Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a growing body of research and targeted remediation, teenage and novice drivers continue to be six to nine times more likely to die in a crash than they are when they are just a few years older. The World Health Organization reports that road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death globally among 15 to 19 year olds. In light of these crash statistics, understanding the teen driver problem remains of paramount public health importance around the world. The Handbook of Teen and Novice Drivers: Research, Practice, Policy, and Directions provides critical knowledge for a broad range of potential readers, including students, teachers, researchers in academics, industry and the federal government, public policy makers at all levels, insurance companies and automobile manufacturers, driving instructors, and parents and their teens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a public health perspective, motor vehicle crashes are among the most serious problems facing teenagers. Even after more than six months of being licensed to drive alone, teens are two to three times more likely to be in a fatal crash than are the more experienced drivers. Crash rates are significantly higher for male drivers, and young people in the United States are at greater risk of dying or being injured in an automobile than their peers around the world. In fact, in 2003 motor vehicle crashes was the leading cause of death for youth ages 16-20 in the United States. Understanding how and why teen motor vehicle crashes happen is key to developing countermeasures to reduce their number. Applying this understanding to the development of prevention strategies holds significant promise for improving safety but many of these efforts are thwarted by a lack of evidence as to which prevention strategies are most effective. Preventing Teen Motor Crashes presents data from a multidisciplinary group that shared information on emerging technology for studying, monitoring, and controlling driving behavior. The book provides an overview of the factual information that was presented, as well as the insights that emerged about the role researchers can play in reducing and preventing teen motor crashes.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teenage drivers are at a disproportionate risk of fatal and serious injuries due to motor vehicle crashes. A Field Operational Test (FOT) funded by MnDOT used the Teen Driver Support System (TDSS) smartphone application to collect real-time driving performance data from a cohort of approximately 300 teen drivers, recruited in early 2013, who were monitored over a 12-month period after licensure. Study results showed the TDSS application’s success in reducing instances of speeding for the two groups that received feedback, compared to teens who received no coaching or parental involvement, was influential in reducing kinematic driving events, e.g., hard braking. This five-year follow-up investigation of the long-term outcomes of the TDSS FOT cohort aimed to determine the frequency of state-recorded traffic citations and crashes along with these drivers’ self-reported driving behaviors and attitudes. Of the original cohort, 251 agreed to be contacted for future studies and 150 were successfully recruited into the follow-up study. A re-examination of the FOT risky driving distributions divided into tertiles (low, moderate, high) found overdispersion of control group teens in the high risky tertiles compared to the two TDSS intervention groups, particularly for speeding-related behaviors and texting. The tertile risk level of early risky driving (e.g., speeding, hard braking) was found to significantly predict long-term safety outcomes for traffic violations/tickets. However, the sample size for crashes among the over sample was too small to determine if the mediating effect of the TDSS on early risky driving resulted in long-term reductions in crashes.

Book excerpt: Most driving literature for parents focuses on how to teach a teen to drive, without explaining why teen driving is so dangerous in the first place or giving parents a plan to preempt hazards. Providing fully updated and expanded advice, this second edition of Not So Fast empowers and guides parents, guardians, and other adults who supervise teen drivers. Coauthors Tim Hollister, a father who lost his teenage son in a crash, and Pam Shadel Fischer, a nationally known traffic safety expert who is also a mother of a teen driver, prove that supervision before driving is as important to lowering crash rates as teaching teens how to turn at a busy intersection. This authoritative guide tackles hot-button issues such as texting and distracted driving, parenting attitudes (conscious and unconscious), and teen impairment and fatigue--and includes a combination of topics not found in other teen driving guides, such as how brain development affects driving, evaluating the circumstances of every driving trip, and the limits of driver training programs. Current research and statistics and additions dealing with hands-free devices and drowsy driving make this new edition a valuable resource for anyone concerned about teen drivers. Proceeds from the sale of this book support the Reid Hollister Memorial Fund, which subsidizes infant and toddler education in greater Hartford, Connecticut, and worthy traffic safety causes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The goal of this research project was to develop a methodology to assist the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) in the evaluation of effectiveness of teen driver education programs over the short and long terms. The research effort was divided into two phases. Phase I focused on the development of an evaluative methodology that was based upon a review of the relevant literature and Wisconsin-specific policies and available data sources. This review culminated in a program assessment tool focused on four contributing areas of teen driver training and education: 1) Guardian Involvement; 2) Driver Education and Training Curricula Requirements; 3) GDL Coordination; and 4) Instructor Qualifications. The proposed methodology was presented to the Project Oversight Committee and was validated through two rounds of pilot testing using materials provided by programs and schools under the oversight of both WisDOT and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The resulting methodology informed the Phase II implementation plan recommendations. Work products included within this report are an annotated bibliography; a knowledge base documenting best practices and Wisconsin-specific data sources; a methodology that may be used to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of driver-training programs as they relate to the demonstrated safety and behavior of teen drivers in Wisconsin; and a three-phase implementation plan."--Technical report documentation page.

