Postdoctoral Position in Traffic Accident Causation, Sweden
Postdoctoral Position in Traffic Accident Causation at Chalmers University
Study Subject: Traffic Accident Causation
Employer: Chalmers University of Technology
Level: Postdoctoral
The focus of this Post Doc position is analysis of driver behavior and the behavioral aspects of accident causation as informed by naturalistic data from passenger vehicles and trucks. The data available at SAFER have been and are being collected in Sweden and abroad (Europe). They are primarily what we call “objective” data (e.g. coding of driver actions from video or time-history data from vehicle/driver) rather than what we call subjective data (e.g. questionnaires or focus groups). The goal of the research is to analyze these data to develop a better understanding of the factors that contribute to incidents and crashes. Much of the work will be conducted in close collaboration with ongoing projects on accident causation and impact assessment of in-vehicle active safety systems . These projects conduct both time-history data analysis and psychological/behavioral modeling of driver behavior.
