DRIVER PERFORMANCE AND IVHS COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS: A SEARCH FOR DESIGN-RELEVANT MEASUREMENT PROTOCOLS

This paper suggests that a new set of research tools would be useful to support the identification of design-relevant variables and measures appropriate to the particular issues being studied. Identification of these variables and measures and their validation will help foster the transferability and generalizability of research conducted by different researchers in different research settings. The paper offers a "first-cut" attempt at identifying those variables and measurement approaches, and briefly describes NHTSA programs designed to provide tools that can be used to collect design relevant data. The authors welcome, indeed solicit, comments on the notion of achieving greater uniformity among highway safety researchers in what we measure and how we measure it.
