Abstract

Naturalistic driving studies provide a relatively new, powerful tool for understanding driver behavior. This collection of vehicle and driver data provides an opportunity to garner a greater understanding of driver behavior and safety issues than ever before possible. The purpose of this panel is to discuss how various car manufactures around the world are using or plan to use naturalistic driving data to improve transportation safety. Top researchers in the area of safety and human factors form this panel. The panelists in alphabetical order are: Joerg Breuer, Head of Active Safety (Mercedes-Benz - Germany); John-Fredrik Grönvall, Manager, Traffic Accident Research - Volvo Safety Centre (Volvo Car Corporation - Sweden); Raymond Kiefer, Structure and Safety Integration Center (General Motors - USA); and Tomohiro Yamamura, Manager, Advanced Engineering Group (Nissan - Japan).
