TY - Type of reference TI - Risk and its subjective assessment by the driver: A historical review AU - Jonathan Deniel AU - Jean-Charles Bornard AU - Lucie Lévêque AU - Bernard Claverie AU - Thierry Bellet AB - Risk is a very common notion : we use it in our everyday life and frequently assess it without thinking. For instance, when driving a car, one constantly evaluates risk and uses this - somewhat obvious - estimation to decide upon actions to be taken. Most of the time, humans are not even fully aware of that risk assessment process, and rarely wonder about it ; this is what will be explored in this article. What is risk? Where does this notion come from ? What are current conceptions about the subjective risk assessment when behind the steering wheel ? First, we will focus on the very general notion of risk and its history. Then, some time will be spent on the notion of subjective risk assessment (i.e., risk perception). Finally, we will delve into the scientific approach of driver’s subjective risk assessment, with a review of the main theories and models about assumed driver’s cognitive processes when evaluating risks.
