TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Modelling human behaviour by numerically described multidimensional probability distributions JO - Advances in transportation studies A1 - Bald, JS A1 - Wallrabenstein, T A1 - Stumpf, K SP - 73 EP - 80 VL - 16 IS - N2 - This paper describes an effective possibility to describe human behaviour systematically with appropriate accuracy by using Numerically Described Multidimensional Probability Distributions (NDMPD). A tool to handle the large amount of numerical data is provided. NDMPD may be used as a part of a system-wide systematical and modular risk analysis of complex technical systems with a relevant influence on human behaviour (e.g. road traffic). A framework for such analysis is presented. The modularity allows for the enhancement of the analysis on a module by module basis and supports the cooperation of different researcher's groups even from different disciplines. One of the aims of this paper is to establish such cooperation. Keywords – traffic safety, human behaviour, interdisciplinary work, using numerically described multidimensional probability distributions
