Development of Techniques for studying unsafe driving actions Charlesworth, KD ; Cairney, PT
Publication details: Vermont, Victoria Australian Road Research Board. Special report 39, 1988Description: 123 sSubject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P0516:39Location: Abstract: This study investigates techniques for studying the incidence of unsafe driving actions (UDAs) in both the accident and normal driving population in an attempt to develop an overall plan for measuring relative crash risks of UDAs. Stage 1 re-analysed the Adelaide in-depth study (McLean et al. 1979) coding driver behaviour with definitions from previous studies. During this procedure it became apparent that an improved system for assigning UDAs was required. This led to the development of a flow chart technique, which was found to be both reliable and sufficiently detailed. Stage 2 applied the flow chart technique to police crash report forms. This resulted in too many 'unknown' responses to flow chart decisions.| Cover image | Item type | Current library | Home library | Collection | Shelving location | Call number | Materials specified | Vol info | URL | Copy number | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | Item hold queue priority | Course reserves | |
