Driving simulators have become widely used tools for examining the impact of driver behaviour with respect to individual driver differences or road layout by offering a safe, realistic, and controlled environment. In this research, a driving simulator experimental design is provided for testing the main risk factors defined within the i-DREAMS project. The overall objective is a detailed description of the risk scenarios for car drivers which were designed for three risk factors [i.e., tailgating, illegal overtaking, collisions with vulnerable road users (VRUs)] and two additional conditions [i.e., driver distraction and adverse weather conditions]. Accordingly, three different scenarios were designed: 1) drive-1: monitoring scenario with no intervention, 2) drive-2: scenario with driver-state independent intervention, 3) drive-3: scenario with driver-state dependent intervention. Proposed real-time interventions aim to investigate dynamic thresholds (variable-timing thresholds) that can be adapted based on scenario conditions (distraction, weather). Developed scenarios will be tested to assess the performance of the i-DREAMS system in developing a safety tolerance zone for monitoring and intervention.
