Investigating the Relationship Between Latent Driving Patterns and Traffic Safety Using Smartphone-Based Mobile Sensor Data

INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LATENT DRIVING PATTERNS AND TRAFFIC SAFETY USING SMARTPHONE-BASED MOBILE SENSOR DATA Kenneth Wynne Old Dominion University, 2016 Director: Dr. Rajesh Paleti Crash frequency modelling has been used in the past as an attempt to quantify the expected number of crashes occurring on a certain segment of roadway given a set of variables and factors describing th...

Online trajectory data reduction using connection-preserving dead reckoning

Moving objects databases (MODs) store objects’ trajectories by spatiotemporal polylines that approximate the actual movements given by sequences of sensed positions. Determining such a polyline with as few vertices as possible under the constraint that it does not deviate by more than a certain accuracy bound from the sensed positions is an algorithmic problem known as trajectory reduction. A s...

LETTER FROM THE GUEST EDITORS Driving Behavior and Traffic Safety in Traffic Engineering

Road safety has been internationally recognized as a primary strategic goal in many societies and involves road user, vehicle and environment elements in a systematic manner. The element of road users represents all aspects of human factors, such as user age, gender, health condition, personality, alcohol use, distraction, driving experience, etc. The vehicle element includes vehicle type, size...

Using GPS Data to Understand Driving Behavior

Drugs of abuse, driving and traffic safety.

Roadside studies indicate that 1-15% of drivers drive under the influence of one or more drugs of abuse. After drug use, drivers are more often culpable for an accident than non-users. Information on drugs and traffic safety comes from roadside studies, epidemiological research, experimental studies on driving-related skills, and on-the-road driving tests. Road-side studies show that drivers mo...
