the manchester Driver Behaviour questionnaire a cross cultural study
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2004Co-Authors: Timo Lajunen, Dianne Parker, Heikki SummalaAbstract:The aim of the present study was to investigate if the original factorial structure of the Manchester Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ) was replicated in Finland and The Netherlands. A postal questionnaire survey of Drivers was carried out in Britain, Finland and The Netherlands. Exploratory factor analysis together with target (Procrustes) rotation and factorial agreement indexes were calculated to investigate the applicability of Finnish and Dutch versions of DBQ. Results of the factor comparisons showed that the DBQ four-factor structures found in Finland and The Netherlands were congruent but not perfect with the target structure found in Britain. Reliabilities of the scales were around the same level as in the British data. In addition to the four first-order factors, two second-order factors (deliberate violations and unintentional errors) were found in all three countries which supports the original structure by Reason et al. [Ergonomics 33 (1990) 1315]. Issues related to cross-cultural use of traffic Behaviour questionnaires are discussed.

social facilitation and Driver Behaviour
British Journal of Psychology, 1990Co-Authors: James S Baxter, Antony Stephen Reid Manstead, Stephen G Stradling, Karen Campbell, James T Reason, Dianne ParkerAbstract:Audience effects on individual Behaviour have often been interpreted in terms of increased arousal, which in turn enhances the emission of dominant responses. However, such drive-based explanations do not readily fit all of the evidence on audience effects. The present study examined the influence on Driver Behaviour of the presence of a passenger. The main findings were that the incidence of both signalling and speeding appeared to be reduced by the presence of certain types of passenger. These results seem to support a control theory rather than a drive-based account of social facilitation. In addition, the incidence of close following and speeding differed significantly across type of Driver. Taken together, these results suggest ways for improving road safety propaganda based on the specific norms salient for specific categories of road user.

British Journal of Pharmacology, 1990Co-Authors: James S Baxter, Antony Stephen Reid Manstead, Stephen G Stradling, Karen Campbell, James T Reason, Dianne ParkerAbstract:Audience effects on individual Behaviour have often been interpreted in terms of increased arousal, which in turn enhances the emission of dominant responses. However, such drive-based explanations do not readily fit all of the evidence on audience effects. The present study examined the influence on Driver Behaviour of the presence of a passenger. Solo Drivers or Drivers with one passenger were covertly followed and observed as they drove along a major urban road on which a 30 mile an hour speed limit applied. The sex of both Drivers and passengers was noted, and they were classified as 'younger' or 'older' depending on whether they appeared to the two members of the research team to be under or over 30. The target cars were followed for about 4 minutes during which time the researchers noted any actions by the Driver of the target car which they considered to be illegal, discourteous, or a breach of the highway code. The main findings were that the incidence of both signalling and speeding appeared to be reduced by the presence of certain types of passenger. These results seem to support a control theory rather than a drive-based account of social facilitation. In addition, the incidence of close following and speeding differed significantly across type of Driver.

Three social car visions to improve Driver Behaviour
Pervasive and Mobile Computing, 2014Co-Authors: Andry Rakotonirainy, Ronald Schroeter, Alessandro SoroAbstract:The social cost of road injury and fatalities is still unacceptable. The Driver is often mainly responsible for road crashes, therefore changing the Driver Behaviour is one of the most important and most challenging priority in road transport. This paper presents three innovative visions that articulate the potential of using Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication for supporting the exchange of social information amongst Drivers. We argue that there could be tremendous benefits in socialising cars to influence human driving Behaviours for the better and that this aspect is still relevant in the age of looming autonomous cars. Our visions provide theoretical grounding how V2V infrastructure and emerging human-machine interfaces (HMI) could persuade Drivers to (i) adopt better (e.g. greener) driving practices, (ii) reduce Drivers aggressiveness towards pro-social driving Behaviours, and (iii) reduce risk-taking Behaviour in young, particularly male, adults. The visions present simple but powerful concepts that reveal 'good' aspects of the Driver Behaviour to other Drivers and make them contagious. The use of self-efficacy, social norms, gamification theories and social cues could then increase the likelihood of a widespread adoption of such 'good' driving Behaviours.

Articulating cooperative systems and Driver Behaviour theories
2020Co-Authors: Andry Rakotonirainy, Sebastien Demmel, Dominique GruyerAbstract:There has been increased research interest in Co-operative Vehicle Infrastructure Systems (CVIS) from the eld of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). However most of the research have focused on the engineering aspects and overlooked their relevance to the Drivers' Behaviour. This paper argues that the priority for cooperative systems is the need to improve Drivers decision making and reduce Drivers' crash risk exposure to improve road safety. Therefore any engineering solutions need to be considered in conjuction with traffic psychology theories on Driver Behaviour. This paper explores the advantages and limitations of existing systems and emphasizes various theoretical issues that arise in articulating cooperative systems' capabilities and Drivers' Behaviour.
