Developing an alternative means of assessing speed limits on rural single carriageway roads in Ireland using observed driver behaviour.
… of road under assessment, by capturing actual driver behaviour - the hypothesis being that the derived Safe Profile Velocity (Vsp) reflects what is occurring on the road and simplifies the assessment method in relation to current methodologies like the Speed Assessment Framework, while …

Traffic accidents in Saudi Arabia: a study of their causes and association with driver behaviour, with specific reference to the eastern region
… Through this review, a list of road, vehicle and driver-related variables was selected for investigation in this study.The target population for the study was 4,100 drivers in Eastern Saudi Arabia who had been involved in road accidents in the period. Out of this population, a sample of 600 …

An investigation of driver attitudes towards road safety in Kuwait
… survey to further understand related driver behaviour.<br/>Police accident reports relating to fatality and injury for the year 2002 were collected from the General Investigation Administration at the Ministry of the Interior to obtain an overview of the situation. Human behaviour and …

Stages of driving behaviour change within the Transtheoretical Model (TM)
… risk of crashes and other unsafe driving behaviours. Considerable evidence has demonstrated that some older adults compensate for their declining abilities by voluntarily restricting their own driving to limit exposure to risky driving situations or by stopping driving altogether. Since …

Context Aware Drivers' Behaviour Detection System for VANET
… Designing an accurate and efficient driver behaviour detection system that can detect the abnormal behaviours exhibited by drivers (i.e. drunkenness and fatigue) and alert them may have an impact on the prevention of road accidents. Moreover, using Context-aware systems in vehicles …

Assessment of the Effects of Road Geometry on Irish Accident Rates and Driving Behaviour
… main experiments. The first experiment analyses driver crash data and extracts from it accidents that may have occurred as a result of road segments with bad geometry. A visualisation and analysis of this crash data is presented to better determine the relationship ‘if any’ between road geometry …

On The Development of a Mobile Survey Framework with Dynamic Code Loading
… the correlation between cognitive function and driver behaviour is conducted. It shows the level of automation that can be achieved and, simultaneously validates the system. System tests were used to verify the framework.

Proactive Management Of Lost Bank Cards
… predict or intercept losses through contextual behaviour analysis in real-time. This study proposes a proactive framework using Long-Term Short-Term (LSTM) Autoencoders to address these limitations. A customer profile is built to model expected behaviour, and detect observations that deviate …

Behavioural adaption of drivers of unequipped vehicles to short time headways observed in a vehicle platoon
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are increasingly present within modern vehicles, supporting the introduction of semi- and fully-automated driving situations. As a consequence, a mixed traffic situation is likely to emerge where vehicles equipped with different degrees of automated systems …

A framework for the deployment of traffic safety technologies in Abu Dhabi highways
… in traffic safety technologies, focus more on driver support systems and rapid response systems, improve driver behaviour as a priority in Abu Dhabi highways using traffic safety technologies, and integrate the compatibility of all of the above through an integrated system and specific …

Shaping the future through Artificial Intelligent technologies to reduce vehicle accidents in Abu Dhabi
… that assessed various aspects relating to the driver’s behaviour. The 2007 to 2017 MVC injuries baseline data were also analyzed. Data on TAs control strategies from existing studies were used to assess the artificial intelligent approaches in road safety management. The quantitative data …

Unpacking road safety at a district level - the case of Cape Town, South Africa
… arterials. The dataset also suggested that risky driver behaviour and lighting is a major problem in these zones. From the results, it can be inferred that the prescribed interventions need to target pedestrian fatalities at both an aggregated and a disaggregated level. In the case of the …

Investigating and Characterising the Impact of Vehicle Interfaces on Situation Awareness
… competing goals challenge the act of driving. Drivers may pursue Non-Driving Related Activities (NDRAs), resulting in multitasking. How NDRAs are achieved will depend upon whether In-Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS) are available. If not, alternative means may be taken that could compromise …

Influence of accelerator pedal force feedback on truck drivers' speed control
… making reductions. It is thought that improving driver behaviour offers significant potential for these reductions in fuel consumption and emissions. This thesis considers the use of Active Accelerator Pedals (AAPs) and the potential for improved driver performance that they may offer by …

Mind wandering during everyday driving
… 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 experiences of mind wandering including its variation in different driving contexts. …

Investigation of the road safety measures around schools in Ethekwini
… within a kilometre radius of each other. Child behaviour contributed to 77% of the road traffic crashes. Scholar transport driver behaviour was highlighted as a major contributor to crashes by the respondents and environmental factors that resulted in reduced visibility of the child pedestrian …

The human factors associated with responding to emergency vehicles
… A qualitative study with emergency service drivers and motorists combined with existing literature to provide the basis for the scale development, and the subsequent testing and refinement resulted in the Responding to Emergency Vehicles Scale (REVS). The data obtained throughout development …

In-vehicle speed adaptation - On the effectiveness of a voluntary system
… Pedal (AAP), and its effectiveness for different driver types. The papers making up this thesis are based on a study carried out on 284 vehicles and drivers in the Swedish city of Lund from 1999 until 2002. The results showed that the AAP brought a significant reduction in both mean speed and …

Calibration of a FOSIM Model for a Section of the N2 Freeway in Cape Town: Weaving Section at an Off-Ramp
Driver behaviour differs from person to person depending on the driver's behavioural characteristics, the vehicle used and road geometry. Traffic models must account for this variation in behaviour to properly analyse this complex reality. Typically, the variation is modelled by distinguishing …
