▼ Driving behavior has been identified as a major contributing factor to critical accidents and road crashes. In Hong Kong, most road crashes (78.58%) involving traffic casualties are considered to be the drivers’ fault. A driving simulator approach was thus used to investigate driver behavior in distracted driving scenarios and scenarios involving signal countdown displays (SCD) at junctions. Distracted driving is considered to be one of the most common causes of traffic crashes. Two distraction experiments of driving while distracted by texting messages and using hands-free mobile phones were conducted. In the experiment on reading and typing text messages, the drivers’ reaction time (RT), driving lane undulation (DLU), driving speed fluctuation (DSF), and car-following distance (CFD) between the test and leading cars were analyzed according to the following conditions: (1) no distraction, (2) reading and typing Chinese text messages and (3) reading and typing English text messages. The results indicated that reading and typing text messages while driving should be prohibited regardless of whether Chinese or English is used, as they cause remarkable impairments in driving performance. In the experiment on hands-free mobile phone use, the drivers’ RT, DSF, car-following distance undulation (CDU), and car-following time headway undulation (CTU) were used to measure and compare driving performance under the distraction conditions of no distraction (ND), normal conversation (NC), and seven levels of mathematical calculation tasks. The causal relationship between the calculation levels and driving performance factors were also investigated using a structural equation model (SEM). The study revealed that normal conversation on a hands-free mobile phone impaired driving performance to a degree equivalent to the distraction caused by level 3 mathematical calculations. In addition, the seven levels of calculation tasks can be applied to measure the distraction effects of other driving behaviors. Road junctions and pedestrian crossings continue to be the locations where traffic accidents are most likely to occur. To better explore the effects of a SCD at a junction on driving performance, the driving behavior at green signal countdown displays (GSCD) was compared to that at conventional green light signal displays (GL), and the driving behavior at red signal countdown displays (RSCD) was compared to that at conventional red light signal displays (RL). Statistical tests of proportion were applied to compare the before-and-after installation effects. GSCD installation worsened the bimodal distribution of crossing speed at the stop line, in which the difference between the crossing speeds of the two sub-populations, risk-averse and risk-taking drivers, associated with the bimodal distribution was increased, and there was a tendency to encourage higher crossing speed for risk-taking drivers. Explanatory factors in terms of road condition, driving behavior, and individual characteristics were also included in the…

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ Transportation systems in today's world are complex, diverse, and dangerous. Drivers execute many tasks in order to safely and efficiently maneuver their vehicles in these systems. Evaluation of vehicle speed (ego motion) and inter-vehicle distance (egocentric distance) are crucial skills and constant demands while operating a motor vehicle. Common maneuvers such as braking, obstacle avoidance, and overtaking rely heavily on such skills. Driving skills and transportation safety concerns in general have been studied over the years by many research methodologies. One such methodology, the driving simulator, has emerged as a leading research tool to help understand driver behavior and mitigate traffic safety concerns. The overall effectiveness of driving simulation as a research tool is linked to how accurately modern technology can model reality. Therefore determining how valid simulators are in representing reality is a chief concern among researchers, as validity ensures accuracy and credibility of research efforts. Simulation validity is established both physically and behaviorally. The objective of this project was to conduct a driving simulator experiment to examine the perceptual and behavioral effects of various parameters of the simulation deemed relevant from theories of ego motion. Twenty drivers completed speed and following distance perception tasks (absolute production, fixed-increase production, and ratio production) while driving through rural road scenarios that varied in the presentation of motion, field of view, and optic flow. Tasks and dependent variables assessed driver perception of speeds (25-65 MPH) and following distances (150-300 ft) common in everyday driving. The study concluded that field of view (FOV) and optic flow simulation parameters were significant to the perception of absolute speed, with high levels of each parameter (large FOV, high optic flow) resulting in more accurate perception than low levels (small FOV, low optic flow). Also, participants perceived a high level of field of view as significantly more natural than a low level of field of view. The results of this study will add to the existing simulator body of knowledge and will also allow the researchers to quantify the relative importance of simulation parameters as a basis for future behavioral validation of the driving simulator.

