As a preliminary step, we developed a VR-based simulator that replicates emergency driving scenarios, in consultation with firefighters. Drivers with varied levels of experience and skill in emergency driving executed emergency driving maneuvers using this VR simulator, during which the system recorded their behaviors, including eye movement, head orientation, throttle and brake positions, and steering angle. Our analysis revealed distinct behavioral differences based on experience and skill; for example, professional firefighters repeatedly decelerated, briefly stopped, and checked both left and right sides before entering the intersection.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Software and its engineering → Virtual worlds training simulations; Human-centered computing → Virtual realitySoftware and its engineering → Virtual worlds training simulationsHumancentered computing → Virtual realityPreliminary Analysis of Emergency Vehicle Driving Behavior in Traffic Signal Violation Scenarios using a VR Simulator10.2312/egve.202413645 pages
