Abstract

The Australian Naturalist Driving Study (ANDS) is being carried out by a Transport and Road Safety (TARS) team led by Professors Raphael Grzebieta and Ann Williamson. Drivers will be observed within and around their vehicles using the so-called Naturalistic Driving Study research method. The ANDS team will be instrumenting around 400 cars in Sydney and Melbourne to continuously record data from within and outside the vehicles on driver and road user behaviour, in normal and safety-critical situations. They will then analyse this data to develop new and novel countermeasures for reducing road deaths and serious injuries on Australian roads. This is the first study of this magnitude and sophistication being carried out in Australia.
