Tractor Driver Training: Creating a Hazard Perception VR Course for Agricultural Colleges

The aim of this project is to improve the higher-order driving skills of young tractor drivers, to reduce their crash risk and save lives on the road by developing a course using virtual reality hazard perception materials. The project will hopefully result in a course that demonstrably improves hazard perception skills and knowledge in young tractor drivers, which can then be rolled out to agricultural colleges across the UK.

It will also develop a ‘near miss’ app for MMD users.
