Areas of interest of potential users for naturalistic observation studies. PROmoting real Life Observations for Gaining Understanding of road user behaviour in Europe PROLOGUE, Deliverable D1.2.
Identification of the interests of potential users is crucial for setting up a useful and broadly supported large-scale naturalistic driving (ND) study. This report describes the results of a survey amongst 72 road transport professionals in Europe from different organisation types that aimed at identifying those interests. The survey was presented on the internet. Whereas the size of the sample is small and may be somewhat biased, the results indicate that road transport professionals consider ND studies most useful for studying road safety issues. Many also considered ND studies useful for human-machine interface design. Traffic management and particularly environmental issues were considered less useful by the respondents. Within the area of road safety, risk-taking behaviour, pre-crash behaviour, crash avoidance behaviour, and driver condition were considered the most interesting topics for naturalistic research. There were only minor differences between the interests of respondents from different organisation types and from different groups of countries.
