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 …

Relationship Between Driver Characteristics, Nighttime Driving Risk Perception, and Visual Performance under Adverse and Clear Weather Conditions and Different Vision Enhancement Systems
… where a variety of modifiers affect the risk of a crash, primarily through the reduction of object visibility. Furthermore, many of these modifiers also affect the nighttime mobility of older drivers, who avoid driving during the nighttime. Thus, a two-fold need exists for new …

The Impact of Sleep Disorders on Driving Safety - Findings from the SHRP2 Naturalistic Driving Study
… between seven types of sleep disorder and driving risk using large-scale naturalistic driving study data involving more than 3,400 participants. Regression analyses revealed that females with restless leg syndrome or sleep apnea and drivers with insomnia, shift work sleep disorder, or …

The Relationship of Early Class Start Times on Sleepiness and Driving Behaviors in an Emerging Adult Population
… week and have been related to increased crash risk. The current study extends this finding to teenage and emerging adult college students. The author examined the link between sleepiness and teenage driving behaviors, including the relationship between school start times and sleepiness. In all, …

A Qualitative Pilot Study Of Aging Women’s Physical Activity Experiences In One University Fitness And Wellness Center
<p>Physical inactivity is one of the driving risk factors for developing health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases (World Health Organization, 2003). The prevalence of these diseases increases with the aging process, which renders participation in physical activity …

Recurrent-Event Models for Change-Points Detection
The driving risk of novice teenagers is the highest during the initial period after licensure but decreases rapidly. This dissertation develops recurrent-event change-point models to detect the time when driving risk decreases significantly for novice teenager drivers. The dissertation consists of …

Awareness of deficits and on-road driving performance among persons with acquired brain injury
… relationship of neuropsychological and on-road driving evaluations among adults with acquired brain injury (ABI), and the extent to which that relationship is moderated by awareness of deficit. Awareness of deficit may partly explain mixed findings regarding the relationship between cognitive …

Evaluating Time-varying Effect in Single-type and Multi-type Semi-parametric Recurrent Event Models
… question of evaluating the influence of crash on driving risk and driver behavior. The methodologies developed, however, are general and can be applied to other fields. Four alternative approaches based on various data settings are elaborated and applied to 100-Car Naturalistic Driving Study in …

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Older Drivers – Mobility, Perception, and Safety
… and/or cognitive abilities that may impact driving safety. As older drivers become more self-aware of these functional deficits, they have the tendency to engage in self-regulation practices, such as less driving and avoiding challenging driving situations. This tendency may gradually evolve …

Characterizing Human Driving Behavior Through an Analysis of Naturalistic Driving Data
… can 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 …

Investigating the Roles of Time Perspective and Emerging Adulthood in Predicting Driving Behavior
… adults</em> 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, …
