Abstract

This paper describes a means of analyzing a driver's performance with driving data taken from test tracks and driving simulators for vehicles encountering rear-end driving conflicts. Measures of time-to-collision and estimated closest approach appear to allow better comparison between driving conflicts and a driver's responses to conflicts under different conditions. Similar methods may be applied to field operational test data for evaluation of driver characteristics and safety measures.
