What the Data tells Us About Human Factors & Driver Response
We have conducted more scientific research into driver, rider and pedestrian response (forensics) than anyone else in the field. From test tracks to simulator and naturalistic studies.
We have processed data out of SHRP2 across 3500 automobiles, 1000 crashes and 3500 near crashes in addition to peer review journals and the numerous conferences we attend. The best research takes research by others and builds upon it. We of course also author our own research and are notified when others cite ours.

Approach
ON-DEMAND CONTENT
Scientific Methods to Evaluate a Driver Response
Comparative Approach Backed By Numbers
- Eliminate bias from your analysis
- Don’t try to read the mind of the driver
- Don’t use a random or “average” number – every crash is different
- Apply the research to the fact and circumstances of your case
As crash investigators, it is essential to analyze every crash with a sound and accepted methodology. This presentation discusses how to apply a time-honored methodology when analyzing a driver’s response. The methodology involves comparing a given data point (your case) to a larger dataset (all peer reviewed research). Following this methodology allows an investigator to assess the behavior of a driver relative to how other drivers responded in a similar situation from research.
