  2. 1. Driving Violations Investigating Forms of Irrational Rationality

    University dissertation from Uppsala : Universitetsbiblioteket

    Author : Sonja Forward; Lars Åberg; Dianne Parker; [2008]
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; theory of planned behaviour; driving violations; risk-taking; speeding; dangerous overtaking; SOCIAL SCIENCES Social sciences Psychology; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP Socialvetenskap Psykologi;

    Abstract : Several aspects contribute to road crashes and one important part is the ‘human factor’. This information is interesting but insufficient unless we also try to understand what is meant by the term. READ MORE

  4. 2. Driving assessment and driving behaviour

    University dissertation from Jönköping : School of Health Sciences

    Author : Helena Selander; Torbjörn Falkmer; [2012]
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : IntroductionDriving is an important part of everyday life and represents independence. Activities, both productive and social, may be affected if a person can no longer drive. Older drivers, as a group, have a low crash rate. READ MORE

  5. 3. Safe Transitions to Manual Driving From Faulty Automated Driving System

    University dissertation from Jönköping : School of Health Sciences

    Author : Josef Nilsson; [2014]

    Abstract : This thesis presents a method to assess the safety of transitions from automated to manual driving when vehicle automation fails. The method is based on contributions to the understanding of human driving behavior, also presented in this thesis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Traffic Situation Management for Driving Automation of Articulated Heavy Road Transports - From driver behaviour towards highway autopilot

    University dissertation from Gothenburg : Chalmers tekniska högskola

    Author : Peter Nilsson; [2017]
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; driver model; driving simulator; driving principles; driving automation; vehicle model; articulated heavy-vehicles; vehicle dynamics; long combination vehicles;

    Abstract : In this thesis traffic situation management for driving automation of long combination vehicles is discussed. The automation targets high-speed driving in multiple-lane, one-way roads. Traffic situation predictions, traffic situation manoeuvres and driving principles are studied specifically. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the Relations between Driving Patterns, Exhaust Emissions and Network Characteristics in Urban Driving

    University dissertation from Department of Technology and Society, Lund University

    Author : Lena Smidfelt-Rosqvist; [2003]
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; traffic calming; intersections; driving adaptation; speed limits; Road transport technology; driving behaviour; Vägtransportteknik; overall effects; trip-long; non-local effects;

    Abstract : The planning and design of street networks in cities influence driving behaviour and give rise to variations in driving patterns (i.e., speed and acceleration profiles) that affect exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. READ MORE
