When Technology Tells Novice Drivers How to Drive

TL;DR: In this paper, the usefulness of feedback from technology to moderate risky behavior of young novice drivers was studied in a before-and-after experiment, where two vehicles were fitted with a device designed to identify occurrences of unsafe driving events (e.g., sharp turns, excessive braking and accelerating, swift lane changing).
Journal ArticleDOI

Crash risk factors associated with injury severity of teen drivers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on identifying crash risk factors associated with injury severity of teen drivers and developed a partial proportionality odds model to identify factors contributing to injury severity in teen drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy of a family-focused intervention for young drivers with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

TL;DR: The STEER program for novice drivers with ADHD was effective in reducing observations of negative parenting behavior and teen self-reports of risky driving relative to DEDP; groups did not significantly differ on observations of positive parenting or driving behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Teens' distracted driving behavior: Prevalence and predictors.

TL;DR: It is indicated that teens engaged in secondary tasks frequently and poorly regulate their driving behavior relative to environmental conditions, and peer and parent influences on secondary task engagement provide valuable objectives for countermeasures to reduce distracted driving among teenage drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Driver's adaptive glance behavior to in-vehicle information systems.

TL;DR: This study suggests that drivers may exhibit negative behavioral adaptation as they become more comfortable with using in-vehicle technologies over time and demonstrates that random coefficient models can be used to obtain better estimations of driver behavior when there are large individual differences.

Changes in collision rates among novice drivers during the first months of driving.

TL;DR: It was found that crash rates drop most dramatically during the first 6 months of driving, and a graduated driver licensing system is identified as an effective method for ensuring that this development takes place in a more forgiving environment.

Carrying Passengers as a Risk Factor for Crashes Fatal to 16- and 17-Year-Old Drivers

TL;DR: The data indicate that the risk of fatal injury for a 16- or 17-year-old driver increases with the number of passengers, which supports inclusion of restrictions on carrying passengers in graduated licensing systems for young drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alcohol-related relative risk of driver fatalities and driver involvement in fatal crashes in relation to driver age and gender: an update using 1996 data.

TL;DR: This is the first study that systematically estimated relative risk for drink-drivers with BACs between 0.08% and 0.10% (these relative risk estimates apply to BAC range midpoints at 0.09%.) the results clearly show that drivers with a BAC under 0.

Driving experience, crashes and traffic citations of teenage beginning drivers

TL;DR: Self-reported crash involvements and citations were examined for each teenager's first year of licensure and first 3500 miles driven to find male gender, a lower GPA and living in a rural area were associated with a higher citation rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

The situational risks of young drivers: the influence of passengers, time of day and day of week on accident rates

TL;DR: The results indicate that the accident involvement rates of 16-19 year old drivers are higher than those of 20-24 and 25-59 year olds in all situations that were examined, but that they were disproportionately high on weekends, at nighttime and with passengers.
