This $332,816 Project Grant from the Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to Morgan State University will support research to decrease erratic driving behaviors caused by aggression, distraction, and fatigue. Using the university's full-scale, high-fidelity driving simulator capable of replicating on-road conditions, the research team will study driving metrics such as lane changing, acceleration, braking, steering control, speed, and crashes in real-time. The work aligns with the goals of the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 20.237) to enhance commercial motor vehicle safety through partnerships. The grant period is from July 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024.

This award to the morgan state university is for research related to decreasing drivers erratic behavior caused by or rooted in aggressive driving, distracted driving, and fatigue the research team will use a full scale high fidelity driving simulator that is in the safety and behavioral analysis center at morgan state university the driving simulator is capable of replicating driving tasks on different roadways and pavement types, under various traffic conditions and composition, and weather conditions data such as lane changing, acceleration, braking, steering control, speed, and crashes are recorded in real time by the driving simulator software
