Results

Although the brain-injured drivers used a compensatory strategy of reducing speed, the driving behavior of the brain-injured drivers was characterized by frequent lane changes and emergency braking in situations involving other vehicles, which tended to result in unsafe vehicle behavior. It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the driving behavior of brain-injured patients, including their driving behavior in a traffic environment that requires coordination with other vehicles.

Baseline Characteristics

Brain-injured 26 persons, average age 45.3 years, 23 males, 3 females
23 normal subjects, average age 41.5 years, 16 males and 7 females

Participant flow

Interventions and analyses were conducted on 26 eligible brain-injured subjects and 23 general healthy subjects.

Adverse events

none

Outcome measures

Basic information on driving
Brain-injured subjects had an average of 3.2 violations, which was significantly higher than that of normal subjects (average 1.2 violations). The total weekly driving distance of the brain-injured subjects (mean: 268.3 km +- 504.9 km) was significantly longer than that of normal subjects (mean: 30.1 km +- 27.5 km). Brain-injured subjects had significantly lower MMSE total scores and significantly longer TMT-B times than normal subjects.

Average running speed Average driving speed
The mean driving speed of the brain-injured subjects (mean: 31.7 +- 1.6 km/h, median: 31.9 km/h) was significantly slower than that of the normal subjects (mean: 32.8 +- 1.9 km/h, median: 33.8 km/h) during the actual driving evaluation (p=0.035, r=0.30).

Occurrence of attentional behavior
A total of 19 cases (10 subjects) of attention behavior occurred in the brain-injured subjects. The behaviors were abrupt braking (9 cases, 6 subjects), right/left turn (5 cases, 3 subjects), curve operation (4 cases, 4 subjects), and driving habit/axel (1 case, 1 subject).  Twenty-six cases (14 subjects) of cautionary behavior were observed among the normal subjects. The behaviors were abrupt braking (11 cases, 10 subjects), right/left turn (11 cases, 5 subjects), and curve operation (4 cases, 3 subjects).

Situations in which cautionary behavior occurred Situations in which cautionary behavior occurred
The videos of scenes in which attention behaviors occurred were qualitatively analyzed, and were classified into three types of scenes: (1) scenes in which the subject's own vehicle alone was involved in starting and speeding, (2) scenes involving other vehicles such as changing lanes, and (3) scenes related to responding to traffic signals. Brain-injured subjects were involved in 10 cases (52.6%) involving their own vehicle alone, 6 cases (31.6%) involving other vehicles, and 3 cases (15.8%) involving traffic signals, while healthy subjects were involved in 20 cases (76.9%), 1 case (3.8%), and 5 cases (19.2%), respectively. While most of the alert behaviors of the healthy subjects were caused by overspeeding of their own vehicle alone, those with brain injuries had significantly higher rates of alert behaviors in situations involving other vehicles, such as lane changes (p = 0.039, r = 0.36).

The results of this study were as follows. Driving Diagnostic Score
There were no significant differences between brain-injured subjects and normal subjects in all items of the driving assessment and in the total score.

Driving Assessment Scale
In the DAS, brain-injured subjects scored significantly lower than normal subjects on the item "checking for other vehicles at the right time and in the right way" at intersections and at traffic signs. On the other hand, brain-injured subjects scored significantly higher than normal subjects in the items of "maintain speed" when changing course and "safely back up" when parking. There were no significant differences between the two groups in driving, driving attitude, judgment, and total score.
