Car traffic minutes is a popular radio show on the national radio channel Val 202, which enables spreading of automotive and traffic safety related information to a vast Slovenian audience. In this episode of the show the project leader, associate professor Jaka Sodnik, talked about NERVteh’s simulator and evaluation of drivers and driver’s skills. He discussed the possible ways of detecting safe drivers based on their psychophysiological response and behaviour. He also presented results of a small pilot study performed by the partners of this project. The intention of this interview was to raise public awareness about the importance of safe driving and the factors that influence it, which are also the main socioeconomic goals of this project.

This article tries to define the meaning of the term »driving simulator«, and what are driving simulators used for. NERVteh's CEO, Matej Vengust, defines it as a system for prevention, training and education in the field of traffic safety. Additionally, during training, drivers' responses during different dangerous situations such as high speed, use of mobile devices, icy roads, fog and similar, can be observed and monitored by using various biometric sensors. NERVteh simulator is also part of a project for driver evaluation, which includes Faculty of electrical engineering from University of Ljubljana and Insurance Company Triglav as partners. This is one of the latest projects for Triglav, with which they are trying to reduce the number of traffic accidents and increase driver safety with the use of different modern and high-tech solutions.