▼ Rationale: Driving is a fundamental instrumental activity of daily living (IADL) and occupational therapists need practical, effective tools to evaluate clients’ fitness to drive. To be proficient at driving, one needs competency on the operational (manipulating pedals, steering wheel), tactical (negotiating obstacles), and strategic (navigation) levels. Few studies explore the strategic level. It is beneficial to determine if the strategic level of driving can be evaluated without an expensive, lengthy on-road test. Purpose: This study compared on-road driving performance during wayfinding using paper directions compared to GPS. A second question compared performance between on-road driving and driving in an interactive driving simulator (IDS). Typical clinical assessments tools, specifically the Trail Making Test B, Assessment of Motor & Process Skills (AMPS), and Useful Field of View (UFOV ®) were also compared with driving outcomes. Design: Counterbalancing testing order of simulated driving and on-road driving of two unfamiliar routes yielded eight conditions. Participants: Participants were 24 volunteer drivers, ages 18-45 years. Methods: Each participant was assessed by the clinical assessments, navigated via printed directions on the driving simulator, and drove two routes on the road using either GPS guidance and printed directions. Driving performance was measured by the same evaluator using the same measuring tool. Analysis: Driving performance were compared with box plots, scatter plots, and a paired t-test with a 95% confidence interval. Clinical assessment scores were compared to driving scores on the simulator and on-road assessments using scatter plots. The two independent sample t-tests comparing groups defined by order was not statistically significant (p=.734; p=.805; p=.690). Results: The means of scores of participants wayfinding on road with GPS were significantly better than when using printed directions (p = .024; 95% CI = 1.58-20.7 points). Nineteen of 24 participants had better driving performance scores when using GPS. For participants using printed directions, the difference in mean scores for those driving in the simulator compared to on-road was not statistically significant (p=0.058). Outcomes of the clinical assessments did not have a strong relationship with any driving performance. Discussion: Performance using a GPS for wayfinding results in improved driving performance over printed directions. Overall, driving performance during wayfinding on an interactive driving simulator was similar to on-road driving performance, although there was individual variation. Limitations included a homogenous group of healthy participants and the driving simulator wayfinding was not a duplication of the on road route. This study suggests that wayfinding can be evaluated on an interactive driving simulator, offering opportunity for assessment of multiple client factors in a controlled environment and potentially reduce the number of individuals who need to proceed to an on road evaluation. It…

▼ This research develops an optimization model for eco-driving at signalized intersection. In urban areas, signalized intersections are the ?hot spots? of air emissions and have significant negative environmental and health impacts. Eco-driving is a strategy which aims to reduce exclusive fuel consumption and emissions by modifying or optimizing drivers? behaviors. With the help of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2I), eco-driving could utilize the signal phase and the queue-discharging time information to optimize the speed trajectories for the vehicles approaching an intersection in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. A few research studies have been conducted on the development of algorithms that utilize traffic signal information to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Hence, the goal of this research is to develop an optimization model to determine the optimal eco-driving trajectory (the speed profile) at a signalized intersection, which aims to achieve the minimization of a linear combination of emissions and travel time. Then enumeration method, simplex optimization and genetic algorithm are investigated to determine a practicable and efficient method to solve the proposed optimization problem. As various scenarios of distance from the vehicle to the intersection, queue discharging time and weights of emission/travel time will lead to different optimal trajectories and different emissions and travel times. A sensitivity study is conducted to analyze and compare the performance of the optimal solution in various scenarios of different such parameters. In addition, a baseline study is conducted to investigate the benefits of eco-driving when drivers only decelerate in advance but not apply the recommended speed trajectory. The results of case study show that genetic algorithm is a preferred method to solve the proposed optimization problem; Eco-driving could achieve satisfied reduction in emissions without significantly increasing travel time and emissions is more sensitive to various scenarios than travel time; Eco-driving still could achieve reduction in emissions as long as the drivers decelerate earlier even though the they would not apply the recommended speed trajectory under certain conditions.

