Abstract:How aggressive driving is defined, what factors precipitate such behavior, and what strategies effectively prevent and reduce the incidence of aggressive driving behavior are not widely understood. The proposed research sought to address these gaps through a two-phase project. The purpose of this project was to support work in Phase 1. A literature review was conducted to identify common definitions of aggressive driving, identify factors that precipitate such behavior, understand previously developed contextual models that explain its occurrence, and identify ways to reduce aggressive driving. A proposed definition of aggressive driving and a contextual model that could be used to represent factors and context that influence aggressive driving behavior was developed. Additionally, a survey of road users was implemented to assess the prevalence and correlates of aggressive driving behavior. A resource guidance document was created to help traffic safety practitioners bolster their current traffic safety efforts to address aggressive driving based on what was learned from the literature review and survey.
