This study analyses 2,765 cases of driving behaviours in three Australian states - New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. Data were gathered from in-car coordinated video and audio recording sequences in free-flowing traffic along two-, three- and four-lane highways with varying speed limits on all days of the week in daylight and fine weather conditions. Explanatory variables included driver age group and gender, passenger characteristics and vehicle age and type. Response variables included driving violations and other driving behaviours, including lane use, speeding, close following (tailgating), driver's hands position and mobile phone use. Data were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. By focusing upon vehicle and driver characteristics, and their impact on driving behaviours, including identified violations, this study explores some implications both for future research and for traffic policy makers.
本研究分析了澳大利亚新南威尔士州、昆士兰州和维多利亚州三个州的2765例驾驶行为。数据收集自两车道、三车道和四车道高速公路上自由流动的交通中车内协调的视频和音频记录序列，这些高速公路在一周中的所有日子、白天和晴朗天气条件下具有不同的限速。解释变量包括驾驶员年龄组和性别、乘客特征以及车辆年龄和类型。响应变量包括驾驶违规行为和其他驾驶行为，包括车道使用、超速、跟车过近（追尾）、驾驶员手部位置和手机使用情况。对数据进行了定性和定量分析。通过关注车辆和驾驶员特征及其对驾驶行为（包括已识别的违规行为）的影响，本研究探讨了对未来研究和交通政策制定者的一些启示。
