“…Drivers with a risky driving style were generally younger and more likely to drive and use ACC (Figure 1), which is consistent with previous research showing that the use of ACC (e.g., the headway set by the driver) is a function of the driver's age and driving style (Cicchino and McCartt 2015;Jenness et al 2008;Wu and Boyle 2015;Xiong et al 2012). Moreover, these results are coherent with previous questionnaire and observational research in manual driving showing that young drivers are more likely to commit traffic violations than older drivers (de Winter et al 2015;Martinussen et al 2014;Parker et al 1995).…”

Objective: Adaptive cruise control (ACC), a technology that allows for automated car following, is becoming increasingly prevalent. Previous surveys have shown that drivers generally regard ACC as pleasant but that they have to intervene when the ACC reaches its operational limits. The former research has been mostly concerned with specific car brands and does not fully reflect the diversity of ACC types in traffic today. The objective of the present research was to establish the determinants of pleasure in using ACC. Methods: A 55-item online questionnaire was completed by Dutch users of diverse ACC systems. Results: Respondents (N = 182) rated their ACC highly, with a mean score of 8.0 on a scale from 1 (extraordinarily negative) to 10 (extraordinarily positive) and were most pleased with ACC on high-speed roads and in low-density traffic. Moreover, the findings point to specific operational limits such as associated with cut-in situations. Pleasure was greater for the types of ACC that are able to decelerate to a full stop, according to 48% of our sample. An analysis of the free-response items indicated that respondents who were displeased with ACC mentioned its occasional clumsiness and the dangerous situations it may evoke, whereas those who were pleased with ACC valued the complementarity of human and machine and emphasized the roles of responsibility and experience in using ACC. Conclusion: Pleasure in using ACC is a function of both technological advances and human factors.

“…Reason et al 22 proposed the first DBQ, which contained a total of 50 items, in 1990. Martinussen et al 23 conducted a DBQ investigation involving Danish drivers and ultimately identified the following three types of driving behaviors: violations, errors, and lapses. Thereafter, many scholars have used the DBQ to conduct studies.…”

To provide helpful suggestions to bus companies regarding reducing the number of bus accidents and improving public transportation safety, we further researched the relationship between driving skills and driving behaviors; bus drivers from six bus companies of the Hefei Bus Group were investigated. The reliability and validity of the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire, the Driver Skill Inventory, and 287 valid questionnaires were tested; the relationships between the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire and Driver Skill Inventory factors were explored; and their influence on traffic accidents was analyzed by structural equation modeling. Significant positive associations were found between driving experience and safety motive, whereas negative relationships were found between errors and safety motive. Safety motive has a negative effect on violations, and violations are the most important factor leading to traffic accidents. Therefore, bus companies should enhance safety education, and interventions should not only directly relate to the involvement of bus drivers in traffic accidents but also consider the role played by violations.

“…De Craen et al 2011used MDSI to investigate the differences between experienced and novice drivers, while used it to investigate gender differences. Martinussen et al (2014) linked the DBQ and MDSI instruments and find broad consistency among them, showing that drivers have consistent judgement of their abilities. A subsequent review of the MDSI found some age, gender and ethnic correlations in the results, but no impact from other sociodemographic characteristics, indicating that the eight factors represent relatively stable and universal traits (Taubman-Ben-Ari and Skvirsky 2016).…”

Self-Assessment of Driving Style and the Willingness to Share Personal Information

The availability of better behavioral information about their customer portfolios holds the promise for different and more accurate pricing models for insurers. Changes in pricing, however, are always fraught with danger for insurers, as they enter long-term commitments with incomplete historical information. On the other hand, sharing personal information is still viewed with skepticism by consumers. Which type of personal information are consumers willing to share with insurers, and for what purpose? How would they like to be rewarded for this openness? For insurers, how will the transition shift their risk portfolios? This paper addresses these questions for auto insurance, particularly how the self-assessment of one’s driving style impacts this dynamic. In a survey of approximately 900 Swiss residents, we found that offering a compensation, especially premium discounts, but also services, significantly improves willingness to share information. Higher trust in insurance increases sharing. Women and younger people are more willing to share information. On the other hand, customers are less willing to disclose, to insurers, information not traditionally associated with insurance. The self-assessment of driving style also plays a significant role. More risk-averse driving styles are correlated with higher sharing. Conversely, riskier driving styles are correlated with lower sharing. This result is significant for insurers, as new data-driven pricing and services models should tend to attract less risky customer portfolios.
