限制了将认知因素作为耦合动态变量观察的能力。为了解决这些问题，我们设计并进行了一项新颖的实验，以了解人类驾驶员在SAE 3级车辆的连续驾驶中相互作用时四个认知因素的变化。在我们的非事件实验中，我们操纵了四个独立变量（三个与自动化相关的因素和一个环境因素），以便在现实驾驶场景中，在与自动驾驶车辆的交互过程中，实现人类认知因素分析。我们收集了37名参与者的数据，并通过测试先前基础工作得出的假设来验证我们的实验。结果表明，我们的实验刺激了三个认知因素的变化——信任、工作量和风险感知——这三个因素都与用户对自动化的依赖相关。通过我们的实验设计，我们还证明了交互刺激的影响以及驾驶员与自动化初始交互的残余效应的存在。最后，我们发现心理生理和行为测量捕捉到主观测量中没有反映的变化，强调了收集多模态数据分析人类认知的价值。

We collect data from 37 participants and validate our experiment by testing hypotheses derived from prior foundational work. Results show that our experiment stimulates changes in three cognitive factors—trust, workload, and risk perception—and all three correlate with user reliance on the automation. By virtue of our experiment design, we also demonstrate the effects of interacting stimuli as well as the existence of residual effects of drivers’ initial interactions with the automation. Finally, we find that psychophysiological and behavioral measurements capture changes not reflected in subjective measurements, underscoring the value of collecting multi-modal data for analyzing human cognition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 103469"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145746936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study focuses on the investigation of the relations between self-reported aberrant and risky driving behaviors on the one hand and simulated driving performance on the other. We collected self-reported measures of driving style through the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) and the Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI). We observed simulated driving performance through a low-fidelity driving simulator, the Honda Riding Trainer, and a higher-fidelity driving simulator, the Lander simulator. The final aim was to verify the coherence of the measurements obtained by the two simulators in identifying driving styles as measured by means of two self-report questionnaires. We carried out the experiment on an Italian sample of 85 participants aged between 19 and 32. The results showed that the relations between the measures provided by the two questionnaires are robust and positive, confirming the literature findings. Additionally, the relations between the driving variables provided by the two simulators are moderate and positive, suggesting that both simulators permit the identification of unsafe simulated driving behaviors, even though the simulators’ fidelity differs. Finally, the relations observed between self-reported driving styles and simulated driving behaviors indicate that the DDDI predicts longitudinal speed control and speed violations in both simulators, whereas the DBQ predicts mainly longitudinal speed control in the HRT task and lateral speed control in the Lander task. Moreover, both simulators seem able to discriminate between different driving styles with reference to speed control and speed limit violations. The availability of multiple tools for assessing driving style broadens the scope for developing effective interventions to foster road safety.

本研究旨在探讨自述异常和危险驾驶行为与模拟驾驶表现之间的关系。我们通过驾驶行为问卷（DBQ）和杜拉危险驾驶指数（DDDI）收集了驾驶风格的自述测量。我们通过低保真度驾驶模拟器本田骑行教练和高保真度驾驶模拟器Lander模拟器观察模拟驾驶性能。最终目的是验证两个模拟器在识别驾驶风格方面获得的测量结果的一致性，这些测量结果是通过两个自我报告问卷来确定的。我们对85名年龄在19到32岁之间的意大利人进行了实验。结果表明，两份问卷所提供的措施之间的关系是稳健的，正相关的，证实了文献的发现。此外，两个模拟器提供的驾驶变量之间的关系是中等和正的，这表明两个模拟器都允许识别不安全的模拟驾驶行为，即使模拟器的保真度不同。最后，自述驾驶风格与模拟驾驶行为之间的关系表明，DDDI预测了两个模拟器中纵向速度控制和速度违规行为，而DBQ主要预测HRT任务中的纵向速度控制和着陆器任务中的横向速度控制。此外，这两个模拟器似乎能够区分不同的驾驶风格，参考速度控制和速度限制违规。评估驾驶方式的多种工具的可用性扩大了制定有效干预措施以促进道路安全的范围。

