Project summary

Nottingham Trent University is collaborating with UKROEd to assess the hypothesis that riders and drivers have different mental models of on-road danger and this impacts their ability to spot hazards on the road.

The project also explores whether understanding these differences in mental models can change attitudes between riders and drivers. Findings will help support behaviour change via a new NDORS’ National Rider Risk Awareness Course.
