Crash Avoidance Database Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
A crash avoidance database structure that is based on driver judgments is proposed. The structure comprises four driving conflict states (low risk, conflict, near crash, and crash) that correspond with advisory warning, crash-imminent warning, and crash mitigation countermeasures. The feasibility of this database structure is investigated by answering two questions: (a) Can the driving states be reliably quantified? and (b) Can the quantified states be used to create a useful crash avoidance database? The feasibility discussion centers on a specific dynamic scenario that involved braking maneuvers by a following vehicle to avoid a rear-end crash with a stopped lead vehicle. The quantification of driver judgment data from a controlled test track study is discussed as a foundation to identify rough quantitative locations for the conflict and near-crash state transitions, and crash data from a driving simulator experiment are used to estimate the crash state boundary. A database of on-road, naturalistic driving data is compared with the controlled experiments to evaluate the results. The method is found to be feasible, and recommendations for further development are presented. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The application of the random regret minimization model to drivers’ choice of crash avoidance maneuvers
This study explores the plausibility of regret minimization as behavioral paradigm underlying the choice of crash avoidance maneuvers. Alternatively to previous studies that considered utility maximization, this study applies the random regret minimization (RRM) model while assuming that drivers seek to minimize their anticipated regret from their corrective actions. The model accounts for driv...

متن کاملOn-scene Determination of Driver Crash Causation and Avoidance Maneuvers in Rear-end Collisions
Rear-end collisions are one of the most frequent crash types in the U.S. Pre-Collision System (PCS) have been developed to mitigate the frequency and severity of rear-end collisions. The potential effectiveness of these systems, however, depends on the driver’s state and their attempted avoidance maneuvers. This study utilized the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey (NMVCCS), a unique...

New technology is appearing in vehicles that increasingly allow them to “know” where they are, their relationships to other vehicles on the road, and whether a crash is imminent. At the same time, and more quickly, drivers are becoming more connected to the world outside their cars through similar advances in electronic technology. The first trend promises to help drivers prevent crashes while ...
