This paper presents the results of an experimental study on designing for self-efficacy in a game based driving simulator. Self-efficacy refers to how peoplepsilas beliefs in their capabilities affect their actions. The results show that the design of the feedback system can be used to increase self-efficacy measures thus affecting performance in a driving simulator environment. Self-efficacy has...

Providing motorists with real time roadway conditions is essential to mitigating traffic congestion. We propose a novel real-time messaging system that can be used to communicate imminent traffic conditions to motorists. Having such information can allow...
