The Definition of Acceptance and Acceptability

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite the recognised importance of the concept of acceptance, how and why new technologies are actually accepted by drivers is not well understood. While many studies claim to have measured acceptance, few have explicitly defined what it is. This chapter points out the importance of defining acceptance and categorises definitions that have been used according to their “essence”. Distinctions between different types of acceptance as well as between acceptance and acceptability are also described. A proposal for a common definition of acceptance is then presented and discussed.

The effects of a driver assistance system for safe speed and safe distance - A real-life field study
- 2011

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The effects of a driver assistance system for keeping safe speed and safe distance (referred to as SASPENCE) on driver behaviour, reactions and acceptance were evaluated in a test carried out in 2006. Twenty test drivers, recruited by ads, drove two times (once with the system off and once with the system on) in real traffic conditions along a 50 km long test route containing urban and rural roads and motorway sections outside Turin, Italy. Driving data was logged and the test drivers were observed by means of an in-car observation method, in this case by two observers riding along in the car with the driver. Driver opinions were collected through questionnaires. The findings show positive effects of the system in terms of fewer alarm situations, shorter alarm lengths, shorter reaction times, increased headway and better interactions with vulnerable road users at intersections. On the negative side, driver performance worsened slightly, the number of centre line crossings increased, there was worse facilitating behaviour with regard to other drivers and harder braking at traffic lights. No major effect on speed behaviour of the driver, lane choice, lane keeping, lane change, overtaking, red running, use of turning indicator and workload was found. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Development of a method for detecting jerks in safety critical events
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Accident Analysis and Prevention. - : Elsevier. - 0001-4575 .- 1879-2057. ; 50, s. 83-91
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new method for detecting jerks in safety critical events, based on the characteristics of the braking caused by the driver in time critical situations, has been developed and evaluated in a small pilot test and also applied on a naturalistic driving study. A portable event data recorder, capable of measuring and recording acceleration profiles for a predetermined time period before and after the safety critical situation, has also been developed to ensure high data quality used to evaluate the proposed method. Thus, an analysis of the acceleration profile is possible during the entire braking event. The study involves analyses of acceleration profiles and different characteristics of the rate of change of the acceleration profiles, i.e. jerks, such as negative jerk, used in previous studies, and a peak-to-peak value of the jerk. The finding is that the proposed method provides a more distinct difference between critical and potentially critical events and thus may be an appropriate method used to detect safety critical events.

Jerky driving : an indicator of accident proneness?
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Accident Analysis and Prevention. - : Elsevier. - 0001-4575 .- 1879-2057. ; 43:4, s. 1359-1363
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study uses continuously logged driving data from 166 private cars to derive the level of jerks caused by the drivers during everyday driving. The number of critical jerks found in the data is analysed and compared with the self-reported accident involvement of the drivers. The results show that the expected number of accidents for a driver increases with the number of critical jerks caused by the driver. Jerk analyses make it possible to identify safety critical driving behaviour or “accident prone” drivers. They also facilitate the development of safety measures such as active safety systems or advanced driver assistance systems, ADAS, which could be adapted for specific groups of drivers or specific risky driving behaviour.

The development of methods for detection and assessment of safety critical events in car driving
- 2012
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Improving our knowledge of drivers’ behaviour, especially in hazardous situations is a key to understanding why accidents occur and how to improve safety on our roads. Crash surrogate measures have proven to be very useful in traffic safety analysis. As a valid crash surrogate measure shares the same logical chain of events as actual crashes, studying those events increases the opportunities to analyze external circumstances as well as events and driver behaviour preceding the crash. A new definition of crash surrogate measures is proposed, i.e. safety critical braking events: Situations (including crashes) that require a sudden, evasive manoeuvre to avoid a crash or to correct for unsafe acts performed by the driver himself/herself or by other road users. This thesis develops a method for detecting Safety CRItical Braking Events (SCRIBE) and evaluates against other methods mostly used in large naturalistic driving studies. The evaluation shows promising results in the success rates of detecting safety critical events. Further, a Method for estimating the SEverity of safety Critical events (M-SEC) involving more than one road user, is developed and evaluated. The method combines a measure of closeness-to-collision, or safety margins, with a measure of possible consequences based on the speed and mass of the involved road users. Besides, a comparison is made with the Traffic Conflict Technique. Evaluation of the method shows that the estimated severity using M-SEC enables comparison of safety critical events involving different types of road users and is not limited to comparisons between similar types of events. In addition, the estimations when using M-SEC seem to reflect the seriousness of the safety critical events.

Utveckling av mätinstrument för registrering av säkerhetskritiska händelser i motorfordon
- 2009
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ett mätinstrument för registrering av trafikkonflikter i fordon via ”Jerk” har tagits fram. Metoden bygger på sambandet mellan ”Jerk” (en plötslig förändring i retardationen) och trafikkonflikt. Utrustningen består av en accelerometer, en liten videokamera, GPS samt datalogg för registrering av händelser (bildsekvens och kördata som föregick en säkerhetskritisk händelse). Resultaten från testkörningarna visar att instrumentet är kapabel till att mäta och registrera accelerationsprofiler med tillräckligt hög noggrannhet för att kunna skilja inbromsningsförlopp för planerade kraftiga inbromsningar från oplanerade nödbromsningar. Detta görs genom att analysera första derivatan av accelerationsprofilen, s.k. ”Jerks”.
