▼ This study examined the effect of mindfulness on
driving behaviour, and the possible mediating effects of a number of well-being measures. Specifically, the research aimed to determine (1) if higher levels of mindfulness would lead to safer
driving practices and (2) if there was a relationship between mindfulness and safe
driving, whether this was mediated by well-being measures including self-control, emotion regulation, happiness, life satisfaction, job satisfaction and work engagement. Participants included 216 employees from 16 organizations. They all completed ‘the mindfulness, wellbeing and driving’ questionnaire, which involved measures of mindfulness, intentions to violate traffic rules, self-reported number of traffic incidences in the previous 12 months (fines, near misses and crashes), as well as the well-being measures mentioned above. First, a strong correlation between increased levels of mindfulness and safer
driving practices was found, including a decreased likelihood of texting. Further initial correlations also demonstrated relationships between mindfulness and all the well-being measures. As mindfulness increased, levels of all the well-being measures increased, with the exception of happiness. However, when mediation analysis was performed only self-control and happiness were found to mediate the relationship between mindfulness and safer
driving, while the effect of emotion regulation, life and job satisfaction and work engagement were not found to be significant mediators. The role of self-control as a mediator in the mindfulness safer
driving relationship supported previous research. Increased levels of attention, awareness and emotion regulation are all qualities associated with increased levels of mindfulness, which have also been demonstrated to relate to safer
driving practices.
While happiness was found to positively mediate the relationship between mindfulness and safer
driving practices, interestingly, the relationship between mindfulness and happiness was opposite to what was expected. As levels of mindfulness increased, levels of happiness decreased. This may have been due to the happiness measure, which contained eudaimonic and hedonic factors. Hedonic factors have been considered less indicative of life satisfaction and overall well-being, and run opposite to the principles underlying mindfulness. Despite this, increased levels of happiness were still found to increase safer
driving practices. These findings will hopefully ignite more research efforts to be directed towards examining the effects of mindfulness interventions on
driving practices, and overall social and occupational well-being.

▼ Lane change manoeuvres are known to vary widely in lane change duration. This is thought to be an effect of the surrounding vehicles and personal preference of drivers. However, little is known about the effect on steering behaviour during a lane change manoeuvre. Moreover, the relation of the effect of traffic to inter- and intra-driver variability is unknown. This study focuses on quantifying inter- and intra-driver variability in lane change duration and steering behaviour during lane changes in two different traffic scenarios. In an exploratory study, 21 participants drove 30 lane change manoeuvres in a 6 DoF moving base driving simulator. Two scenarios were used: a closing gap in the target lane and a constant gap in the target lane, with 15 repetitions per scenario. The results show high inter-driver and intra-driver variability, for both lane change duration (M=6.34 s SD-inter=0.90 s SD-intra=1.26 s) and steering behaviour (e.g. maximum steering wheel angle M=4.14 deg SD-inter=1.62 deg SD-intra=1.34 deg). The effect of the scenario was not significant for lane change duration and maximum steering wheel angles. Additionally, it was shown that lane change duration only has a medium correlation with the maximum steering wheel angle (Pearson R(585)=-.48, pless0.001). Furthermore, the mean and variability of the lane change duration decreased when lane changes were initiated with a shorter distance to the slow lead vehicle. Concluding, the lane change duration does not fully determine steering behaviour during a lane change, making it an unsuitable metric for determining human-like lane change trajectories. It is therefore proposed to create trajectories based on steering behaviour. It seems that drivers exhibit high variability in lane change behaviour when spatio-temporal criticality with respect to traffic is low. Higher spatio-temporal criticality limits the mean and variability of the lane change duration. Future work should determine whether this variability is the result of driver preference or indifference. Additionally, future work should implement and test human-like lane change trajectories based on steering behaviour as opposed to lane change duration.

▼ Distracted driving continues to remain a cause of concern for a number of bodies, including government agencies, traffic safety advocacy groups and law enforcement agencies, because of its traffic safety risks. The driving simulator continues to be popular with researchers in collecting data on performance variables that provide scientific knowledge of the effects of distracted driving. Several of these performance variables can be used to quantify a single distracting effect, resulting in a multivariate dataset. A literature review of related studies revealed that researchers overwhelmingly use univariate (single and multiple) tests to analyze the resulting dataset. Performing multiple univariate tests on a multivariate dataset results in inflated Type-I error rates, and could result in inaccurately concluding that there is a distracting effect when there may not be. Researchers also provided very little or no justification for the selection of variables that were used for the univariate analysis. Being able to correctly identify a set of variables to be used to research a single distracting effect is critical in that different variables may lead to different conclusions of significant findings or not. The primary objective of this dissertation was to develop a sound statistical basis for correctly identifying a set of variables and also to demonstrate the benefits of adopting a multivariate gate-keeper test in distracted driving studies. This was demonstrated with an experiment where 67 drivers participated in a repeated measures driving simulator experiment. 14 commonly used performance variables were used as the multivariate response variables. The corresponding data were analyzed using univariate tests, and multivariate gate-keeper tests. The results indicate that ignoring the multivariate structure and performing multiple univariate tests, as has been found to be prevalent in past studies, will lead to inflated Type-I error rates and potentially misleading conclusions. The procedure developed in this study also led to the development of sound statistical basis for the selection of variables that can be best used to account for the distracting effect of the texting and phone call activities that were investigated. The findings of this study have significant educational value to the body of knowledge on distracted driving studies and any other studies that analyze multiple dependent variables for a single factor.

