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: …

Individual and group differences in driving behaviour
… male drivers assessed their personal risk and driving abilities less realistically than did other age and sex groups. Driving simulator-based methods reported in chapter 4 revealed that young drivers and male drivers; drive faster, overtake more often, and commit more `high risk' overtakes than …

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 …

A Practical Deep Learning Approach to Detect Aggressive Driving Behaviour
Accidents while driving might result in minor injuries. Alternatively, it might result in a loss of life, which is highly detrimental to society. The loss of an expert due to fatalities can have a tremendous influence on humanity's scientific growth. Three factors can lead to accidents on the road: …

Assessment of the Effects of Road Geometry on Irish Accident Rates and Driving Behaviour
… The second experiment then examines driver behaviour on road segments that also contain bad bends using a purpose built driving simulator. This experiment is ‘driver centric’ as it measures behaviour such as eye movement. Both experiments examine contrasting Irish roadways with an aim to …

Factors influencing driving in older age : an application of the theory of planned behaviour
… factors that may be related to dependency on driving and decisions to continue or ceased riving in older age. Some older drivers may be unsafe to drive (Drachman & Swearer, 1993), but are unwilling to cease, this can result in referrals to mental health services. The potential influence of …

The Psychology of Driving on Rural Roads
… inherent properties but also their effect on behaviour. Gert Weller develops a psychological model for driving on rural roads which is validated in three empirical steps: laboratory, simulator and driving experiments. His results provide insight into the possibilities of how driving behaviour …

Modelling the driver for traffic flow simulation
… explored an alternative method of formulating driving models. It started from a psychological basis and used fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic provided a systematic way of handling imprecision, and its constructs allowed a more intuitive model of driving, one more closely resembling the thinking and …

A machine learning approach to predict emotional arousal and aggressive driving from EDA and heart rate signals
Aggressive driving behaviors, such as sudden acceleration and hard braking, abrupt steering, significantly increase the risk of road accidents, especially among young drivers. This study aims to predict aggressive driving behavior and emotional arousal using physiological signals, Electrodermal …

A brain-machine interface for investigating neural representations of navigation in a virtual environment
Simultaneously recording behaviour and neural activity can only take researchers so far in understanding the function of different regions of the brain, and the neurons therein. Novel methods are required for probing further beyond standard correlational and knockout analysis. The activity of one …

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 …

Understanding How Built Environment Impacts Driving Behaviours of Older Adults
Driving is the most common mode of transportation for older adults. While recent advancements in technology in sensors and GPS have made it possible to study driving in naturalistic everyday settings, the impact of the built environment on older adults' driving behaviours has not been explored. …

Traffic accidents in Saudi Arabia: a study of their causes and association with driver behaviour, with specific reference to the eastern region
… an accident, and questions analysing habitual driving behaviour. Drivers were also tested on their knowledge of road signs. Returns were received from 484 drivers, 81% of the study sample.Two statistical techniques, chi square and correlation coefficient Spearman Brown formula, were utilised to …

Investigating Tafheet as a Unique Driving Style Behaviour
… on the detection of different styles of behaviour such as fatigue and drunken behaviour of the drivers; however, owing to complexity of human behaviour, a lot has yet to be explored in this field to assess different styles of the abnormal behaviour to make roads safer for travelling. This …

Essays in Experimental Economics
… and employs experimental methods to study human behaviour. Chapter 1 presents a framed interactive online experiment conducted on Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) during the first COVID-19 lockdown. The experiment studies social distancing using a repeated game where subjects interact in groups of …

Context Aware Drivers' Behaviour Detection System for VANET
… with the aim of providing an intelligent driving environment that will offer road users more pleasant journeys. VANET safety applications are considered to represent a vital step towards improving road safety and enhancing traffic efficiency, as a consequence of their capacity to share …

The consideration of future consequences: scale dimensionality and domain specificity
… immediate versus future outcomes of present-day behaviour, and the extent to which they are influenced by these potential outcomes. The construct is measured using a 14-item scale, which consists of seven items assessing concern for future outcomes of behaviour and seven items measuring concern …

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 …

Evaluating and understanding how interventions work to encourage shifts towards active travel
… are more effective at either reducing driving or increasing active travel than carrot-only interventions. I also find that interventions seeking to influence driving behaviour using financial means or active travel by modifying access, safety, and space are more impactful than others. …
