Behavior in traffic conflict situations.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to find typical errors of traffic participants leading to frequent traffic-conflicts. For this purpose we registered conflicts and the types of behavior leading to them by observing 201 subjects driving along a standardized route and describing their behavior. The data collected this way, together with information about the driving record of the subjects obtained in exploration talks, were used to describe different groups of drivers by analyzing which forms of behavior affecting traffic safety were typical. In addition, the importance of communication and the genesis of conflicts were investigated.