Visual scanning of the driving environment is a key component in driving. In conditional automation, the vehicle is usually steered by automation, but drivers may be required to take control of the vehicle in certain circumstances. In these takeover situations (TO), visual exploration of the environment is critical for resuming manual control. This study aimed to compare visual explorations over time during TO preparation and actual TO between experienced and non-experienced drivers. Twenty-five participants completed three simulated drives, each comprising three TO maneuvers. Visual strategies were measured by the percentage of gaze time allocated to areas of interest (AOIs) and further characterised through visual exploration sequences (scanpaths) during TO preparation and actual TO. The results indicated that experienced drivers gazed more at the road area in which the vehicle would be located at the time of effective TO than non-experienced drivers. Similarly, immediately after resuming manual control, experienced drivers gazed more at areas where potential hazards may be present than non-experienced drivers. Three main scanpath classes were identified during TO preparation: anticipation of trajectory control, anticipation of speed control, and environment exploration. During subsequent manual driving, two scanpath classes emerged: speed control and trajectory control. These findings are discussed in terms of differences in visual strategies between non-experienced and experienced drivers, shaped by situational context. Functionally classifying visual exploration sequences provides insight into TO processes and offers a promising link to drivers’ situation awareness and performance.

对驾驶环境的视觉扫描是驾驶中的一个关键组成部分。在条件自动化中，车辆通常由自动化控制，但在某些情况下可能需要驾驶员控制车辆。在这些接管情况（TO）中，对环境的视觉探索对于恢复手动控制至关重要。本研究的目的是比较有经验和没有经验的司机在准备到车和实际到车期间的视觉探索。25名参与者完成了三个模拟驾驶，每个模拟驾驶包括三个TO机动。视觉策略通过分配给感兴趣区域（aoi）的凝视时间百分比来衡量，并通过视觉探索序列（扫描路径）在to准备和实际to期间进一步表征。结果表明，经验丰富的驾驶员比没有经验的驾驶员在有效TO时更多地注视车辆所在的道路区域。同样，在恢复手动控制后，有经验的驾驶员会比没有经验的驾驶员更关注可能存在潜在危险的区域。在TO准备过程中，确定了三种主要的扫描路径类型：轨迹控制预测、速度控制预测和环境探索。在随后的手动驾驶中，出现了两种扫描路径：速度控制和轨迹控制。这些发现被讨论在视觉策略方面的差异，在没有经验的和有经验的司机之间，由情景背景形成。对视觉探索序列进行功能分类，可以深入了解TO过程，并为驾驶员的情况感知和性能提供了有希望的联系。

Almost all cyclists violate some traffic rules with varying frequencies; however, there are few direct assessments of their reasons and motivations for these infringements. If we want to tackle traffic rule violations by cyclists as a source of conflict and contra-cycling attitudes, a more complete understanding of the reasons underlying these violations is required.

This research is based on a non-representative, web-based inquiry consisting of about 5,800 contributions from road users about traffic situations described as dangerous, confusing, or a nuisance. Contributions were manually coded for the transportation modes of perpetrator(s), victim(s), and the violated rule. Regarding the described or assumed reasons, the classification system of human errors by Reasons was used to differentiate between mistakes, slips and lapses, and routine as well as situational violations.

A total of 717 violations committed by cyclists and 1,795 violations committed against cyclists were identified. About half of the contributions expressed or assumed reasons for the described rule violation, only a fraction of which was attributed to recklessness. A noticeable proportion of rule violations by cyclists were attributed to situational factors, suggesting that rule infringements occur because cyclists feel that (i) they have no other choice, (ii) observing the rule is too dangerous, or (iii) traffic regulations are unclear or absent. In order to reduce the rule violations by cyclists as well as their conflicts with other road users, the traffic systems need to be designed such that cyclists do not feel that their most reasonable option is to commit these rule violations.

