متن کاملPhone use and crashes while driving: A representative survey of drivers in two Australian states.
OBJECTIVE To explore the use and effects of using mobile phones while driving. DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. SETTING New South Wales and Western Australia, 20 October to 7 November 2003. PARTICIPANTS 1347 licensed drivers aged 18 to 65 years. Data were weighted to reflect the corresponding driving population in each state. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Mobile phone use while driving (hand-held...
متن کاملInternal validation of near-crashes in naturalistic driving studies: a continuous and multivariate approach.
Large naturalistic driving studies give extremely detailed insight into how traffic accidents happen and what causes them. However, even in very large studies there are only relatively few crashes. Hence one additionally selects and studies crash surrogates, so called "near-crashes", i.e. situations when a crash almost happened. The selection procedures invariably entail severe risks of causing...
متن کاملCrashes and crash-surrogate events: exploratory modeling with naturalistic driving data.
There is a need to extend and refine the use of crash surrogates to enhance safety analyses. This is particularly true given opportunities for data collection presented by naturalistic driving studies. This paper connects the original research on traffic conflicts to the contemporary literature concerning crash surrogates using the crash-to-surrogate ratio, π. A conceptual structure is develope...
متن کاملGasoline prices and their relationship to drunk-driving crashes.
This study investigates the relationship between changing gasoline prices and drunk-driving crashes. Specifically, we examine the effects of gasoline prices on drunk-driving crashes in Mississippi by several crash types and demographic groups at the monthly level from 2004 to 2008, a period experiencing great fluctuation in gasoline prices. An exploratory visualization by graphs shows that high...
