The invention relates to a test and evaluation method of the latent risk perception ability of a driver, and belongs to the technical field of road traffic safety. The method mainly comprises the following steps: (1) classifying latent risk information; (2) determining risk levels of different types of latent risk information; (3) determining a latent risk degree of the latent risk information in a test road section or region; (4) determining a driving risk degree under the latent risk information in the test road section or region based on the latent risk degree; (5) constructing a virtual experiment test scene for testing the latent risk perception of the driver; (6) testing latent risk perception data of the driver through a driving simulation experiment; (7) evaluating the latent risk information perception of the driver. The method can test and evaluate the latent risk perception ability of the driver and assist in realizing the assessment of the latent risk perception ability of the driver, so that the risk cognition ability of the driver is improved, the safety awareness of the driver is enhanced, and the possibility of accident occurrence is reduced.
