Objective: The present study was conducted to evaluate previous studies on hazard perception among road users.Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted using electronic databases and search engines includingScience Direct, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Iranmedex, SID, Irandoc, and Google Scholar fromJanuary 2000 to September 2021. The search was performed using a combination of medical subject headingterms and keywords. Endnote software version 20.0 (Clarivate, Philadelphia, PA, USA) was used to organizethe included articles. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze the findings. The entire review processwas conducted by two authors, and unresolved challenges were discussed with other researchers.Results: Findings of the study show that all of the tests could discriminate between inexperienced andexperienced drivers. The use of dynamic hazard perception tests was more common than static tests, and insome cases, simulators were used. Moreover, the results indicated a weak correlation between the results ofdynamic and static tests. Therefore, it could be claimed that both dynamic and static methods measured certaindimensions of hazard perception.Conclusion: Regarding the importance of hazard perception, the findings of this study can provide furtherprogress in designing hazard perception tests. The hazard perception tests can be sensitive to cultural or legaldifferences. It should also be noted that in developing tools for measuring drivers’ hazard perception, differentdimensions of hazard perception must be considered, so that the level of drivers’ hazard perception can bereported accurately.

Objective: To estimate the rate of driving hazard perception (HP), explicate the content of HP and determineits components.Methods: The present study is a systematic review and a meta-analysis which is carried out to gather data,to search Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, PROQUEST, web of knowledge databases, Google scholar searchengine and also to search manually from January 2000 to September 2021 with using related keywords. EndNoteX20 software was used to manage and screening studies. Stata16 was used for meta-analysis. Thematic contentanalysis was used to analyze the findings. The entire review process was conducted by two authors, and disputeswere referred to a third person.Results: Out of the 1167 founded articles, 50 were finally included in the study. According to 10 importedpapers for meta-analysis includes 2770 sample size, general HP of drivers is estimated 3.33 [4.04-2.62 with CI95, I2=89.72]. Also, HP for experienced and beginner drivers is estimated 3.26 [2.23-4.26 with CI 95, I2=89.47]and 3.42 [2.41-4.43 with CI 95, I2=89.68], respectively. Also, in the data meta-synthesis, 28 definitions of HPand 6 main components are identified to evaluate HP using thematic content analysis.Conclusion: In this study, obtained results show that all people need constant and gradual training at all levels.A factor that can be effective to improve drivers’ HP is to make drivers to take training courses and to passstandard tests at the time of obtaining driving license.
