The National Surface Transportation Safety Center for Excellence (NSTSCE) at Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) hosted the Fifth International Symposium on Naturalistic Driving Research at The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center in Blacksburg, Virginia on August 30-31, 2016, with the Motorcycle Research and Technology Workshop and Women in Transportation Seminar – The Future of Transportation following on September 1.
The symposium provided researchers and practitioners with an overview of international naturalistic driving studies, a method designed to track driver behavior in real-time. Panelists discussed their research findings from a variety of vehicle types and driver demographics, including automated and connected vehicles, teen drivers, and motorcycles. Guests also interacted with panelists to discuss naturalistic driving in their respective countries and gained insight into the next generation of naturalistic driving studies.
