  2. 1. Methods for Analysis of Naturalistic Driving Data in Driver Behavior Research

    Author : Jonas Bärgman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; safety benefit evaluation; crash causation; safety measures; automated driving; analysis; naturalistic driving data; driver behavior; counterfactual simulations;

    Abstract : In the last several years, the focus of traffic safety research—especially when performed in association with the automotive industry—has shifted from preventing injury during a crash to avoiding the crash altogether or mitigating its effects. Pre-crash safety measures include intelligent safety systems (e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. DREAM: A Method for Understanding the Causation of Single-Vehicle Crashes

    Author : Jesper Sandin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : driver error; accident model; contributory factors; causation; single-vehicle crashes; case study; pre-crash; accident analysis;

    Abstract : When conducting in-depth causation studies, it is essential that the analysis method can both define and classify contributing factors and be able to analyse how these factors may interact to produce a critical event. These issues are highly influenced by the underlying theory, e.g. the accident model. READ MORE

  5. 3. Understanding and prioritizing crash contributing factors

    Author : Emma Tivesten; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; car safety development; incidents; accident; insurance; mail survey; narrative; driving exposure; nonresponse; Naturalistic driving; crash;

    Abstract : Real world data on driver behavior in normal driving and critical situations are essential for car safety development. Data collection and analysis methods that provide insight into the prevalence of crash contributing factors (e.g. READ MORE

  6. 4. Improving the Evaluation Process for Active Safety Functions

    Author : Mikael Ljung Aust; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Situational Control; Advanced Driver Assistance Systems; Safety Benefit Assessment; Driver Behavior Analysis; Active Safety Systems; Crash Causation Analysis; In-depth Crash Investigation;

    Abstract : The general aim of the present thesis was to improve key steps in the procedure for functional, formative evaluation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Five unresolved theoretical and empirical issues were identified and addressed. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Lateral Stability of Heavy Vehicle Combinations - Linking Accident Analysis and Vehicle Dynamics

    Author : Sogol Kharrazi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Accident Analysis; Vehicle Dynamics; Performance Measures; Lateral Stability Control; Heavy Trucks; Lateral Instability;

    Abstract : One of the hazardous motions of heavy trucks is lateral instability which can be defined as deviation from driver intended path due to skidding of the vehicle. Lateral instability is associated with 9% of heavy trucks involved in traffic accidents, which represents a considerable figure when translated to real accidents. READ MORE
