DRIVING BEHAVIOR AND RELATED PROBLEMS- AND DISCUSSION

THE CONCEPT THAT DIFFERENCES IN DRIVING PATTERNS MAY BE DETERMINED BY ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS INTEGRATED OVER A ROUTE OF SUFFICIENT LENGTH TO REVEAL DIFFERENCES IN DRIVING WAS INVESTIGATED. THE MEASUREING DEVICE USED IN COLLECTION DATA, RECORDS /1/ DRIVER ACTIONS, /2/ VEHICLE MOTIONS, AND /3/ TRAFFIC AND/OR HIGHWAY EVENTS. ALL READINGS ARE IN DIGITS, AND THE DEVICE MAY BE MOUNTED IN A CAR WITHIN A SHORT TIME. IT WAS FOUND THAT DIFFERENT CLASSES OF DRIVERS TEND TO EXHIBIT DIFFERENT DRIVING PATTERNS. RELATED FIELDS IN WHICH THE DRIVOMETER MAY BE USED ARE INDICATED.
