Using data and technology to keep young drivers safer
A study into using telematics technology to improve driving behaviours of young drivers has received funding from the federal government’s Road Safety Innovation Fund.
Telematics is an interdisciplinary field that includes telecommunications and information processing. This study will use a telematics device to capture real-time data about vehicle usage, such as acceleration, speed, turning, and braking to paint a picture of the driver’s behaviour.
The study will be conducted by Dr Sharon Chen and Professor Denny Meyer from Swinburne’s School of Health Sciences
