This paper introduces a robust, real-time system for detecting driver lane changes. Under the framework of a “mind-tracking architecture,” the system simulates a set of possible driver intentions and their resulting behaviors using an approximation of a rigorous and validated model of driver behavior. The system compares these simulations with a driver’s actual observed behavior, thus inferring...

Signal integrity has become a critical issue in the design of high-performance circuits. Noise on a net arises both through propagation of noise from previous stages through the driver gate of the net and through injection of new noise through coupling capacitance with neighboring nets. Typically, propagated noise and injected noise are added linearly to simplify the analysis and increase its e...

In order to introduce a realistic simulation environment to support the research on vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), the human behavior must be studied, understood and included in the mobility model representing the vehicles movement. This paper studies the behavior of the driver concerning specifically the decision to change the lane. Our study is based on real world observations and safety...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between personality factors assessed during adolescence and persistent risky driving behavior and traffic crash involvement among young adults. DESIGN Data for this investigation were drawn from the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, a longitudinal study of a cohort born in Dunedin, New Zealand. SUBJECTS T...
