Past research has uncovered personality influences on dangerous driving behavior and vehicle crashes (Furnham & Saipe, 1993; Matthews, Dorn, & Glendon, 1991). Recently, females between 16 and 20 years of age showed an increase in overall crash rate, while males within the same age group showed a decrease in overall crash rate (NHTSA, 2004; NHTSA, 2002). Adolescent and young adult females have b...

Driving behaviors, induced by psychological activities and environment stimulation, impose the dominant impact on vehicle driving performance. To exhaustively improve performance of electric vehicles (EVs), information unscrambled from various behaviors is recommended to be incorporated into controlling process. In this context, a novel method presented regulate torque demand EVs with single pe...

Although long recognized in the clinical literature, problematic behavior characteristic of anxious drivers has received little empirical attention. The current research details development of a measure of anxious driving behavior conducted across three studies. Factor analytic techniques identified three dimensions of maladaptive behaviors across three college samples: anxiety-based performanc...
