Model-Based Prediction of Operation Consequences When Driving a Car to Compensate for a Partially Restricted Visual Field by A-Pillars

The partial restriction of a driver’s visual field by the physical structure of the car (e.g., the A-pillar) can lead to unsafe situations where steering performance is degraded. Drivers require both environmental information and visual feedback regarding operation consequences. When driving with a...

Drivers require both environmental information and visual feedback regarding operation consequences. When driving with a partially restricted visual field, and thus restricted visual feedback, drivers may predict operation consequences using a previously acquired internal model of a car. To investigate this hypothesis, we conducted a tracking and driving task in which visual information was restricted to varying degrees. In the tracking task, participants tracked a moving target on a computer screen with visible and invisible cursors. In the driving task, they drove a real car with or without the ability to see the distant parts of a visual field. Consequently, we found that the decrease in tracking performance induced by visual feedback restriction predicted the decrease in steering smoothness induced by visual field restriction, suggesting that model-based prediction was used in both tasks. These findings indicate that laboratory-based task performance can be used to identify drivers with low model-based prediction ability whose driving behavior is less optimal in restricted vision scenarios, even before they obtain a driver’s license. However, further studies are required to examine the underlying neural mechanisms and to establish the generalizability of these findings to more realistic settings.Sayako UedaToshihisa SatoTakatsune KumadaTakatsune KumadaFrontiers Media S.A.articlemodel-based predictionvisual field restrictionvisual feedback restrictiondrivingvisuomotor tracking taskNeurosciences.

description	The partial restriction of a driver’s visual field by the physical structure of the car (e.g., the A-pillar) can lead to unsafe situations where steering performance is degraded. Drivers require both environmental information and visual feedback regarding operation consequences. When driving with a partially restricted visual field, and thus restricted visual feedback, drivers may predict operation consequences using a previously acquired internal model of a car. To investigate this hypothesis, we conducted a tracking and driving task in which visual information was restricted to varying degrees. In the tracking task, participants tracked a moving target on a computer screen with visible and invisible cursors. In the driving task, they drove a real car with or without the ability to see the distant parts of a visual field. Consequently, we found that the decrease in tracking performance induced by visual feedback restriction predicted the decrease in steering smoothness induced by visual field restriction, suggesting that model-based prediction was used in both tasks. These findings indicate that laboratory-based task performance can be used to identify drivers with low model-based prediction ability whose driving behavior is less optimal in restricted vision scenarios, even before they obtain a driver’s license. However, further studies are required to examine the underlying neural mechanisms and to establish the generalizability of these findings to more realistic settings.
