9 report(s) found with driver in the keywords field  1 - 9 of 9 Local rural road travel has the highest injury crash incidence in North Dakota. Crashes on these roads were determined to differ in contributing factors and characteristics when compared to those on other rural roads. Crash data from 2006 to 2010 was studied to quantify factor magnitude in predicting... Keywords: crashes, driver behavior, local roads The initial statewide driver traffic safety survey provides baseline metrics for the TSO and others in understanding perceptions and behaviors related to focus issues. A core set of questions addresses nationally agreed upon priorities, including seat belts, drinking and driving, and speeding. In addition... Keywords: safety, driver, performance measures The initial statewide driver traffic safety survey provides baseline metrics for the TSO and others in understanding perceptions and behaviors related to focus issues. A core set of questions addresses nationally agreed upon priorities, including seat belts, drinking and driving, and speeding. In addition... Keywords: safety, driver, performance measures This report seeks to update and expand upon a 2007 (Vachal and McGowan) report by determining changes in traffic safety policy that may have occurred in each of the Northern Rocky Mountain Region (NRMR) states (Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming) between 2006 and 2010. The report will ascertain... Keywords: traffic safety, highway safety plan, driver license In an attempt to predict these crashes, North Dakota driver licensing data and crash data were used to develop a sample of 20,392 teen drivers age 14 to 17. Within the first year after being licensed, these drivers sustained 317 crashes that resulted in an injury or death. The resulting logistic regression...

A core set of questions addresses nationally agreed upon priorities, including seat belts, drinking, and speeding. In addition, questions... Keywords: safety, driver, performance measures Seat belts are a primary motor vehicle safety device. Studies have shown that seat belts not only decrease the likelihood of being injured in a crash, they also save lives (Abdel-Aty, 2003; Yamamoto and Shankar, 2004). Because of this, seat belt use is a primary concern of traffic safety professionals.... Keywords: occupant safety, seat belts, young drivers, traffic safety, driver behavior, rural, urban Traffic safety is a widespread social concern. Tackling the problem requires understanding the people who are driving. This includes information about driver behavior, but also about perceptions these drivers hold regarding their driving. North Dakota crash data points at a specific group of drivers... Keywords: young drivers, risky drivers, motor vehicle crashes, seat belts, impaired driving The goal of this study was to contribute localized information for decision-making to allocate traffic safety resources in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. The rural nature of the region differentiates its driving environment from other more... Keywords: safety, driver, fatalities, driving, rural
