Driving Accident frequency increased in patients with multiple sclerosis
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2002Co-Authors: Svend LingsAbstract:OBJECTIVES: To assess the influence of multiple sclerosis (MS) on the ability to drive safely. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 10-year historical cohort register-study on 197 patients with MS and 545 controls individually matched on age, gender, place of residence, and exposure period. Persons with other neurological diseases, diabetes or abuse were excluded. The outcome measure was treatment at the emergency department after Accident as a car driver. RESULTS: Five patients and four controls had been treated, the rate per 1000 person-years with exposure being 3.4 times higher (CI 0.73-17.15) in the patients than in the control cohort. The difference is significant in one-sided test (P=0.04). CONCLUSION: Drivers with MS were treated more often than healthy controls at a casualty department after having a road traffic Accident. However, drastic consequences regarding the patients automobile Driving should be avoided until these results have been substantiated by further investigations. Language: en

Increased Driving Accident frequency in Danish patients with epilepsy.
Neurology, 2001Co-Authors: Svend LingsAbstract:Objective: To determine Driving Accident frequency in a cohort of patients with epilepsy. Methods: A 10-year historical cohort register study of 159 subjects with epilepsy and 559 controls individually matched for age, gender, place of residence, and exposure period was carried out. All had nonprofessional driver’s licenses without restrictions. Persons with recorded diagnoses of other neurologic diseases, diabetes, psychoses, seizures, abuse, or poisoning of any kind were not included. The outcome measure was treatment at the casualty department after an Accident as a car driver. Results: Ten patients with epilepsy and five controls had been treated at the casualty department, the rate per 1,000 person-years with exposure being seven times higher (CI 2.18 to 26.13) in those with epilepsy than in the control cohort. Conclusions: Drivers with epilepsy are more likely than healthy controls to be treated at a casualty department after having a motor vehicle Accident.

the five factor model conscientiousness and Driving Accident involvement
Journal of Personality, 1996Co-Authors: Winfred Arthur, William G GrazianoAbstract:Personality researchers and theorists are approaching consensus on the basic structure and constructs of personality. Despite the apparent consensus on the emergent five-factor model (Goldberg, 1992, 1993), less is known about external correlates of separate factors. This research examined the relations between Conscientiousness, one dimension of the model, and Driving Accident involvement. Using multiple measures in independent samples drawn from college students (N = 227) and a temporary employment agency (N = 250), the results generally demonstrate a significant inverse relation between Conscientiousness and Driving Accident involvement; individuals who rate themselves as more self-disciplined, responsible, reliable, and dependable are less likely to be involved in Driving Accidents than those who rate themselves lower on these attributes. The findings are consistent with other research demonstrating the relations among Conscientiousness and other tasks and job performance. Suggestions for future research are discussed. Language: en

locus of control and auditory selective attention as predictors of Driving Accident involvement a comparative longitudinal investigation
Journal of Safety Research, 1992Co-Authors: Winfred Arthur, Dennis DoverspikeAbstract:Abstract Locus of control, as measured by the Montag Driving Internality and Driving Externality scales (Montag & Comrey, 1987) and auditory selective attention, as measured by the Auditory Selective Attention Test, were used in an attempt to predict Driving Accidents in a study that used both a predictive (longitudinal) and postdictive design. In 1988, 214 subjects were administered the tests and completed a self report Driving record. In 1990, 142 of the subjects responded to a follow-up of the self report Driving record. The only significant correlation for the Montag Driving Internality and Driving Externality scales was for 1990 not-at-fault Accidents. For the Auditory Selective Attention Test, there were a number of significant relationships with Accidents, the highest being .24 for the criterion of combined total Accidents. The results concerning selective attention supported the findings of a meta-analysis by Arthur, Barrett, and Alexander (1991a).

dada 2000 can Driving Accident be predicted by driver attentionƒ analyzed by a benchmark
International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2019Co-Authors: Jianwu Fang, Dingxin Yan, Jiahuan Qiao, Jianru Xue, He WangAbstract:Driver attention prediction is currently becoming the focus in safe Driving research community, such as the DR(eye)VE project and newly emerged Berkeley DeepDrive Attention (BDD-A) database in critical situations. In safe Driving, an essential task is to predict the incoming Accidents as early as possible. BDD-A was aware of this problem and collected the driver attention in laboratory because of the rarity of such scenes. Nevertheless, BDD-A focuses the critical situations which do not encounter actual Accidents, and just faces the driver attention prediction task, without a close step for Accident prediction. In contrast to this, we explore the view of drivers’ eyes for capturing multiple kinds of Accidents, and construct a more diverse and larger video benchmark than ever before with the driver attention and the Driving Accident annotation simultaneously (named as DADA-2000), which has 2000 video clips owning about 658, 476 frames on 54 kinds of Accidents. These clips are crowd-sourced and captured in various occasions (highway, urban, rural, and tunnel), weather (sunny, rainy and snowy) and light conditions (daytime and nighttime). For the driver attention representation, we collect the maps of fixations, saccade scan path and focusing time. The Accidents are annotated by their categories, the Accident window in clips and spatial locations of the crash-objects. Based on the analysis, we obtain a quantitative and positive answer for the question in this paper.

an analysis of Driving Accident narratives as a means of determining problems caused by in vehicle visual allocation and visual workload
VISION IN VEHICLES V. FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE GLASGOW 1993, 1996Co-Authors: Walter W Wierwille, Louis TijerinaAbstract:An Accident data base search was performed to determine the effects of driver visual allocation into the vehicle (interior visual workload) on Accident rates. The study was carried out using the North Carolina (U.S.) Accident data base, which has investigating-officer written narratives entered and which is accessible through keyword searches. The search was conducted on the entire 1989 data base and on the first four-month period of 1992. The results show clearly that numerous Accidents are caused by visual allocation into the vehicle. Areas showing high rates are radio usage, mirror usage, attention to loose objects in the vehicle, interaction with another person or animal in the vehicle, and involuntary visual occlusion attributed to several sources. Numerous other sources also cause smaller numbers of Accidents. Comparison of the 1989 and 1992 data bases indicates that cellular phone usage Accidents are becoming more prevalent and that citizen's band radio usage Accidents are becoming less prevalent, probably because of the relative change in numbers of these devices in vehicles.
