Plaza, Ernst Tomasch, W. HellDriving task-related factors by definition are ‘directly and causally contributing to the accident occurrence, very
specific and detailed, are short-term lasting or dynamic in nature, and refer to the actual conditions of the
components’.
The aim was to analyse specific driving task-related factors to investigate how these type of factors affect the
driver undertaking their tasks within driving. A selection of driving task-related factors were chosen and
analysed using two types of analysis; by a statistical method and by an in-depth methodology developed in
TRACE.
Typical characteristics of these accidents were identified, and for a number of factors, typical failure generating
scenarios were also identified. From this, a list of possible countermeasures were defined with the aim of
preventing such accidents occurring. These included driver education, in-vehicle technologies and design issues.
Finally, benefits and limitations of the analysis undertaken are given, with recommendation for future work on
driving task-related factors.
