Real-life driving safety and dynamically triggered interviewing

More about the book

Road traffic accidents and fatalities create an urgent need to extend the study of driver behavior and driving safety into real-life settings. Advanced driver assistance systems must be developed which will be both effective in helping drivers avoid accidents and will enjoy a high degree of purchase interest and acceptance during use. This book describes the development of a new system for studying real-life driving safety using dynamically triggered interviewing. During normal daily driving, potentially safety-critical events are identified in real-time and in-vehicle interviews are carried out from a dedicated call-center. The newly developed system was applied in an extensive study of real-life driving. The system allows unique insights into drivers' experience of safety-critical situations and provides valuable input for future development of advanced driver assistance systems, with the goal of continuing to improve driving safety.
