Reaction Time Variability Association with Unsafe Driving

• This paper investigates several human factors including visual field, reaction speed, driving behavior and personality traits based on results of a cognitive assessment test targeting drivers in a Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS). Frequency of being involved in Near Miss event (fnm) and Frequency of committing Traffic Violation (ftv) are defined as indexes of safe driving in this work. Inference of association shows statistically significant correlation between Standard Deviation of Reaction Time (σRT) and both safe driving indexes fnm and ftv. Causal relationship analysis excludes age as confounding factor as variations in behavioral responses is observed in both younger and older drivers of this study.