▼ The objective of this thesis is to analyse driving behaviour and to characterize the effectsof an efficient way of driving, termed eco-driving, that enables the driver to reduce fuelconsumption and CO2emissions.The approach used to assess driving style is a collection of data from a CAN bus of acar equipped with OBD-II (on-board diagnostic) system. The driving experiment wasperformed for nine drivers who drove in a normal way or regular driving style and onedriver was an eco-driver who drove in an economical driving style. The driving routewas approximately 18.7 kms (which took between 25 to 30 minutes) in Halmstad city,Sweden.The drivers are compared using a statistical analysis of the driving parameters such as,speed, accelerator (gas pedal) and brake pressure, which are obtained from CAN busdata. A hierarchical clustering algorithm also used to classify the drivers based on theaverage result of the signals.In the results, a driving difference between the eco-driver and the normal drivers is visi-ble, most of the normal drivers have more or less similar behaviour. The average speed ofthe eco-driver lower than the normal drivers and the accelerator (gas pedal) result is alsoshown less usage by the eco-driver than the normal drivers. On the other hand, the eco-driver has braked more often than the normal drivers, but gently. Nevertheless, differenttraffic conditions during the experiment obstructs comparisons between the drivers.

▼ Airport road access wayfinding refers to a process in which a driver makes a decision to navigate using information support systems in order to arrive to airport successfully. The purpose of this research is to evaluate senior drivers’ behaviour of alternative airport road access designs. In order to evaluate the impact of wayfinding, the combination of simulated driving and completion of a questionnaire were performed. Quantitative data was acquired to give significant results justifying the research outcomes and allow non-biased interpretation of the research results. It represents the process within the development of the methodology and the concept of airport road access design and driving behaviour. Wayfinding complexity varied due to differing levels of road-side furniture. The simulated driving parameters measured were driving mistakes and performances of senior drivers. Three types of driving scenarios were designed consisting of 3.8 miles of airport road access. 40 senior drivers volunteered to undertake these tasks. The questionnaire was used as a supporting study to increase the reliability and validity of the research. Respondents who volunteered for the simulated driving test were encouraged to participate in the questionnaire sessions. The questionnaire was answered after each simulation test was completed. The Mean, Standard Deviation (SD) and Two-Way ANOVA test were used to analyse the results and discussed with reference to the use of the driving simulation. The results confirmed that age group has no significant effect of airport road access complexity design on driving behaviour. Although many studies have been conducted on wayfinding in general, a detailed evaluation on airport road access wayfinding network and driving behaviour in respect of senior drivers were still unexplored domains.

▼ Road safety has become a major concern due to the increased rate of deaths caused by road accidents. For this purpose, intelligent transportation systems are being developed to reduce the number of fatalities on the road. A plethora of work has been undertaken on the detection of different styles of behaviour such as fatigue and drunken behaviour of the drivers; however, owing to complexity of human behaviour, a lot has yet to be explored in this field to assess different styles of the abnormal behaviour to make roads safer for travelling. This research focuses on detection of a very complex driver’s behaviours: ‘tafheet’, reckless and aggressive by proposing and building a driver’s behaviour detection model in the context-aware system in the VANET environment. Tafheet behaviour is very complex behaviour shown by young drivers in the Middle East, Japan and the USA. It is characterised by driving at dangerously high speeds (beyond those commonly known in aggressive behaviour) coupled with the drifting and angular movements of the wheels of the vehicle, which is similarly aggressive and reckless driving behaviour. Thus, the dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) framework was applied to perform reasoning relating to the uncertainty associated with driver’s behaviour and to deduce the possible combinations of the driver’s behaviour based on the information gathered by the system about the foregoing factors. Based on the concept of context-awareness, a novel Tafheet driver’s behaviour detection architecture had been built in this thesis, which had been separated into three phases: sensing phase, processing and thinking phase and the acting phase. The proposed system elaborated the interactions of various components of the architecture with each other in order to detect the required outcomes from it. The implementation of this proposed system was executed using GeNIe 2.0 software, resulting in the construction of DBN model. The DBN model was evaluated by using experimental set of data in order to substantiate its functionality and accuracy in terms of detection of tafheet, reckless and aggressive behaviours in the real time manner. It was shown that the proposed system was able to detect the selected abnormal behaviours of the driver based on the contextual data collected. The novelty of this system was that it could detect the reckless, aggressive and tafheet behaviour in sequential manner, based on the intensity of the driver’s behaviour itself. In contrast to previous detection model, this research work suggested the On Board Unit architecture for the arrangement of sensors and data processing and decision making of the proposed system, which can be used to pre-infer the complex behaviour like tafheet. Thus it has the potential to prevent the road accidents from happening due to tafheet behaviour.

