From page 117...
... 117 A p p e n d i x A This appendix provides more details on the actual and potential outcome severity scales described in Chapter 8. It includes a description of the methods, as well as details on assumptions that were used in the construction of these methods.
From page 118...
... 118 Sampling Strategies in Naturalistic Driving Data The crash/near-crash dichotomy is provided as is from VTTI. There are major issues with the sampling strategies in general in naturalistic driving studies.
From page 119...
... 119 To answer the questions above, we need to obtain appropriate distributions describing glance-off-road behavior. This is more difficult than it may seem.
From page 120...
... 120 f(x) distributions, one placing all its mass on 10 seconds and another on 15 seconds, E[R(T)
From page 121...
... 121 Finally, using h(t)
From page 122...
... 122 no evasive maneuver. DeltaV is the most common approach for measuring crash severity in traditional accident investigations and correlation with injury risk (see the DeltaV section above)
From page 123...
... 123 glance distributions at the original start of last glance off road instead of conditioning on an overlap with, for example, invTTC = 0.1 s-1 (or 0.2 s-1)
From page 124...
... 124 a major component (kept constant in all simulations of an individual event) in the what-if simulations, the creation of LVspeed is crucial.
From page 125...
... 125 The exclusion of events in the MIR/MCR calculation does not bias results significantly. In our MIR and MCR analysis we excluded events that did not complete the what-if simulations for a number of reasons.