▼ Due to the changing society in Taiwan, R.O.C., values are badly twisted. Many teenagers make use of holiday nights to gather on highways to conduct dangerous driving (motorcycle racing). They cause traffic jams and obstruct traffic notoriously. What's worse, they even use violence to attack passengers, on-duty policemen and related government offices. Such behaviors not only break the law but also critically endanger social public security, posing threat to people's lives, bodies and properties. As police plays a role of maintaining social public security, the crackdowns and control of dangerous driving behaviors are important duties exercised by police. Dangerous driving control projects mainly adopt a "top-down" policy implementation model. The model emphasizes policy makers' decisions on policy goals and their leading position in directing actions. Basically, policy implementers are required to execute policy makers' will, that is, carry out supervisors' intentions and goals loyally in a strictly obedient top-down bureaucratic system. The model on one hand emphasizes a closely linked chain of orders and supervisors' control abilities; on the other hand, it advocates policy makers' reasonable design of policy implementation structure and regulations. Besides, the adoption of top-down implementation model usually emphasizes supervisors' goal-setting and project-planning abilities and overlooks lower-level implementers' motives, intentions and values. As it underestimates local officials' abilities in influencing policy goals, would it neglect a counterproductive effect exerted by policy implementers? While emphasizing laws and regulations, does it provide implementers with any discretion? Could it become a policy implementation game? As regards the bottom-up implementation model, it addresses the need of providing lower-level officials or local implementation organizations with discretion, which enables them to make suitable policies against a complicated environment. This means proper authorization for lower-level departments and subordinates to participate in policy making and implementation. In the model, supervisors or policy makers are not policy leaders but rather supporters who leave sufficient room for discretion so lower-level officials or local implementation organizations can construct a policy implementation process adaptable to the implementation environment. In such thinking mode and from the aspect of policy implementation, the study tries to examine and evaluate police organizations' dangerous driving control policies. A case study of the police organizations in Kaohsiung City was conducted. Based on a policy implementation theory constructed from three research approaches - top-down model of the first generation, bottom-up model of the second generation and integrated model of the third generation, the study made a comprehensive survey of the three research approaches and used it as the research method of the study. The main structure of the study is divided into five chapters: Chapter One -… Advisors/Committee Members: Po-wen Cheng (chair), Chia-yon Chen (chair), Ping-cheng Li (committee member), Chyi-Lu Jang (committee member).

▼ Drunk driving continues to be a national, state, and local problem in spite of recent changes in laws governing drinking and driving. Driving under the influence of intoxicants (DDII) has been judged to be responsible for approximately one-half of all traffic related deaths nationally, killing 25,000 Americans and injuring 700,000 annually. Not all individuals who drink are problem drivers, and not all individuals who drink and drive continue to do so after their first DUII offense. Yet, there appears to be a percentage of drinking drivers who habitually drink and drive and continue to do so regardless of previous citations, arrests, accidents, alcohol treatment rehabilitation programs, or license revocation. The purpose of this study was to identify biographical variables, as well as descriptive factors of arrest circumstances and consequences, which differentiate between drinking drivers grouped by total number of DUII offenses. The sample consisted of 397 drivers receiving one or more citation(s) for DUII from January 1, 1983 through December 31, 1983 in Benton County, Oregon. A ten year driving history was accessed using records kept by the Department of Motor Vehicles to determine the total number of drinking driving offenses for each subject. Additionally, DUII arrests occuring January 1, 1984 through July 24, 1985 were recorded. The percentage of drivers with multiple DUII arrests was 44.0%. Data were collected for each individual using arrest reports, driving records, and court records. A total of 25 biographic, driving, criminal history, circumstantial, and consequential characteristics constituted independent and predictor variables. Significant differences were found among drinking drivers grouped by total number of DUIIs and by recidivist vs. nonrecidivist status. Recidivist drinking drivers were not found to be a homogeneous group. Significant differences were found between drivers with multiple drinking and driving offenses. This study found that chronic repeat drinking and driving offenders (32 arrests) tended to be slightly older than other groups of drinking drivers, were more likely to be unemployed and have a past criminal record. Additionally, they were more likely than nonrecidivists to be arrested for drinking and driving on a weekday during afternoon and early evening hours, drive with a suspended or revoked drivers license, and refuse a blood alcohol determination test when arrested. It was also found that recidivist drinking drivers tended to have fewer nonmoving and moving traffic violations than drivers with one or two DUII arrests. The group of drinking drivers with the highest percentage of accidents associated with their 1983 DUII arrest were nonrecidivists. It was concluded that that significant differences exist among drinking drivers when grouped by the number of DUII violations. Advisors/Committee Members: Smith, Margaret M. (advisor), Evans, Tom (committee member).

