Data and methods for studying commercial motor vehicle driver fatigue, highway safety and long-term driver health
(2019-05)
This article summarizes the recommendations on data and methodology issues for studying commercial motor vehicle driver fatigue of a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study. A framework is provided ...
Towards developing a US-EU common distracted driving taxonomy : updating a naturalistic driving data coding approach
(Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, 2011-12-07)
Naturalistic video data reduction is a process of identifying information from video and putting it into a format that can be analyzed. Developing a sufficiently detailed event coding scheme is critical to this process. ...
Driver Visual Behavior While Using Adaptive Cruise Control on Commercial Motor Vehicles
(National Surface Transportation Safety Center for Excellence, 2019-03-25)
This study compared whether commercial motor vehicle drivers spent less time looking at the roadway while cruise control was engaged. The trucks in the study were equipped with commercially available systems that provide ...
The Risk of a Safety-critical Event Associated with Mobile Device Subtasks in Specific Driving Contexts
(2014-07-28)
Using a cell phone while driving has been associated with an increased crash risk. However, when examining the inherent subtasks, naturalistic driving studies (NDSs) have shown that safety-critical event (SCE) risk is ...
CMV Driver Health Outreach
(Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, 2013-10)
Many commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers struggle to maintain a healthy lifestyle against the demands of their job. While some previous CMV health programs have been developed, these programs have either not been widely ...
Effective Strategies to Improve Safety: Case Studies of Commercial Motor Carrier Safety Advancement
(National Surface Transportation Safety Center for Excellence, 2019-04-30)
Although previous research has documented safety improvement strategies, many carriers may not have real-world data and/or information on the strategies that other carriers have successfully used to improve safety. This ...
Supporting CMV Driver Distraction Outreach Efforts: Letter Report Summary
(National Surface Transportation Safety Center for Excellence, 2015-04-08)
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) CMV Driving Tips website (https://cms.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety/driver-safety/cmv-driving-tips-overview) is a source for information on safety and practical driving tips ...
Fatigue and Distraction in Occupational Light Vehicle Drivers
(National Surface Transportation Safety Center for Excellence, 2017-10-25)
Occupational drivers are a unique subset of the driving population, as driving per se is not their primary job duty, but can nonetheless encompass a large portion of their working day. These occupational drivers make sales ...
The Impact of Local/Short Haul Operations on Driver Fatigue
(Virginia Tech, 2000-05-23)
Massie, Blower, and Campbell (1997) indicate that trucks that operate less than 50 miles from the vehicle's home base comprise 58% of the trucking industry. However, despite being the largest segment, research involving ...
Investigating Drivers’ Compensatory Behavior when Using a Mobile Device
(National Surface Transportation Safety Center for Excellence, 2017-01-12)
The purpose of this study was to investigate driver performance and risk associated with mobile device use (MDU) from previously collected naturalistic driving data. There were two primary objectives: (1) to investigate ...