▼ The increasing growth of population and a rising number of vehicles, connected to an individual, demand new solutions to reduce traffic delays and enhance road safety. Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have been considered as an optimal solution to overcome those problems. Despite the remarkable research and development progress in the area of (semi) AVs over the last decades, there is still concern that occupants may not feel safe and comfortable due to the robot-like driving behaviour of the current technology. In order to facilitate their rapid uptake and market penetration, ride comfort in AVs must be ensured. Braking behaviour has been identified to be a crucial factor in ride comfort. There is a dearth of research on which factors affect the braking behaviour and the comfort level while braking and which braking profiles make the occupants feel safe and comfortable. Therefore, the primary aim of this thesis is to model the deceleration events of drivers under normal driving conditions to guide comfortable braking design. The aim was achieved by exploiting naturalistic driving data from three projects: (1) the Pan-European TeleFOT (Field Operational Tests of Aftermarket and Nomadic Devices in Vehicles) project, (2) the Field Operational Test (FOT) conducted by Loughborough University and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and (3) the UDRIVE Naturalistic Driving Study. A total of about 35 million observations were examined from 86 different drivers and 644 different trips resulting in almost 10,000 deceleration events for the braking features analysis and 21,600 deceleration events for the comfort level analysis. Since deceleration events are nested within trips and trips within drivers, multilevel mixed-effects linear models were employed to develop relationships between deceleration value and duration and the factors influencing them. The examined factors were kinematics, situational, driver and trip characteristics with the first two categories to affect the most the deceleration features. More specifically, the initial speed and the reason for braking play a significant role, whereas the driver's characteristics, i.e. the age and gender do not affect the deceleration features, except for driver's experience which significantly affects the deceleration duration. An algorithm was developed to calculate the braking profiles, indicating that the most used profile follows smooth braking at the beginning followed by a harder one. Moreover, comfort levels of drivers were analysed using the Mixed Multinomial Logit models to identify the effect of the explanatory factors on the comfort category of braking events. Kinematic factors and especially TTC and time headway (THW) were found to affect the most the comfort level. Particularly, when TTC or THW are increased by 1 second, the odds of the event to be “very comfortable” are respectively 1.03 and 4.5 times higher than being “very uncomfortable”. Moreover, the driver's characteristic, i.e. age and gender affect significantly the comfort level of the deceleration event.…

▼ Driving is a high-risk adventure which many enjoy on a daily basis. The driving task is highly complex, ever-changing, and one which requires continuous attention and rapid decision making. It is a task that is not without risk, where the cost to reach the desired destination can be too great – your life could be at stake. Driving is not without incidents. Rear-end collision is a common problem in the Swedish traffic environment, with over 100 police-reported individual incidents per year. The amount of rear-end collisions can be hypothetically reduced by introducing new technology in the driver’s vehicle, technology which attempts to improve the driver’s safety driving. This technology is called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems – ADAS. In this study two ADAS were evaluated in a driving simulator study: An Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which operates on both hazardous and non-hazardous events, and a Collision Warning System (CWS) which operates solely on non-hazardous events. Both of these ADAS function to guard against risky driving and are based on the assumption that drivers will not act in such a manner that they would willingly reduce the effectiveness of the system. A within-subjects simulation study was conducted where participants drove under three conditions: 1) with an adaptive cruise controller, 2) a frontal rear-end collision warning system ADAS, and 3) unaided, in order to investigate differences between the three driving conditions. Particular focus was on whether the two ADAS improved driving safety. The study results indicate that driving enhanced by the two ADAS made the participating drivers drive less safely.

▼ AIM. The primary aim of the research presented in this thesis was to establish if emergency vehicle markings and warning systems influenced the way in which either a civilian or emergency driver responded when interacting during emergency driving situations. This was achieved by utilising a variety of research methods and a wide range of data types, including self-report questionnaires, Police collision reports, and real-world video data. The intention was that the findings could be used to inform approaches towards improving the on-road interaction between civilian and emergency drivers. BACKGROUND. Numerous emergency vehicle interactions occur without incident, yet some result in near misses, and collisions – both minor and serious in nature. Previous research (Shultz et al. 2009) has reported that civilian drivers often act in an adverse manner such as a panicked reaction (Gormley et al. 2009), due to poor vehicle salience, or modern vehicle soundproofing and technology distractions, when interacting with a responding emergency vehicle. Consequences of these negative interactions include feelings of frustration by the emergency driver, blame apportionment, and financial and reputational damage to the organisations themselves. Following an extensive review of the literature, research therefore firstly established the opinions of emergency and civilian drivers. Subsequent analysis of data, involving use of both marked and unmarked Police vehicles then helped to establish whether near misses and collisions occur as a result of marking type, through poor conspicuity (salience and warning systems) or as a result of behavioural change in the drivers themselves. METHODS. The research was conducted through four studies, using a multi-methods approach, to establish i.) The attitudes and opinions of emergency service drivers towards the public through questionnaire survey. ii.) A comparison between both marked and unmarked Police vehicle collision data and the effect of emergency warning systems on collision liability, over a 4.5 year time frame utilising telematics data from both vehicle marking types. iii.) Analysis of Police real world video footage observing the interaction between a civilian driver and a responding Police vehicle. iv.) Civilian drivers' perceptions of how they interact with the emergency vehicle when allowing for its presence on the road through questionnaire survey. RESULTS. Important findings identified through self report questionnaires showed that Police drivers believed they were the least aggressive drivers, in comparison to their emergency service driver peers. Ambulance drivers were the most frustrated with other road users but were more willing to discuss their feelings, whilst Fire Service drivers were more likely to take risks in order to arrive more quickly at an emergency situation. Evidence gathered and reviewed showed that the public reacted in two distinct ways when giving ease of passage to an emergency vehicle. On high speed roads, civilian drivers showed an initial delayed reaction,…

