between different categories of drivers. We analysed the naturalistic driving performance
of 19 French drivers using an instrumented vehicle. We assessed their sensation seeking
scores with the Zuckerman questionnaire. We observed a significant correlation between
their sensation seeking score and their mean speed on motorway. We set up a method to
model their tactical behaviour and investigate possible correlation between their
sensation seeking score and their tendency to perform certain types of behaviour. We
applied it to the study of lane changes on motorways. We could model two categories of
lane changes but we show that they were not correlated with the sensation seeking
score. Despite this negative first result, we are proposing an innovative approach for this
kind of study.
