Title:

An Exploratory Empirical Analysis of Measured and Perceived Aggressive Driving Behavior in a Driving Simulation Environment

Accession Number:

Abstract:

In this paper, driving simulation data and surveys collected in the spring of 2014 in Buffalo, NY, are used to explore the factors that can affect measured (through driving simulation experiments) and perceived (self-reported, based on surveys) aggressive driving behavior. To simultaneously account for unobserved heterogeneity, panel data effects, and cross equation error correlation, a random parameters with within-panel heterogeneity bivariate probit model is estimated. The results show that a number of factors affect the measured and perceived aggressive driving behavior, such as: driving experience and exposure (frequency and willingness to drive, accident history, and driver experience); socio-demographic characteristics (family status, household income, level of education, and grow up area), and behavioral and other characteristics (traffic violation warning, music preference, and alcohol consumption tendency). The results imply that some drivers may drive aggressively when they perceive their driving behavior as non-aggressive (or the opposite), and that different factors play in how aggressive driving behavior is measured and perceived.
