Identifying Functional Relationships in Driver Risk Taking: An Intelligent Transportation Assessment of Problem Behavior and Driving Style
… during consecutive 15 second intervals of a driving trial, and b) the safe alternative when a safe behavior opportunity was available. Methods of data coding were assessed for practical use, reliability, and sensitivity to variation in driving style. A factor analysis of at-risk driving …

Attentional Control in Young Drivers: Does Training Help or Hinder Bottom-Up Processing in a Dynamic Driving Environment?
… hazards on the road is a critical skill for safe driving, one that many young and novice drivers lack. Training programs are shown to improve hazard anticipation performance in young drivers, but whether these training effects persist in the presence of salient and potentially distracting …

Cluster-based target tracking in vehicular ad hoc networks
… Transportation System (ITS), including safe driving, entertainment, emergency response, and content sharing. Another potential application for VANET lies in vehicle tracking, where a tracking system is used to visually track a specific vehicle or to monitor a particular area. In this …

Cooperative Perception in Autonomous Ground Vehicles using a Mobile Robot Testbed
… information sharing for cooperative autonomous driving. Cooperative Perception is proposed among vehicles, where every vehicle is transformed into a moving sensor platform that is capable of sharing information collected using its on-board sensors. This helps extend the line of sight and field …

Falls risk and driving performance in older adults
… an important role in real-world tasks such as driving. Safe driving relies on the ability to allocate attention and perform multiple tasks concurrently. Declines in executive function and dual-task performance have been related to falls in older adults, and recent research suggests that older …

Transfer of Skill From a Computer -Based Training Program to Driving in a Simulated Environment
… of drivers over 70 increases, older drivers' safety becomes more of an issue for them and the drivers on the road with them. Working memory, visual attention, decision making, manual control and other cognitive abilities are involved in safe driving. Age-related declines in these abilities may …

Dynamical Phase-Change Phenomena
… from the vehicle in front of them to ensure safe driving. When vehicles come to a stop, for example at a red light, drivers voluntarily induce a ``phase transition'' from this ``liquid phase'' to a close-packed ``solid phase''. This phase transition is motivated by the intuition that …

Exploring the Driver's Situation Awareness in a Dynamic Traffic Environment
Safe driving requires effective monitoring, representing, and updating of the changing situation. This dissertation aims to study drivers' situation awareness of roadway traffic in the dynamic driving environment, in particular, their awareness of vehicles' spatial information and other properties. …

Visibility improvements through information provision regarding sun glare : a case study in Cape Town
Vision is inarguably a fundamental component of safe driving. Any obscurity in a driver’s vision can impose a threat to roadway safety due to interference with the driving task. Sun Glare is a hazard that few people anticipate. The sun is most potent to drivers when it is low in the sky on the …

Leaching of metals and metalloids from highway marking glass beads and the potential environmental impact
… role in the lighting-up effect needed for safe driving. Elevated metal and metalloid concentrations of As, Sb, and Pb have recently been observed in imported glass beads. The main objective of this research was to assess the environmental impact associated with applying these imported glass …

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 …

Development of a remotely-controlled electric vehicle with characterization of the ground grip
… although previous research generally relies on driving manoeuvres at the limit of adhesion to obtain meaningful information about the maximum grip offered by the ground. This is not suitable during safe driving on public roads and the present thesis addresses the problem of constantly monitoring …
