    Correlates of self-reported driving aberrations in Tehran: A study at the level of drivers and districts

    , Article Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour ; Volume 63 , 2019 , Pages 309-322 ; 13698478 (ISSN) Sahebi, S ; Nassiri, H ; de Winter, J. C. F ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    There are relatively few comprehensive studies on driving errors and violations in Iran, a non-Western country with a high traffic fatality rate. In this study, 712 drivers completed a questionnaire at technical inspection centres and carwashes in Tehran, Iran. Respondents were asked about their demographic characteristics, accident involvement, traffic fines, and driving aberrations in the form of the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ). The results of a principal component analysis of the DBQ showed a distinction between errors and two types of violations: speeding and non-speeding violations. Correlation analyses showed that DBQ violations were associated with a higher driving mileage, a... 

    Analysis of driving simulator sickness symptoms: zero-inflated ordered probit approach

    , Article Transportation Research Record ; Volume 2673, Issue 4 , 2019 , Pages 988-1000 ; 03611981 (ISSN) Nickkar, A ; Jeihani, M ; Sahebi, S ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Driving simulators can provide safe real-world driving conditions that may help researchers study driving behavior; however, driving simulator sickness (DSS) has been recognized as one of the most frequent challenges associated with using driving simulators. The DSS issue may affect the validity and reliability of results obtained during the driving simulator experience. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the potential consequences of DSS in the virtual environment of a driving simulator. The goal of this study is to analyze DSS symptoms among participants of a driving simulator by their demographics. The samples of four simulator studies were combined, including a total of 259... 

    Assessing the effect of inattention-related error and anger in driving on road accidents among Iranian heavy vehicle drivers

    , Article IATSS Research ; Volume 45, Issue 2 , 2021 , Pages 210-217 ; 03861112 (ISSN) Shams, Z ; Naderi, H ; Nassiri, H ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier B.V  2021
    Abstract
    Extensive studies have examined the effect of variables such as demographic characteristics, insomnia, and working conditions of drivers individually on inattention-related error as well as expression of anger in driving. Nevertheless, so far no study has tested the concurrent effect of these factors on crashes. This study has dealt with indirect investigation of the effect of variables including demographic characteristics, insomnia, and working conditions of drivers on inattention-related error and expression of anger in driving (as mediation model). Next, the effect of these two variables on the probability of incidence of road crashes has been assessed among truck drivers. For this...
