We will simulate a driver in a specific traffic scenario and the visualization of surrounding traffic. We will then collect data, evaluate and discuss the results. The information collected can then also help specialists like traffic engineers to investigate traffic situations that depend on the interaction between a driver and other objects in the environment. In our study, we
