  1. Evaluating the Safety Implications & Research Potential of “Green Box” for Young Drivers Driving Assessment, June 2005 Dr. Tsippy Lotan, Or Yarok, Israel Dr. Tomer Toledo, Technion, Israel

  2. OR YAROK = Green Light • 4 major projects: • Enforcement through volunteers • Young Drivers(Green Light for Life) • Public Motivation • The Ran Naor Research Foundation

  3. How do we get a driver’s license in Israel? Age 16.5 ---- • Theoretical test • At least 28 driving lessons by professional instructors • Driving test • At the age of 17 a driver license can be obtained • Followed by a 3 months phase of accompanied driving

  4. The Problem… Rate of involvement in car crashes by age Numbers per 10,000 driver (2003) Rate of severe accidents Rate of fatal accidents Green Light for Life Up to 18 Total

  5. FREE Green Light for Life

  6. questionnaires focus groups surveys feedback forms Accompanying research What people choose to say ---

  7. What people do -- • monitor drivers’ behavior • establish the relation between drivers’ driving profile and safety • establish change in drivers’ behavior

  8. How does it work? All trips are monitored Personal Driving Profile • Braking • Accelerating • Break into turn • Accelerate into turn • Turn while accelerating • Turn while braking • Turning • Accelerate while in turn • Break while in turn

  9. Information Specific to Driver Behavior

  10. Cautious, Moderate, and Aggressive Drivers as Seen on the Internet Profile:cautious Average of 0-20 maneuvers in 10 driving hours Profile:moderate Average 20-50 maneuvers in 10 driving hours Profile:aggressive Average 50+ maneuvers in 10 driving hours 10
