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.
Nottingham Trent University (in collaboration with Surewise Insurers)
Motorised Mobility Devices (MMDs): Incidents, Near Misses and Safety
This project aims to improve safety for users of MMDs (motorised mobility devices including mobility scooters and power chairs) by significantly expanding the information we have on MMD safety, analysing incident and ‘near miss’ data and bringing it together with existing work on the hazards MMD users face at road crossings. It will also develop a ‘near miss’ app for MMD users.

Disqualified driver innovation: improving road safety through electronic monitoring technology
The project aimed to develop effective technology that could, in due course, deter persistent disqualified drivers from reoffending using new electronic monitoring technology.
Nottingham Trent University
Assessing the potential of driver awareness and emotional regulation training in improving road safety
Funding was awarded to Nottingham Trent University to research and develop a novel training intervention designed to improve driver safety.
Nottingham Trent University
Mobility scooter user behaviour and hazard perception at road crossings
The project explored what Motorised Mobility Scooter (MMS) users see as hazards and then, by recording real time footage, assessed the strategies used by expert users to avoid hazards when crossing roads.
