Assessing Driver Behavior in the Context of Driving Environment
Driver-related factors have long been an important component in traffic safety. Studies to assess driver behavior and the related safety concerns have primarily used data that does not capture the dynamic nature of driving tasks. The widespread use of naturalistic driving data in recent years allows …

Modification of Driver Behavior Based on Information from Pedestrian Countdown Timers
… intersections. However, there are concerns that drivers view the CDTs when approaching the intersection and use that information to drive more aggressively - an unintended consequence that is detrimental to safety. Pedestrian CDTs have been in use in Lawrence, Kansas for at least three years, and …

Driver Behavior in Car Following - The Implications for Forward Collision Avoidance
… an imminent collision, the system will warn the driver, and, in some cases, can autonomously brake to avoid a crash. However, driver acceptance of the systems is paramount to the effectiveness of a FCAS system. Ideally, FCAS should only deliver an alert or intervene at the last possible moment to …
