Analysis of Aggressive Driving Using a Driving Simulator
As aggressive driving mainly caused speed-related crashes, aggressive driving must be prevented to improve road safety by identifying aggressive drivers and understand their characteristics and external factors associated with their behaviours. Thus, it is important to investigate relationships …

Modeling Driving Risk Using Naturalistic Driving Study Data
… contemporary statistical modeling techniques on driving risk research on Naturalistic Driving Study data. The dissertation includes 5 chapters. In Chapter 1, I introduced the backgrounds of traffic safety research and naturalistic driving study. In Chapter 2, the state-of-practice statistical …

Characterizing Human Driving Behavior Through an Analysis of Naturalistic Driving Data
… be divided into two groups: identifying risky driving behavior prior to crashes to proactively reduce risk and automating some or all human driving tasks using intelligent vehicle systems such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving Systems (ADS). For successful …

Driving Simulation for Interaction
… a wide range of scenarios before autonomous driving technology is deployed to the public. The advent of autonomous vehicles creates new challenges for driving simulation: user experience, non-driving related tasks, and driver-driver interactions become more relevant. Given the new challenges …

Modeling human driving behavior
The goal of this thesis paper is to explore models that can predict and anticipate driver behaviors on the road and give probabilities on future actions of neighboring vehicles, while being lightweight enough to be formally verifiable. This thesis starts with looking into related work and doing a …

Integrating driving behavior modeling
A framework for integrated driving behavior modeling, based on the concepts of short-term goal and short-term plan is proposed. Drivers are assumed to conceive and perform short-term plans in order to accomplish short-term goals. This behavioral framework captures drivers' planning capabilities and …

Examining the Effect of Driving Experience on Teenage Driving Ability with Secondary Tasks
… examined the relationship between experience and driving performance with secondary tasks. Data were collected from 42 teenage drivers and their parents using an instrumented vehicle for two one hour test track sessions spaced 12 months apart. For part of the sessions, participants followed a lead …

Autonomous aggressive driving: theory & experiments
… this dissertation intends to understand expert driving maneuvers in different scenarios such as highway overtaking and off-road rally racing, which are referred to as ``aggressive'' driving in the context of this dissertation. By mimicking expert driving styles, one expects to be able to improve …

Mind wandering during everyday driving
… consequences during routine activities such as driving are unclear. This thesis comprises five studies investigating how often drivers’ minds wander, and the relationship between mind wandering and crash risk. The first study was a questionnaire completed by 502 drivers, to explore their …

Driving performance in mild dementia
The automobile driving performance of 18 mildly demented subjects was compared to that of 18 normal elderly and 18 mid-age controls. Driving tasks were grouped according to a three-level hierarchical model that characterizes driving as a problem solving skill involving (a) low-level vehicle control …

Dynamic analyses of pile driving
… approaches to the dynamic analyses of pile driving are explored in this Thesis. These include pile driving formulae, single degree of freedom (SDOF) models, the wave equation approach and a finite element model. In the elementary models, the pile is modelled as a rigid mass while the soil is …

Cytoskeletal Networks Driving Presynaptic Plasticity
… the recycling of synaptic vesicles, thereby driving a form of plasticity known as short-term depression. I also showed that this mechanism is conserved between excitatory and inhibitory synapses, demonstrating it is a fundamental aspect of presynaptic function. Finally, I conducted a series …

Deviant driving behaviour : an epidemiological study
… is based on an epidemiological study of deviant driving behaviour. The data collection phase implemented a self-report survey to capture data on deviant driving behaviour. The study seeks to establish: • Differences between deviant driving behaviour and respondents' demographic characteristics: …

UniNet: A mixed reality driving simulator
Driving simulators play an important role in vehicle research. However, existing virtual reality simulators do not give users a true sense of presence. UniNet is our driving simulator, designed to allow users to interact with and visualize simulated traffic in mixed reality. It is powered by SUMO …
