The AWD was intended to provide drivers with advance warning of an approaching on-call EV via visual and auditory warnings when the EV was within a 300- to 400-m radius. Background: Research suggests that drivers can experience difficulty accurately detecting the distance and direction of approaching on-call EV. In-vehicle technology has not previously been explored as a means of overcoming the limitations of existing EV lights and sirens and improving driver detection of EV. Method: An experimental study using an advanced driving simulator examined the effects of the AWD on driving performance in a range of circumstances in which real-world EV crashes and near-misses commonly occur. Each event contained a combination of scenario type (adjacent lane, turning across, car following) and warning condition (control, standard, advance). Results: Data from 22 participants were collected, including measures of speed, braking, and visual scanning. For adjacent-lane and turning-across events, the AWD was associated primarily with reductions in mean speed. The AWD resulted in an earlier lane change to clear a path for the EV in the car-following event. Conclusion: The reduction in speed observed was a positive finding, given the relationship between impact speed and injury severity. Response priming emerged as the mechanism underpinning these effects. Application: Response priming may result in safety benefits in other settings when an advisory warning is presented before the threat can be perceived. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1518\/001872008x250557","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,12]],"date-time":"2008-02-12T00:57:37Z","timestamp":1202777857000},"page":"135-144","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Detection of Emergency Vehicles: Driver Responses to Advance Warning in a Driving Simulator"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Michael G.","family":"Lenn\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Accident Research Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia,"}]},{"given":"Thomas J.","family":"Triggs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Accident Research Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}]},{"given":"Christine M.","family":"Mulvihill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Accident Research Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}]},{"given":"Michael A.","family":"Regan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Accident Research Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}]},{"given":"Bruce F.","family":"Corben","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University Accident Research Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aap.2005.07.004"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14640746708400102"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872088002200607"},{"key":"atypb4","first-page":"175","volume":"8","author":"Custalow, C.B.","year":"2004","journal-title":"Prehospital Emergency Care"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X00041030"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1076-898X.11.3.157"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00140130600589887"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/s15327108ijap0303_3"},{"key":"atypb9","volume-title":"Design and analysis: A researcher's handbook","author":"Keppel, G.","year":"1991","edition":"3"},{"key":"atypb10","unstructured":"Lee, J.D. & Kantowitz, B.H.
