Exploring application areas for naturalistic driving observation studies: potential for research on ITS

Naturalistic driving is a research method that is identified as promising for obtaining new insights in various road safety issues and is increasingly proposed and applied to investigate in-vehicle systems. This paper reports an exploration of the potential of naturalistic driving observation for research on intelligent transport systems (ITS). The paper is based upon results from an ongoing European naturalistic driving project, PROLOGUE. A literature review was conducted on topics and applications of previous and current naturalistic studies, followed by an internet survey amongst road transport professionals in Europe to identify their interests and priorities for future naturalistic driving studies. The results show that European road safety professionals recognise the potential of using naturalistic driving studies to study in-vehicle systems and related driving behaviour and crash risk.
