Driving simulator technology provides a safe method for evaluating the impact of vision loss on different components of the driving task and the potential efficacy of visual aids intended to compensate for a particular type of vision loss. Most previous investigations have used general driving scenarios. It is proposed here that scenarios with different task requirements be designed specifically to address the condition under investigation. As an example, the design of driving scenarios and tasks that are specific for the evaluation of one type of visual field loss, homonymous hemianopia, is described. Results of pilot studies show that even with a small sample size, the design is sufficiently sensitive to differentiate individuals with hemianopic visual field loss from control drivers. These results suggest that careful design of test situations, measurements, and analyses provides a strong basis for investigations of driving performance of individuals with specific types of vision impairment and could be used to evaluate the efficacy of low-vision driving aids.