▼ While traffic planning is important for developing a hurricane evacuation plan, vehicle performance on the roads during extreme weather conditions is critical to the success of the planning process. This study was designed to lay a foundation for modeling driving behavior and vehicle performance as an assessment tool in the decision making process for planning evacuation routes during hurricane and tropical storms. The study explores how the parameters of a driving simulator could be modified to reproduce wind loadings experienced by three vehicle types (a passenger car, an ambulance, and a bus) during gusty hurricane winds, through manipulation of appropriate software. Thirty participants were then tested on the modified driving simulator under five wind conditions (ranging from “wind-free” to hurricane category 4). The driving performance measures used were heading error and lateral displacement. The results showed that higher wind forces resulted in more varied and greater heading error and lateral displacement. The ambulance had the greatest heading errors and lateral displacements, which were attributed to its large lateral surface area and light weight. Mathematical models were developed to estimate the heading error and lateral displacements for each of the vehicle types for a given change in lateral wind force. Through a questionnaire, participants felt the different characteristics while driving each vehicle type. The findings of this study demonstrate the valuable use of a driving simulator to model the behavior of different vehicle types, and to develop mathematical models to estimate and quantify driving behavior and vehicle performance under hurricane wind conditions.

▼ Fully-electric car technology has made enormous progress in recent years. With
driving range as one of the key factors for commercial success and the vast variety
of real-world driving behaviour, the question arises how different levels of driving aggressiveness
and drive cycles influence the energy flow in a Battery Electric Vehicle
(BEV). Vehicle-level simulations in Siemens Simcenter Amesim were carried out to
assess the energy flow in the BEV. Both standard drive cycles and real-world drive
patterns represented city, rural and highway driving were considered. The driving
aggressiveness was modelled by considering velocity modified and acceleration
modified drive patterns separately. The simulation results show that drive cycles
with high RPA and relatively low average velocity (20-30 km/h) have the lowest energy
consumption due to the ability of BEVs to recuperate energy from regenerative
braking and their high average efficiency at these velocities. Thus, BEVs are more
sensitive to changes in velocities than in accelerations. High accelerations not only
increase the inertia work share of the drive cycle, but also the amount of energy
recuperated by regenerative braking. Higher velocities, however, only increase the
road work part of wheel work leading to increase in energy demand without the
possibility to recover it through regenerative braking. Although questions such as
the exact impact of road slopes on energy consumption remain open to further investigation,
it can be stated that BEVs are particularly suitable for city traffic with
its frequent braking events and relatively low average velocities.

▼ The research focus is on two major current challenges facing fleet operators and motor insurance providers globally. For fleet operators, staying profitable means reducing their running cost by increasing their operation efficiency and reducing their running costs by reducing driver fuel consumption and avoiding costly road accidents. For motor insurance providers, having a profitable business requires sale premiums that reflect real-world exposure to risks. This means moving towards metrics beyond traditional pricing parameters, such as age, occupation and gender. Regarding this, there is now substantial interest in understanding drivers' driving behaviour, since knowing which ways of driving are resulting in using more fuel and/or being exposed to road accidents can bring huge financial benefits to both the aforementioned industries. To identify driving behaviours that are costly (both in terms of fuel usage and involvement in road crashes), a naturalistic driving behaviour field study, called Eco Safe Driving Challenge, was developed between 2013 and 2015 at University of Bath. The project followed the same format of major real-world driving behaviour test such as 100-cars in the US, PROLOGUE and UDRIVE in the EU by following the FESTA-V approach in designing the experiment, data collection, data management, ethical and legal concerns, data analysis and evaluating the findings. In total, 250 km worth of driving data was collected from nine drivers aged between 25-30 using medium size petrol cars. A special route was designed to mimic specific road settings, including downhill driving, uphill driving, traffic lights, a pedestrian crossing and a roundabout. It comprised a 4km loop (same start and end points), starting and finishing at the University of Bath, with an 11% increase and decrease in road slope. The data were collected using OBDII dongles fitted with GPS sensors to record location and a sim card for sending driving data to a dedicated server in real-time. A strategic framework has been developed to analyse the data in two domains, i.e. eco-driving and driving and in three phases. First, identifying specific driving behaviour, secondly classifying and comparing drivers' differences and finally, scoring, ranking and model drivers’ driving behaviour performances with the aim of assessing eco-driving and safe driving behaviour impacts. The key contributions of the work are, firstly it has found that drivers’ with a tendency to misuse gears, use excessive engine power and/or frequently speed are less fuel efficient than their counterparts. To validate this claim, a metric called Vehicle Specific Power – Fuel Consumption (VSP – FC) has been developed, which shows that eco-drivers, on average, have 1.0-1.2 points higher than others according to this measure. When evaluating safe driving behaviours, it emerged that there was 75% correlation between historical crash zones (based on public records) and locations (400 metre long road segments) where the nine participants in the driving event undertook harsh breaking…

▼ Road traffic safety represents the procedures implemented and actualized to inhibit drivers and operators from being killed or significantly wounded. Traffic safety is vital to the enhancement and preservation of economic, social, and environmental aspects of any society. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, road traffic crashes have become to be a very severe issue and the country has already taken steps in resolving this issue. However, previously conducted scientific studies regarding road safety in the KSA were limited to a certain age group.In this dissertation, road traffic crashes were studied in three regions of the KSA (Makkah, Riyadh, and Dammam) based on: driving behavior, locus of control, demographic factors, time of the day, type of road. In addition questionnaire was used to assess driving behavior. Different statistical models such as the random parameters Poisson regression, MANOVA, and logistic binary regression were used to conduct the investigation. The results of the study indicate the following, aggressive behavior increases the chances of both getting into a car crash and being injured in one. Therefore, the KSA should introduce measures in order to control and train drivers who tend to driveaggressively. Furthermore, the programs should include and be adjusted to different demographic groups. The results indicated that the period between 12 am and 6 am is the time of the day when the chances for a road crash are the highest. The dissertation also adapted the DBQ for use in the KSA, and demonstrated its validity by cross-matching the responses on the questionnaire with official reports. This questionnaire could be a useful tool for selecting people to attend road safety programs. This dissertation is a very valuable source of information for the KSA as well as a base for future research.

