Title Development of Driver Behavior Analysis Tool and Analysis of Driving behavior
Dept Transportation Safety Division
Year 2020
Month 4
Price 380
Summary       Motor carrier driving safety has received increased public attention after several serious crashes in the past few years. As a result, there has been a call for better driver safety management for motor carriers. In recent years, increasing availability and implementation of in-vehicle data recorder (IVDR) and on-board safety monitoring device (OBSM) technologies has resulted in more safety applications to enhance both the behavior of commercial drivers and safety management. Nonetheless, it remains a question for the car industry concerning what types of IVDR and OBSM should be first implemented and what performance measures along with the definitions should be applied.
      Through literature review, this study first gained an insight into how safe driving behavior management is done at home and abroad, as well as the definitions of related common indicators, threshold values, and required detection equipment. Then, through interviews with operators, a questionnaire survey was conducted to further grasp the current situation of domestic transport operators’ actual use of the Car Information System (CIS) to manage drivers and the issues and needs that arise. Finally, using the natural driving behaviors collected from 100 travels as examples, the establishment of indicators and threshold values, risk event filtering and analysis, driver characteristics analysis, the computation of driver safety scores, and the initial development of driver behavior analysis tools were carried out targeting the National Freeway bus operators, thereby enabling operators to promptly carry out driver safety diagnostics.
      The research results shall not only serve as a reference for future government policy planning, but they will also assist bus operators in performing proper driver safety and driving behavior management, thereby achieving effective accident prevention.
