Distracted driving includes the following: 1. Any behavior that takes the driver’s eyes off the road (visual distraction). 2. Any behavior that takes the driver’s hands off the steering wheel (manual distraction). 3. Anything that takes the driver’s mind off driving (cognitive distraction). One of the most common forms of distracted driving for teens today is cell phones. Currently, 77% of driv...

A phone survey of 504 teen (age 16-20) and 409 adult (age 25-45) drivers in the US state of Alabama was conducted to examine the relationships among risk perception, positive affect and risky driving. Male drivers reported engaging in risky driving behaviors more frequently than female drivers and teen drivers reported engaging in risky driving behaviors more frequently than adult drivers. Posi...

The causes of traffic crashes are complex and uncertain, among which the risky driving behaviors drivers types road sections in high-crash areas all critical influencing factors. We used ArcGIS software to draw heat maps under different thresholds prevent occurrence accurately effectively according vehicle GPS data urban expressways Jinan City, Shandong Province. This paper studied relationship...

Mostly, microscopic simulation models are calibrated with macroscopic measurement data, like flow and speed, which says nothing about the accuracy of the individual driving behavior of the vehicle – driver combinations. The microscopic online simulator MiOS is extended with a driving behavior model based on equipped vehicle and floating car data. It is designed as a self-learning behavior model.

Autonomous vehicles are one of the most, if not the most, encountered elements in a driving simulator. Their impact on the realism of the simulator is critical. For autonomous vehicles to contribute positively to the realism of the hosting driving simulator, they need to have realistic appearance and, possibly more importantly, realistic behavior. This paper addresses the problem of modeling re...