▼ Background: Road traffic accident is one of the top ten leading causes of death in world-wide. Every year 1.35 million peoples around the world die as a result of road traffic collisions. It‟s the result of contribution of many factors including environmental, vehicle and human factors and from all factors human factors contribute the major role for the cause of road traffic accident. There is no much evidence how the personality of drivers affects
driving behavior and as well as its contribution on accident.
Objective: To assess the relationship between of personality and risky
driving behavior and their role on road traffic accidents among the public transport drivers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 2019.
Methods: Institutional based cross sectional study design was conducted from January 01 to February 30, 2019 G.C. Using random selection three hundred seventy seven public transport drivers were selected from operated terminals. Data were collected by trained data collectors through interview using standardized questionnaire. The collected data were entered in Epi-data version 3.1 software and exported to Stata version 14.0 statistical software for analysis. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were used to know the final predictors with a cut of point of P-value < 0.05 level of significance. Structural equation modeling program was applied to assess the relationship between personality and risky
driving behaviors.
Result: Totally 374 drivers participated in the study with response rate of 99.2%. The overall magnitude of risky
driving behavior the study participants was 49%. Those had anger personality and speeding
behavior had increased odds of road traffic accident. Two of personality trait were found positively significant with risky
driving behaviors, driver anger (β = 0.24, P= 0.000) and sensational seeking (β = 0.13, P=0.000) with 58% total variance. Both personality and risky
driving behaviors directly predicted road traffic accident with 23% of variance.
Conclusion and recommendation: The findings of the study show, anger and speeding had important contributor to accident and personality had significant association with risky
driving behavior. And both personality and risky
driving behavior had strong effect accident. And transport authority should design strategy and promote that helps to reduce speeding

▼ This thesis investigates the effect of a feedback-reward system on speeding and tailgating behaviours. Data utilized in this study were collected from 37 participants through a field trial commissioned by Transport Canada. In this trial, a feedback-reward system was investigated, which provided feedback and rewards to the drivers based on speed limit compliance and safe headway maintenance. The trial consisted of three phases: baseline, intervention, and post-intervention. During the intervention phase, real-time feedback was provided on an in-vehicle display. Participants also accumulated reward points and could view related information on a website.
Results indicate that the intervention resulted in a significant increase in speed limit compliance, and this positive effect, although dampened, was still apparent after system removal. Similarly, results on headway compliance rate indicate a positive intervention effect, however, this effect did not sustain after system removal. These findings have implications for developing better aids to improve driving behaviour.

▼ In Dutch design guidelines it is presumed that merging tapers are unsafe compared to the standard merger design. However, this presumption is not scientifically underpinned and therefore it is unclear whether this presumption is correct and if merging tapers are indeed unsafe. Design guidelines for merging tapers are neither scientifically underpinned, and therefore it is unclear whether these design guidelines are correct. Due to this, it is unclear what the effect of deviating from the guidelines is on road safety on merging tapers. This study investigated the road safety on merging tapers compared to the standard merger design, and the effect of varying road designs and traffic conditions on the road safety on merging tapers. This was done by means of accident data, a questionnaire and a driving simulator experiment.

▼ World-wide injuries in vehicle accidents have been on the rise in recent
years, mainly due to driver error. The main objective of this research is to
develop a predictive system for driving maneuvers by analyzing the cognitive
behavior (cephalo-ocular) and the driving behavior of the driver (how the vehicle
is being driven). Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) include
different driving functions, such as vehicle parking, lane departure warning,
blind spot detection, and so on. While much research has been performed on
developing automated co-driver systems, little attention has been paid to the
fact that the driver plays an important role in driving events. Therefore, it
is crucial to monitor events and factors that directly concern the driver. As
a goal, we perform a quantitative and qualitative analysis of driver behavior
to find its relationship with driver intentionality and driving-related actions.
We have designed and developed an instrumented vehicle (RoadLAB) that is
able to record several synchronized streams of data, including the surrounding
environment of the driver, vehicle functions and driver cephalo-ocular behavior,
such as gaze/head information. We subsequently analyze and study the
behavior of several drivers to find out if there is a meaningful relation between
driver behavior and the next driving maneuver.

