“…These systems alert the driver visually and audibly. However, these alerts could be ignored when a driver is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, or drug consumption [5,6]. Thus, there are research papers that proposed several alternatives for detecting aggressive driving [13][14][15].…”

Automobile security became an essential theme over the last years, and some automakers invested much money for collision avoidance systems, but personalization of their driving systems based on the user’s behavior was not explored in detail. Furthermore, efficiency gains could be had with tailored systems. In Mexico, 80% of automobile accidents are caused by human beings; the remaining 20% are related to other issues such as mechanical problems. Thus, 80% represents a significant opportunity to improve safety and explore driving efficiency gains. Moreover, when driving aggressively, it could be connected with mental health as a post-traumatic stress disorder. This paper proposes a Tailored Collision Mitigation Braking System, which evaluates the driver’s personality driving treats through signal detection theory to create a cognitive map that understands the driving personality of the driver. In this way, aggressive driving can be detected; the system is then trained to recognize the personality trait of the driver and select the appropriate stimuli to achieve the optimal driving output. As a result, when aggressive driving is detected continuously, an automatic alert could be sent to the health specialists regarding particular risky behavior linked with mental problems or drug consumption. Thus, the driving profile test could also be used as a detector for health problems.

“…Besides, research shows how mental health problems or drug consumption can be linked with persons who drive aggressively [5,6]. According to Lashkov and Kashevnik [7], aggressive driving refers to a driving behavior that may create a dangerous situation for the driver and other people on the road.…”

“…Increases in traffic violations are associated with higher MVCs rates (Elliott et al, 2001; Rezapour et al, 2018), and in addition to using MVCs as a long-term measure, reductions in violations are an appropriate measure for assessing fitness-to-drive (Meyer et al, 2021). The two major risk factors related to driving for Veterans are battle-mind driving tactics (driving skills developed during combat zone) and deployment-related polytrauma conditions (≥ 2 injuries) (Lew et al, 2010; Van Voorhees et al, 2018). As both risk factors negatively affect Veterans’ fitness-to-drive, driving simulators are an effective and reliable modality to assess fitness-to-drive (Amick et al, 2013; Classen et al, 2011, 2017; Cox et al, 2010).…”

“…While these tactics are often lifesaving, they are dangerous when performed during civilian driving. Overall, trauma-related conditions combined with battle-mind driving tactics impact Veterans’ ability to drive safely, and lead to increased MVCs (Van Voorhees et al, 2018).…”

Motor vehicle crashes is a leading cause of death for Veterans. We quantified the efficacy of an Occupational Therapy Driving Intervention (OT-DI) and a Traffic Safety Education (TSE) intervention on real-world driving in combat Veterans. Via a randomized trial, we assessed 42 Veterans’ fitness-to-drive abilities using a CDS-250 driving simulator and driving records, to determine differences in simulated driving and real-world events pre- and post-interventions. The OT-DI group (vs. TSE) had fewer over-speeding errors ( p < .001) and total number of driving errors ( p = .002) post-intervention. At Post-Test 2, the OT-DI (vs. TSE) had a reduction in real-world speeding ( p = .05). While statistically not significant, both interventions showed reductions in real-world speeding, number of violations (OT-DI: 23% and TSE: 46% decrease) and crashes (OT-DI: 25% and TSE: 50% decrease). Veterans showed early evidence of efficacy in improving their real-world fitness-to-drive abilities via an OT-DI and TSE intervention.

“…Lew and colleagues (2010) described overlap between mTBI and PTSD symptoms, including attentional impairments, anxiety, and irritability. Although both mTBI and PTSD are associated with emotional dysregulation and affect driving performance, a diagnosis of PTSD was more likely to be associated with aggressive driving (Rike et al, 2018; Van Voorhees et al, 2018). The co-occurrence of three or more combat-related disorders is known as polytrauma (Cifu et al, 2013).…”

Combat Veterans (CVs) deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan experience driving difficulty, based on medical conditions and/or deployment exposures, elevating their risk of motor vehicle crash-related injury or death. To address grounded theory rigor and incorporate constructs such as the Person Environment Occupation Performance model, we revised the Hannold et al. (2013) conceptual framework. We conducted two focus groups with seven CVs. Conceptual framework revisions were based on an iterative process and thematic analysis. We elicited CVs’ perspectives on deployment training, driving pre- and postdeployment, strategies, and intervention preferences. Personal, environmental, and task factors underpinned CVs’ driving. Participants described triggers (e.g., stressful stimuli), use of environmental (e.g., car controls) or personal (e.g., avoiding traffic) strategies, and outcomes of appropriate or risky driving. Findings illustrated CVs’ driving difficulty and informed development of a Veteran-centric driving intervention. Improving driving fitness has implications for Veterans’ participation and community integration.