viii, [89] leaves, bound ill. 29 cm

The ability to avoid collisions is essential for survival. Diminished avoidance abilities among older adults and those under age 12 may account for the disproportionately high number of older individuals and children involved in pedestrian-vehicle collisions (Choueiri, E. M, Choueiri, G. M, Choueiri, B. M., 1993); (Kingma, J., 1994); (Mathey, F.J.,1983). The growing number of traffic-related fatalities underscores the need to attain a better understanding of collision avoidance response skill changes across the life span and the need to develop systems for screening and assessing individual collision avoidance skills. The primary objective of the parent research was to develop a battery of tests and to examine the relationships between sensory, attention, cognition and motor skills with collision avoidance ability. The degree of skill exhibited by an individual in avoiding automobile collisions in the simulator is expected to be a useful indicator of his/her ability to perform other related complex vehicle-maneuvering tasks such as those required for automobile operation. The purpose of this thesis project was to develop a simulated collision avoidance testing (SCAT) apparatus and procedure and conduct a pilot study to examine the SCAT system sensitivity to age and sex differences of the vehicle operator, particularly with respect to intra-task manipulations of visibility, event uncertainty, and type of evasive maneuver. One hundred and six healthy functional volunteers served as participants. These volunteers have 19 (6-19 years) participants in the young group; 43 (20-59 years) participants in the adult group, and 44 (60-74+ years) participants in the senior group. Five sets of tasks were performed: (1) Simulated Collision Avoidance Task with overall measures including crash frequency and crash severity;(2) Sensory Integrity tests (vision, hearing, and health questionnaires); (3) Information Processing Tasks including reaction time and movement time tests; (4)Tasks of Everyday Attention and Cognition (TEAC): Visual Elevator Test (attention switching), Trails B Test (visual search), Telephone Directory Search Test (visual search), and Telephone Number Dialing Test (short-term memory); and (5) Movement Control Tasks: Grip Strength Test (strength), Balance Test (balance), Gross Motor (Fitts Tapping Test), Needle Threading Test (fine motor skill), Bow Tying Test (fine motor skill), and Tweezer Transfer Test (fine motor skill). The total time per test session was 90-120 minutes. Only the simulator results are presented in this thesis. Overall results for the SCAT showed significant differences in crash frequency ratio and crash severity as a function of age, sex, uncertainty and maneuver. Visibility was only marginally significant. The effects of age depended on level of task such that the senior group had a significantly higher crash frequency and severity than the other age groups for uncertain scenarios, while differences between other age groups were not significantly different…

▼ Statistics show that drunk driving is a significant problem in the United States. The purpose of this study was to assess the recidivism rate of DUI/DWI offenders who have been placed on probation for an earlier DUI/DWI conviction. This study looked at those factors that contribute to recidivism among this population such as age, gender, race, demographics and the number of prior arrests. The study employed a secondary analysis of data and the sample consisted of 505 DUI/DWI offenders who were on probation in the State of Connecticut. Of the 505 probationers, 6% received a probation violation in the first six months of their probation sentence. The only demographic factor related to violations was employment status; probationers with long periods of unemployment were most likely to receive a probation violation. Gender, race, and amount of education were not related to recidivism yet prior substance abuse treatment was related to recidivism. Probationers who had been in treatment five or more times were likely to receive a probation violation. Last, prior failure to appear charges for not showing up for court and high Level of Service Inventory (revised) risk assessment scores were most correlated with probation violations. This study found that DUI/DWI offenders who recidivated in the first six months of their probation were more often unemployed, had several stays in substance abuse treatment, had already missed court dates, and had an array social/personal needs. These findings support other research on DUI/DWI offenders that recommend a blended version of supervision and treatment. Also, more consideration should be given for a variety of treatment for high needs offenders. Rather than simply refer DUI/DWI offenders to outpatient treatment, judges and probation officers should consider conducting more thorough risk assessments at the beginning of offenders’ probation sentence and place probationers in more needs-specific treatment.

▼ The overall objective of the graduation project ‘Economic Driving’ was to generate a more economic driving style of truck drivers in order to meet the desire of clients of DAF and create improvements in terms of traffic flow, safety and decrease in harm brought to the environment. ‘Economic Driving’ should be in benefit of both the client of DAF; the fleet company, as well as the user group; truck drivers. From this perspective the Vision in Product (ViP) design method was used (Hekkert 2001, Lloyd 2006) in executing a thorough deconstruction of the subject domain and creating a vision and mission statement used in the design process. This process consisted of a 2020 scenario and mid-term intermediate design of 2017 and short-term design of 2013. Deconstruction Anticipation can be considered as a key element in performing an economic driving style. Anticipation refers to adequate adaptation to the upcoming traffic situation. Almost every single cause of an inefficient driving style or action is due to a lack of anticipation. In both truck driver interviews as well the observational research studies anticipation also proved to be a key element within economic driving, though, it was observed or mentioned a lack of anticipation occurs due to the infrastructure as well as the act of other road participants. The infrastructure as well as other road users negatively influenced the anticipation due to abrupt changes and fluctuating behavior. These behaviors, such as changing traffic lights and unexpected driving styles of others, result in abrupt behavior of truck drivers as well, causing uneconomic driving. Therefore it can be concluded both vehicle 2 vehicle (V2V) as well as infrastructure to vehicle (I2V) consist of a lack of cooperation causing a decrease in traffic flow, economy, safety and tranquility (Lämmer 2008). Although economic driving is dependent on the overall driving style in terms of vehicle operation, the aim was to improve the cause of uneconomic driving, instead of focusing on the driver, who is not always capable of predicting the upcoming situation. This aim corresponds to the research results of Nestler (2008) who claims that in order to anticipate properly, the driver requires information on the upcoming traffic situation. Mission statement Truck driving will be under severe pressure in the future and is negatively influenced in terms of governmental legislation, superior force and society. The growing unpopularity of truck driving has to be reversed into positivity and advantages. Truck drivers should experience control and freedom during their daily work routine by having clarity in traffic anticipation. Truck drivers will become more united and loyal to their truck and their profession and will build respect and recognition of other road participants and colleague truck drivers by executing a leadership role on the road. Two items that will be changed are on one hand the unappreciated and disrespected feeling of truck drivers and on the other hand the mostly biased negative image of… Advisors/Committee Members: Hekkert, P.P.M., Kuijer, S.C..

