• Abstract:
  The 100-Car Naturalistic Driving Study was undertaken with the goal of obtaining data on driver performance and behavior in the moments leading up to a crash. The results of the current study in conjunction with Hanowski, Keisler, and Wierwille (2004) indicated that Light vehicle-Heavy vehicle (LV-HV) interactions represent a serious problem. While there were several differences across the three studies, the results consistently showed that LV drivers are more likely to be responsible for the LV-HV interaction than HV drivers. It is believed that the results from the 100-Car, SB, and L/SH studies provide a more complete description of the LV-HV interaction picture. Further, the comparisons among these three studies address the limitations of not having LVs and HVs instrumented. The detailed analyses that were conducted provide insight into how this problem might be addressed
