The Human Factors and Statistical Modeling Lab (HFSM) at the University of Washington is recruiting participants for a driving simulator study.

Who we are
The team includes researchers from the Honda Research Institute and the Human Factors and Statistical Modeling Lab (HFSM) at the University of Washington.

Study overview
In this study, you will use a driving simulator for various scenarios and answer questions based on your driving experience. Our goal is to learn drivers’ situation awareness in various environments.

Eligibility

  • Have a valid US driver’s license for more than one year
  • Drive at least 3,000 miles per year
  • Be fluent in English
  • Feel comfortable with using an eye tracker (which captures your eye movements)

  • Have not participated in a driving simulator study during the past 6 months.

Compensation
$25 per hour for your time. The study will be about 2 hours. The payment will be provided in the form of a Tango gift card. If you drive to campus, we will also provide you with parking validation.
