Driver characteristics and states Sample Clauses

Driver characteristics and states. The effects of driver characteristics and states, such as fatigue and distraction, on be- haviour and crash risk belong to the most obvious application areas of ND research. For example, driver distraction was of particular interest in the 100-car study in the U.S.. Just as an illustration, one of the findings there was that in almost 78% of all crashes and in 65% of all near-crashes, the driver had not looked in the direction of the arising conflict preceding the crash or near-crash. Having the eyes off the road for more than two seconds appeared to significantly increase crash and near-crash risk. Performing complex secondary tasks while driving increased the (near-)crash risk by three times and moderate secondary tasks by two times4. In another ND study, also in the U.S., it was found that for truck drivers the behaviour associated with the highest risk was when the drivers’ eyes were drawn away from the road in front of them. The highest risk was found for texting while driving. Drivers who did so were 23 times more likely to be involved in a safety-critical event than if they were not texting. Many other complex tasks also increased risk substantially. As an il- lustration, Table 2.1 presents just a few of the results of this study5.