几乎所有骑自行车的人都不同程度地违反了一些交通规则；然而，对这些侵权行为的原因和动机的直接评估却很少。如果我们想解决骑自行车者违反交通规则的问题，将其作为冲突和反骑自行车态度的根源，就需要更全面地了解这些违规行为的原因。这项研究是基于一个非代表性的、基于网络的调查，该调查由大约5800名道路使用者提供的关于危险、令人困惑或令人讨厌的交通状况的信息组成。贡献是根据肇事者、受害者和违反规则的运输方式手工编码的。对于所描述或假设的原因，通过reasons对人为错误的分类系统来区分错误、过失和常规以及情景违规。共发现717起骑自行车者违规行为和1795起针对骑自行车者的违规行为。大约一半的贡献表达或假设了所描述的违反规则的原因，其中只有一小部分归因于鲁莽。骑车者的违规行为中有相当一部分归因于情境因素，这表明骑车者认为(i)他们别无选择，（ii）遵守规则太危险，或（iii）交通规则不明确或缺失。为了减少骑自行车的人违反规则以及他们与其他道路使用者的冲突，交通系统的设计需要使骑自行车的人不会觉得他们最合理的选择是违反规则。

Accompanying novice drivers from a distance – The views of parents and novice drivers following an initial experience 从远处陪伴新手司机-父母和新手司机在初次体验后的看法

Novice drivers (NDs) face elevated crash risk, particularly during their first months of solo driving. Parental accompanying is a widely endorsed method for mitigating this risk. Yet, many parents struggle to allocate sufficient time for accompaniment, and NDs frequently report elevated tension when driving with their parents. To address these challenges, we introduce remote accompaniment − a “Zoom-like” technology that enables accompaniment from a distance in real time.

This study examined parent and ND perspectives on: (1) remote accompaniment usefulness, safety, and tension; (2) comparisons with conventional (in-person) accompaniment; and (3) the potential increase of accompanied driving utilizing the remote accompaniment.

We invited 41 parent–ND pairs to experience both conventional and remote accompaniment drives. Following these experiences, participants completed self-report measures assessing perceived usefulness, safety, and attitudes toward each accompaniment method.

Parents and NDs rated conventional and remote accompaniment as useful, with mean scores approximating 4 on a 5-point scale. Parents rated remote accompaniment as less safe than conventional accompaniment, though the mean safety rating remained above the scale’s neutral midpoint. In contrast, NDs perceived both methods as equally safe. Concerning tension, parents and NDs indicated minimal tension during both accompaniment methods. Importantly, both parents and NDs indicated their intent to increase accompanied driving using the remote system.

In conclusion, remote accompaniment may present a promising approach for accompanied driving, and both parents and NDs find it useful and ready to adopt it in practice. However, successful implementation will need to address parents’ safety concerns.

新手司机（NDs）面临着更高的撞车风险，尤其是在他们独自驾驶的头几个月。父母陪伴是一种被广泛认可的减轻这种风险的方法。然而，许多父母很难分配足够的陪伴时间，NDs经常报告说，当他们和父母一起开车时，紧张情绪会加剧。为了应对这些挑战，我们引入了远程伴奏——一种“变焦”技术，可以从远处实时伴奏。本研究考察了家长和家长对以下方面的看法：(1)远程陪伴的有效性、安全性和紧张程度；(2)与传统（面对面）陪伴的比较；(3)利用远程陪驾的陪驾潜力增加。我们邀请了41对父母和孩子来体验传统和远程陪伴驾驶。在这些经历之后，参与者完成了自我报告测量，评估感知有用性、安全性和对每种陪伴方法的态度。家长和非家长认为传统和远程陪伴是有用的，在5分制中平均得分接近4分。家长们认为远程陪伴比传统陪伴更不安全，尽管平均安全等级仍然高于量表的中点。相反，ndds认为这两种方法同样安全。在紧张方面，父母和NDs在两种陪伴方法中都表现出最小的紧张。重要的是，父母和NDs都表示他们打算增加使用远程系统的陪伴驾驶。综上所述，远程陪伴可能为陪伴驾驶提供了一种很有前途的方法，父母和NDs都认为它很有用，并准备在实践中采用它。然而，成功的实施需要解决家长的安全问题。
