“…The sample included 178 young drivers aged from 19 to 22. A motive to research young drivers is the fact that MVCs represent a leading cause of deaths in this population (WHO, 2018;Jannusch et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020). Besides the expected valuable conclusions from this research, we believe this kind of study can increase the awareness of young people about the significance of proper behavior in traffic, potentially saving someone's life.…”

This paper examines how a driver’s perception of various speed levels, as well as driver’s speed perception from different positions, affect the propensity for motor vehicle crashes (MVCs). Data collection is performed in twelve experiments. 178 young drivers assessed the speed level from four positions; three of them relate to the speed perception of other vehicles on the road, while the remaining one represents the assessment of own speed. At each position, three speed levels were assessed: 30, 50, and 70 km/h. To process data, seven Type-2 fuzzy inference systems (T2FISs) are designed and tested in a sense of compliance with the empirical data. As a result, a relationship between the various forms of speed perception and participation in MVCs can be quantified. To examine the initial conclusions, the optimization of each of these T2FISs is performed by implementing the bee colony optimization (BCO) metaheuristic. The BCO based algorithm proposed in this paper achieved an average improvement of 21.17% in the performance of the initial T2FIS structures. The final results indicate that the drivers whose speed perception of the vehicle they are looking at from the rear side, as well as of the own vehicle, is poor have an elevated risk toward participation in MVCs compared to other forms of speed perception. The best-found T2FIS structures can be used as a decision-making tool that quantifies the driver propensity for MVCs, which can be useful in various educational and recruitment procedures in the field of transportation and traffic safety.

BACKGROUND Young drivers (YDs) are disproportionately injured and killed in motor vehicle crashes throughout the United States. Nationally, YDs aged 16 to 20 years constituted nearly 9% of all traffic-related fatalities in 2018. A Nevada Advanced Driver Training (ADT) program for YDs aims to reduce YD traffic injuries and fatalities through four modules taught by professional drivers. The program modules include classroom-based didactic lessons and hands-on driving exercises intended to improve safe driving knowledge and behaviors. The overarching purpose of this study was to determine if the Nevada ADT program achieved its objectives for improving safe driving knowledge and behaviors based on program-provided data. A secondary purpose of this study was to provide recommendations to improve program efficiency, delivery, and evaluation. The findings of this study would serve as a basis to develop and evaluate future ADT interventions. METHODS The exploratory mixed methods outcome evaluation used secondary data collected during three weekend events in December 2018 and March 2019. The study population consisted of high school students with a driver’s license or learner’s permit. Pretests/posttests and preevent questionnaires on student driving history were matched and linked via personal identifiers. The pretests/posttests measured changes in knowledge of safe driving behaviors. This study used descriptive statistics, dependent samples t test, Pearson’s r correlation coefficient, and χ 2 (McNemar’s test) with significance set at p = 0.05, 95% confidence interval. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS version 24 (Armonk, NY). Qualitative data analysis consisted of content and thematic analysis. RESULTS Responses from YD participants (N = 649) were provided for analysis. Aggregate YD participant knowledge of safe driving behaviors increased from a mean of 43.9% (pretest) to 74.9% (posttest). CONCLUSION The program achieved its intended outcomes of improving safe driving knowledge and behaviors among its target population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic/Epidemiologic, Level V.