▼ This thesis reports three experiments investigating how age-related declines in visual motion processing affect older drivers’ ability to drive safely. In particular, these experiments assess the efficacy of: 1) A test of motion sensitivity, the Peripheral Motion Contrast Threshold (PMCT) test, which evaluates ones’ contrast threshold for detecting motion in the periphery, and 2) the 3D multiple-object tracking test (3D MOT), which evaluates the maximum stimulus speed at which one can maintain visual attention on several objects moving in three dimensions. Two versions of the PMCT test—the PMCT-10 and the shorter PMCT-2—were employed. Driving safety was measured via a high fidelity driving simulator, in addition to several self-report measures and archival data. Study 1 showed that PMCT-2 and PMCT-10 thresholds were associated with number of crashes in the simulator and other indices of unsafe driving. Study 2 examined whether the PMCT-2 could predict older driver performance during a different set of simulated driving scenarios, and whether it was associated retrospectively with real world crash rates. PMCT-2 results were significantly correlated with simulated crash risk. Moreover, Study 2 provided the first evidence that PMCT scores are associated with real-world crash, albeit in a small retrospective sample. Study 3 examined the relationship between results from both the PMCT-2 and 3D MOT tests and simulated driving. Multiple object tracking has previously been associated with older drivers' performance. Results showed a strong relationship in our sample between crash rates and 3D MOT results. However, we failed to replicate the results showing a relationship between PMCT and crash occurrence. This may have been due to high rates of subject attrition due to simulator sickness, which resulted in a small final sample. Overall, findings from the three studies demonstrate that results from PMCT and 3D MOT are associated with older drivers’ performance measures, such as crash rates, dangerous lane deviations, and speeding. These findings support visual motion processing measures as viable candidates for inclusion in a multi-domain assessment of older drivers’ fitness to drive.

The work derives and evaluates safety-critical scenarios at road junctions, which can pose a particular safety problem involving automated cars. A simulation and evaluation framework for car-to-car accidents is presented and demonstrated, which allows examining the safety performance of automated driving systems within those scenarios. Given the recent advancements in automated driving functions, one of the main challenges is safe and efficient operation in complex traffic situations such as road junctions. There is a need for comprehensive testing, either in virtual testing environments or on real-world test tracks. Since it is unrealistic to cover all possible combinations of traffic situations and environment conditions, the challenge is to find the key driving situations to be evaluated at junctions. Against this background, a novel method to derive critical pre-crash scenarios from historical car accident data is presented. It employs k-medoids to cluster historical junction crash data into distinct partitions and then applies the association rules algorithm to each cluster to specify the driving scenarios in more detail. The dataset used consists of 1,056 junction crashes in the UK, which were exported from the in-depth On-the-Spot database. The study resulted in thirteen crash clusters for T-junctions, and six crash clusters for crossroads. Association rules revealed common crash characteristics, which were the basis for the scenario descriptions. As a follow-up to the scenario generation, the thesis further presents a novel, modular framework to transfer the derived collision scenarios to a sub-microscopic traffic simulation environment. The software CarMaker is used with MATLAB/Simulink to simulate realistic models of vehicles, sensors and road environments and is combined with an advanced Monte Carlo method to obtain a representative set of parameter combinations. The analysis of different safety performance indicators computed from the simulation outputs reveals collision and near-miss probabilities for selected scenarios. The usefulness and applicability of the simulation and evaluation framework is demonstrated for a selected junction scenario, where the safety performance of different in-vehicle collision avoidance systems is studied. The results show that the number of collisions and conflicts were reduced to a tenth when adding a crossing and turning assistant to a basic forward collision avoidance system. Due to its modular architecture, the presented framework can be adapted to the individual needs of future users and may be enhanced with customised simulation models. Ultimately, the thesis leads to more efficient workflows when virtually testing automated driving at intersections, as a complement to field operational tests on public roads.