▼ New technologies like electric power steering and steer-by-wire have made it possible to freely shape the steering wheel dynamics. As the driver is part of the closed-loop vehicle steering system, his neuromuscular response should be taken into account when shaping steering wheel dynamics. It is known that drivers adapt the dynamics of their arm to different traffic situations (e.g., increased neuromuscular stiffness for narrow roads) and to the steering wheel dynamics itself. Based on that knowledge, this research study investigates whether steering wheel stiffness can be used to assist driving behaviour for different road widths. It was hypothesised that with higher steering wheel stiffness (KSW), drivers would keep the combined dynamics constant by decreasing their neuromuscular stiffness (KNMS). In a critical traffic situation like when a road narrows, high KSW could then allow drivers to relax more, as they would no longer need to increase their own KNMS. Eleven subjects took part in a driving simulator experiment where driving criticality was manipulated by alternating wide and narrow straight segments. Three steering wheel settings were tested: baseline, high and ‘adaptive’ stiffness, which changed gradually from baseline KSW on wide roads to high KSW on narrow roads, and vice versa. Against expectation, no decrease in KNMS was found for higher KSW. Adapting KSW to road width, similar to how drivers adapt, did thus not yield the expected benefits in terms of KNMS. In addition, even with high KSW, performance remained worse on narrow compared to wide roads. However, effort was lower with high KSW, while performance was maintained or even increased. Also, subjective ratings were highest for adaptive KSW, which enabled drivers to keep effort constant between road widths. While no effects on KNMS were found, adapting KSW can thus be a useful tool in assisting driving behaviour in different road conditions.

▼ In this study, I have understood
driving behavior difference between drivers with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and drivers without Mild Cognitive Impairment (Non-MCI) and understood the relationship between cognitive abilities of different individuals and their
driving behavior. I have developed different methodologies to extract different measures representing
driving behavior at road intersections. Multiple
driving individuals residing in MCI and Non-MCI were recruited and their
driving data and physiological data were recorded.
Driving behavior was represented in two domains (Physiological domain and Vehicular domain). First goal of this study was to find out
driving behavior difference between MCI and Non-MCI group of drivers using both physiological domain measures as well as vehicular domain measures using statistical analysis. Second goal of this study was to find relationship between cognitive abilities and
driving performance measures. To find out this difference braking patterns of drivers were analyzed just before the intersection to understand the effect of declined cognitive abilities on the effectiveness of
driving. Based on the results of the experiments machine learning model was trained to classify drivers in two different classes based on their vehicular and physiological domain
driving performance measures. From the experiments performed, I found out that there is some significant difference between MCI and Non-MCI group of drivers in both Physiological domain measures as well as Vehicle domain measures.

▼ In the U.S., motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for individuals 2 to 34 years of age (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2009c). Of particular interest are 18 to 25 year olds or
emerging adults because of their increased crash risk. The prevalence of crashes attributable to the combination of
driving inexperience and risky behaviors creates the necessity to identify predictors of crash likelihoods. While there are known personality variables that predict risky
driving, time perspective as an additional one was suggested. Time perspective pertains to how the past, present, and future influence an individual's actions. Zimbardo, Keough, and Boyd (1997) investigated the relationship between time perspective and risky
driving behavior as part of a larger health
behavior study. The current research focused on replicating and extending their initial endeavor. Proposed improvements included expanding the risky
driving outcome questionnaire from Zimbardo's five items to include scales more commonly used in the traffic research field (e.g., the Driver
Behavior Questionnaire: Lajunen, Parker, & Summala, 2004; the
Driving Anger Expression Inventory: Deffenbacher, Lynch, Getting, & Swaim, 2002). Second, the two separate present time perspective subscales of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), which have not been used in clriving risk research, were employed to better reflect differing
driving behaviors and characteristics associated with fatalism and hedonism (Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). Third, the role of positive
driving behaviors seemed important given its recent focus in the literature. Thus, both risky and positive
driving behaviors were investigated (Özkan & Lajunen, 2005). Based on previous research, hypotheses were tested among the various time perspective orientations and risky and positive
driving behaviors. The utility of time perspective as a predictor of
driving behavior is discussed. In addition to studying the relationship between time perspective and
driving behaviors, the influence of emerging adulthood were explored. Today many individuals are extending the time between adolescence and adulthood (Arnett, 2000). This intermediate stage where individuals are taking more time to explore their options before making long-term commitments was tested for its unique contribution toward predicting
driving behavior. Specifically, it was hypothesized that those who score lower on the emerging adult factor would display more risky
driving behaviors and fewer positive
driving behaviors. Emerging adulthood was also tested in an overall model of risky
driving which includes the time perspectives of interest and the control variables of sensation seeking and anger.

▼ The purpose of the current study was to assess the efficacy of mental models as a predictor of
driving outcomes. In contrast to more traditional measures of knowledge, mental models capture the configural property of knowledge, that is, an individual's understanding of the interrelationships that exist among critical concepts within a particular knowledge domain. Given that research has consistently shown the usefulness of mental models for the prediction of performance in a number of settings, it was hypothesized that the development of accurate
driving mental models would also play an important role in the prediction of
driving outcomes, especially in comparison to traditional measures of
driving knowledge—such as the multiple-choice type tests typically required to obtain a driver license.
Mental models of 130 college students (52 percent females) between 17 and 21 years-old (M = 18.68, SD = 0.80) were analyzed and compared to a
subject matter expert (SME) referent structure using Pathfinder. A statistically significant correlation was found for mental model accuracy and moving violations (r = –.18, p <.05), but not for at-fault crashes. Evidence of incremental validity of mental models over commonly used predictors of moving violations (but not for at-fault crashes) was also found. Exploratory analyses revealed that
driving knowledge, general mental ability (GMA), and emotional stability were the best predictors of mental model accuracy.
Issues related to the measurement of mental models were extensively addressed. First, statistically significant correlations between GMA and several mental model properties (i.e., accuracy scores, within participant similarity, and within participant correlation) suggest that challenges inherent to the task for eliciting mental models may influence mental model scores which, in turn, may lower mental model reliability estimates. Also, the selection of model components (i.e., terms) and the identification of the "best" reference structure for deriving mental model accuracy scores are undoubtedly critical aspects of mental model-related research. Along with illustrating the decisions made in the context of this particular study, some suggestions for conducting mental model-related research are provided.

