TOWARDS AN ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND CAR DRIVER BEHAVIOUR JUST BEFORE A CRASH

Abstract This paper presents an experiment managed within the framework of the regional French project. We study in particular the human physical reactions in order to try to adapt passive security to driver behavior, particularly how she/he modifies her/his posture just before a frontal crash. The first experiment was realized with a car driving simulator, and was carried out on 30 subjects whom were asked to drive along a run of 50 kilometers to the unknown pre-crash situation. The data analysis step puts forward out of position of the driver during the pre-crash and their attempt to control the situation.
