Beyond Scaring Them Straight: Assessing Alternative Measures of Persuasion in Road Safety Campaigns
… underpinning young drivers’ engagement in risky driving. An evaluation of a young driver RSI, found that young males were less likely than young females to report safer attitudes and intentions after attending the RSI. We considered that this may be due to personality characteristics, such …

Investigating the Roles of Time Perspective and Emerging Adulthood in Predicting Driving Behavior
… 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 …

Risk Propensity, Self-Efficacy and Driving Behaviors Among Rural, Off-Duty Emergency Services Personnel
… rural roadways, rural EMS personnel face unique driving challenges that may be exacerbated by the very traits, self-efficacy and risk propensity, that may have initially drawn them to the profession. The purpose of this study was to identify the extent to which rural EMS personnel engage in …

Validity and Reliability Assessment of a Dangerous Driving Self-Report Measure
The Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI) was created to measure drivers' self-reported propensity to drive dangerously (Dula & Ballard, in press). In the early stages of development, the DDDI and each of its subscales (Dangerous Driving Total, Aggressive Driving, Negative Emotional Driving, and …

AI-assisted Anomalous Event Detection for Connected Vehicles
Connected vehicle networks and future autonomous driving systems call for characterization of risky driving events to improve safety applications and autonomous driving features. Precision of driving event characterization (\gls{dec}) systems in connected vehicles has become increasingly important …

The Effect of Peer Presence on Risk Taking Behavior Among Late Adolescents
… risk-taking in a simulated environment involving risky driving behaviors. The study examined the effects of peer presence on risk-taking behavior among late adolescents and explored a potential mechanism of said effect, emotional arousal. Given the salience of peers in the social context of …

Examining Attention, Impulsiveness, and Cognitive Failures in Driving Behaviors
<p>Dangerous driving behaviors are influenced by multiple factors including cognitive processes such as impulse inhibition and attentiveness. Impulsiveness, inattention, and cognitive failures have been linked to other risky behaviors, but a comprehensive evaluation using multiple methods of …

The Development of Reward Sensitivity- Exploring the Role of Culture and Parental Education on Adolescent Development
… A country by country analysis revealed that risky driving in the Stoplight task followed the expected age-pattern in 4 out of the 11 countries (peaking at age 16), and in 3 out of the 11 countries for self-reported sensation seeking (peaking around age 18). However, age trends did not differ …

Stages of driving behaviour change within the Transtheoretical Model (TM)
… the number of older adults who rely primarily on driving as their means of transportation in later life are increasing. Older adults experience changes due to aging and age-related diseases that may put them at increased risk of crashes and other unsafe driving behaviours. Considerable evidence …

Driver Response to Dynamic Message Sign Safety Campaign Messages
Unsafe driving habits increase the severity of roadway accidents. The behaviors that are generally associated with unsafe driving are influenced by drivers and their decision to engage in dangerous habits. In order to solve this problem, Departments of Transportation use roadside safety campaigns. …