Download or read book Teen Driver Support System (TDSS) Field Operational Test written by Janet I. Creaser and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although teen drivers make up a small percentage of the U.S. driving population, they are at an especially high risk of being involved in a crash. Factors that contribute to teen drivers’ risk include their lack of experience and their tendency to engage in unsafe behaviors such as speeding, driving aggressively, or using a cell phone while behind the wheel. To help teen drivers stay safe on the road, we developed the Teen Driver Support System (TDSS), a smartphone-based system that provides real-time, in-vehicle feedback to teens about their risky behaviors--and reports the behaviors to parents via text message if teens don’t heed the system’s warnings. The TDSS provides geographically specific, real-time feedback to a teen driver at the time unsafe driving behavior occurs so that behaviors can be immediately corrected. This report documents a 12-month field operational test of the system involving 300 newly licensed teens driving on Minnesota roads. The test included a control group that received no feedback, a treatment group that received only TDSS in-vehicle feedback, and a second treatment group that received both TDSS in-vehicle and TDSS parental notifications. Research results indicate an overall safety benefit of TDSS, demonstrating that in-vehicle monitoring and driver alerts, coupled with parental notifications, is a meaningful intervention to reduce the frequency of risky driving behaviors that are correlated with novice teen driver crashes. In particular, the system was shown to be an effective strategy for reducing excessive speeds when used with parental feedback and potentially even without parental involvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to statistics from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2017), motor vehicle crashes have been identified as the leading cause of death for U.S. teenagers. Teen drivers are more likely to engage in driving distraction, make judgment errors, and perform risky driving behaviors (Simons-Morton et al., 2013). Recent studies of drivers diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) indicated that teen drivers with ADHD had three to four times more accidents compared to drivers without ADHD. Teens with ADHD tend to engage in more driving errors. Inclement weather and low visibility can affect driver perception of their surroundings, and consequently driver performance. Common forms of bad weather that can affect driving include rainfall, snow, and fog. A significant number of vehicle crashes have occurred in unfavorable weather, making this a topic that should be looked at. Situational awareness in particular can be expected to be severely affected in such conditions but has not been studied very well. This project aims to assess the driving risks of teen drivers by systematically quantifying the risk factors, including driver distraction, risky driving behavior, ADHD, and adverse weather conditions. Datasets containing de-identified data with variables that include driver factors, event and trip summary factors, environmental and road conditions have been used. The study finds that driving experience, Barkley score and sensation seeking tendencies impact the safety and performance of the driver, where an increase in driving experience and lower values of Barkley scores and sensation seeking lead to a decrease in crash rate. Logistic regression also suggests that drivers' behavior, weather and the surface conditions of the road increase the chances of crashes.

Book excerpt: In the last decade, nearly every state in the U.S. has introduced a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program to limit the exposure of teenage drivers to high-risk conditions during the first years after licensure. This book evaluates the effectiveness of GDL programs in reducing teen traffic fatalities over the period between 1992 and 2006. This book also investigates the psychological functions of driving and risky driving as perceived by adolescents and the factors underlying psychological functions of driving and risky driving. Furthermore, the impact of accident duration on traffic congestion is also analysed, as well as the multiple factors that may affect driving performance. Other chapters in this book examine the injury risks experienced by vulnerable road users and challenges in obtaining accurate information on the magnitude and circumstances of their crashes, studies where human factors related to occupational accidents are analysed, and an evaluation of the factors that are associated with the risk perception to have night-time car crashes in young drivers, as well as the strategies most commonly used to counteract sleepiness at the wheels. Implications of the study on road safety and recommendations for future research are also discussed.

Download or read book The Effect of Passengers on Teen Driver Behavior written by Arthur H. Goodwin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of studies have shown that passengers substantially increase the risk of crashes for young, novice drivers. This increased risk may result from distractions that young passengers create for drivers. Alternatively, the presence of passengers may increase the likelihood of teenage drivers engaging in explicitly risky behaviors, for example, by actively encouraging drivers to take risks. A better understanding of how transporting peers contributes to young driver increased crash risk will help develop strategies to reduce this risk. NHTSA analyzed data collected through an earlier naturalistic driving study (Goodwin, Foss, Margolis, & Waller, 2010). Over a 6-month study period, event-based data recorders collected 24,085 driving clips, of which 4,466 were selected for analysis. The sample included 52 drivers: 38 newly licensed teens and 14 high-school-age siblings. Risky driving behaviors by teenage drivers were more common while they were driving in the presence of teenage peers. Teenage drivers were two-and-a-half times more likely to engage in one or more potentially risky behaviors when driving with one teenage peer compared to when driving alone. When driving with multiple teenage peers the likelihood increased to 3 times. Some of the mechanisms commonly thought to explain the increased crash risk when carrying passengers were rare, such as instances of deliberate encouragement for the drivers to take risks. Rather, helpful statements on the part of passengers were 10 times more common than statements encouraging risk-taking behavior. These findings suggest the mere presence of peers may have influenced risky driving behaviors more than deliberate encouragement. Several potential distractions were common when teenage peers were present. Loud conversation was 5 times more likely and horseplay was 9 times more likely with multiple teenage passengers in the vehicle compared to when a parent/adult was present. Other distractions, such as loud music and electronic device use, were less common in the presence of passengers. This study had several limitations. First, teens may have changed their driving behavior because of the presence of the data recorders. Second, the sample was small, included a disproportionate percentage of females, and was overrepresented by families with higher-level educations and higher incomes. These sample characteristics suggest caution in generalizing the findings to teenage drivers broadly.