▼ Licensed drivers arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol have increased rates of vehicle crashes, moving violations, and traffic tickets (Evans, 2004). To date, no research has examined specific self-regulatory mechanisms of the DUI driver under a dose of alcohol that might underlie risky driving behavior. The present study examined the degree to which DUI drivers display an increased sensitivity to the acute impairing effects of alcohol on driving performance and overestimate their driving fitness following alcohol consumption. Adult drivers with a history of DUI and a demographically-matched group of control drivers without a DUI were tested following a 0.65 g/kg dose of alcohol and a placebo. Results indicated that while alcohol impaired several measures of simulated driving performance, there were no differences between DUI offenders and controls on any of these measures. Compared with controls, intoxicated DUI drivers self-reported greater ability and willingness to drive as BAC declined despite no differences in levels of self-reported intoxication or BAC estimation. These findings provide evidence that DUI drivers might perceive themselves as more fit to drive after drinking despite clear evidence for their behavioral impairment. These findings could have important implications in the decisions to drink and drive.

▼ With state-of-the-art
driving automation technology available to the public (i.e., SAE Level 2
driving automation), drivers no longer need to control the vehicle continuously, but are still required to monitor the road and the automation, and take over control or adjust the automation’s setting when necessary. Thus, many
driving skills, such as anticipatory
driving, which can allow drivers to predict potential traffic changes and respond to them in advance, can still enhance
driving safety in automated vehicles. Anticipatory
driving has already been found to be more prevalent among experienced drivers in non-automated vehicles. However, the factors influencing anticipatory
driving in automated vehicles has not yet been investigated. Thus, this dissertation aims to understand anticipatory
driving behaviors in automated vehicles and investigate displays that can support it.
Three
driving simulator experiments were conducted. The first experiment investigated the relationships between anticipatory
driving, distraction engagement,
driving experience, and visual attention allocation in non-automated vehicles. The second experiment re-investigated the factors mentioned above in a simulated automated vehicle equipped with adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance. The third experiment investigated the effectiveness of two displays in supporting anticipatory
driving among experienced and novice drivers in automated vehicles, i.e., a TORAC display with takeover request (TOR) and automation capability (AC) information, and a STTORAC display with surrounding traffic (ST) information in addition to the TORAC display.
Results show that in both automated and non-automated vehicles, experienced drivers exhibited more anticipatory
driving behaviors, and distraction engagement impeded anticipatory
driving for both novice and experienced drivers. Further, allocating more visual attention toward cues indicating upcoming events increased the odds of exhibiting anticipatory
driving behaviors in non-automated vehicles. For automated vehicles, it was found that drivers’ reliance on automation might have a larger impact on the performance of anticipatory
driving compared with visual attention to cues. The TORAC display led to less anticipatory
driving in automated vehicles, possibly because it led to over-reliance on automation. Providing additional context information in the STTORAC display presumably supported drivers’ anticipation of potential traffic conflicts.

▼ The behaviour change technique of motive substitution may be a more effective method of motivating drivers to adopt an energy efficient driving style than existing strategies. Previous research has tested dashboard displays that inform, score, and advise drivers, but do little to overcome attitudinal barriers, intention-action gaps, and apathy. An animated sloshing coffee-cup display applies motive substitution by providing an alternate gameful experience that is intuitive, engaging, and congruous with the goal of low-acceleration driving. This intervention incorporates principles from cognitive and social psychology, human factors engineering, and behavioural economics to influence driver behaviour while managing distraction risks. The intuitive elements of the display were tested in an online survey with drivers reporting a significant preference for the coffee-cup display over an acceleration dial gauge. A driving simulator study was developed to test the behavioural impacts of a functional prototype using measures of acceleration, fuel consumption, and eye glance durations.

▼ Advanced driving assistance systems that offer
support by operating for example longitudinal control will have an
effect on the transport system. Previous studies have also shown
that drivers may be slower to respond in hazardous situations with
systems like adaptive cruise control (ACC) engaged, if the system
suddenly fails. Little understanding has, so far, emerged to
explain why. In this thesis, a situated approach to cognition was
used to explain how the drivers’ goals and priorities might change
with the opportunity of delegating control to a system.
Additionally, drivers’ tactical driving decisions were studied to
determine how a system such as ACC is integrated into driving. Such
changes could, possibly, impact measures like response times as
well. The research focused on how drivers handle the addition of
ACC to their drive, especially when managing traffic conflicts.
Traffic conflicts are not rare events, but form part of everyday
driving. Three methods were used: A questionnaire addressing
drivers’ understanding of system limitations, a simulator study on
handling traffic conflicts when using ACC, and a database study of
a field operational test comparing driver responses with and
without ACC. The studies show that drivers do take system behaviour
into account when handling traffic conflicts, sometimes allowing
the system to act, sometimes by resuming manual control themselves.
Previous experience with ACC was also found to affect not only
drivers’ knowledge of system limitations, but also their response
time to unwanted system behaviour. Drivers were, as previously
found, slower to respond with automation than without in simulated
driving. In contrast, when studying driver response times in the
field test, drivers were faster to respond to a cut-in situation
with ACC active than without. The freedom of drivers to use the
system as they wish may cause it to be used under different
circumstances than in simulator studies, thus explaining the
inconsistency with previous results. The results of this thesis
indicate that tactical driving behaviour in common traffic
situations is an important factor when discussing the effects of
ACC and other advanced driver assistance systems. Thus, the cases
in which driving is affected by the system are extended from system
failures to a wide range of different situations. Merely using
operational measures will miss this aspect, thus risking a
depiction of driving with automation as more risky than it is.
Rather, driving with automation needs to be studied from a tactical
perspective, determining first how the systems are being used. Only
then can the relevant operational measures be
studied.

▼ The following thesis documents the work carried out throughout two main experiments.
The first experiment analyses driver crash data and extracts from it accidents that may
have occurred as a result of road segments with bad geometry. A visualisation and
analysis of this crash data is presented to better determine the relationship ‘if any’
between road geometry and accident points. The second experiment then examines
driver behaviour on road segments that also contain bad bends using a purpose built
driving simulator. This experiment is ‘driver centric’ as it measures behaviour such as
eye movement. Both experiments examine contrasting Irish roadways with an aim to
better understand the driver when negotiating various geometries. Findings from the
crash data analysis initially show the majority of accidents occurring on straight
segments of the road types examined. However, when these accident frequencies are
normalised against the percentage of road that consist of straights and bends, interesting
signals appear on road types that combine sharp bends with higher road speed limits.
Results from driver eye behaviour analysis show drivers fixating on regions of the road
based on visible geometry or available sight distance. For example, drivers fixate on
areas at the road bend while negotiating sharp bends and fixate further on or above the
road surface when traversing straight segments.

▼ Problem definition and objective. The performance of work zones with specific layouts cannot be accurately determined, because changes in individual driving behaviour at work zones are unknown. Therefore, the research objective is: “Gain insight into possible adaptation effects related to the layout of work zones, in empirical individual driving behaviour and subsequent in macroscopic effects, by presenting the applied method”. Unmanned helicopter and observed layouts. Empirical individual driver data have been collected using an innovative method: the unmanned helicopter instead of a manned helicopter (to reduce costs and collect more data). The three observed configurations vary in lane widths, channelizing devices, and presence of reverse curves. Data processing. To analyse individual driving behaviour, vehicle movements have to be extracted from stabilized frames, but difficulties appeared by stabilizing imagery and detecting and tracking vehicles. Therefore, new methods are introduced to detect vehicles: ‘Edge detection’; A program identifying mouse clicks locations; Also a method is implemented for tracking vehicles: A shortest-path algorithm: the Dijkstra algorithm. Data analysis and results. For each configuration, empirical variables, e.g. time headway distributions, and the speed - following distance relationship are analysed and compared with consistent results: Driving speeds at corresponding following distances decrease by applying a work zone (and even more when also applying a reverse curve). Macroscopic effects are analysed by performing simulations, using a calibrated car-following model (the extended IDM) with individually -on their definition- estimated model parameters: Smaller lane widths and a barrier as channelizing device reduced capacity with 1.5%; When also applying a reverse curve, the reduction was even 6.2%.

▼ Introduction: Multiple studies have shown the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) can impair driving performance. Studies have also found elevated crash rates in drivers with PD, however, none have controlled for exposure or amount of driving. Although a few studies have suggested that drivers with PD may self-regulate (e.g., by reducing exposure or avoiding challenging situations), findings were based on self-report data. Studies with healthy older drivers have shown that objective driving data is more accurate than self-estimates.
Purposes: The primary objectives of this study were to examine whether drivers with PD restrict their driving (exposure and patterns) relative to an age-matched control group and explore possible reasons for such restrictions: trip purposes, perceptions of driving comfort and abilities, as well as depression, disease severity and symptoms associated with PD.
Methods: A convenience sample of 27 drivers with PD (mean 71.6±6.6, range 57 to 82, 78% men) and 20 age-matched control drivers from the same region (70.6±7.9, range 57 to 84, 80% men) were assessed between October 2009 and August 2010. Driving data was collected for two weeks using two electronic devices (one with GPS) installed in each person‟s vehicle. Participants completed trip logs, questionnaires on background and usual driving habits, and measures of cognitive functioning, depression, quality of life, daytime sleepiness, driving comfort and abilities. Contrast sensitivity and brake response time were also assessed. Severity of PD was assessed using the Unified Parkinson‟s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor scores. An interview was conducted at the end of the second assessment to examine influence of the devices, driving problems and any departures from usual patterns over the monitoring period.
Results: Of the 128 PD patients screened for possible study participation, 35% had already stopped driving. Former drivers were older, more likely to be women and had poorer UPDRS motor scores. Only 48% of those who were eligible for the study agreed to participate. Compared to controls, the PD group had significantly slower brake response times, higher depression and quality of life scores, less comfort driving at night and poorer perceptions of their driving abilities. The PD group also had significantly lower cognitive functioning scores than controls, and a significantly greater proportion (74% versus 45%) were classified as having mild cognitive impairment. Compared to vehicle recordings, both groups mis-estimated the amount they drove over two weeks (measurement error was 94 km for the PD group and 210 km for the controls). The PD group drove significantly less overall (days, trips, distance and duration), at night, on week-ends and in bad weather and for different purposes. Four of the PD drivers had minor accidents over the two weeks, while one lost his license.
Conclusions: Self-estimates of exposure were inaccurate warranting the continued use of objective driving data. Overall, the findings suggest that drivers with PD…
