Experience UDRIVE in the Hague

June 2017 sees the completion of the EU UDRIVE project, a practical driving study which aims to provide insight into driver behaviour during every-day trips. The project is recording details of the driver, the vehicle and surrounding traffic in a range of situations including acceleration, lane position, speed, eye movements, traffic densities or road conditions. 120 cars, 32 trucks and 40 scooters have been collecting data for up to 21 months, equipped with several video cameras covering both the external

June 2017 sees the completion of the EU UDRIVE project, a practical driving study which aims to provide insight into driver behaviour during every-day trips. The project is recording details of the driver, the vehicle and surrounding traffic in a range of situations including acceleration, lane position, speed, eye movements, traffic densities or road conditions.


120 cars, 32 trucks and 40 scooters have been collecting data for up to 21 months, equipped with several video cameras covering both the external view of the vehicle and the internal view, including the driver’s face, hands and feet. 8054 FIA Region I is a partner in the UDRIVE project.

On 7 June, the interactive UDRIVE Experience will be presented at the 6th International Naturalistic Driving Research Symposium in The Hague, the Netherlands, allowing participants to find out what data was collected as part of the study, the results and their implications.

    Observing driver behaviour in real traffic condition
    The EU’s UDRIVE project will investigate driver behaviour in terms of road safety and the decarbonisation of road transport, as Nicole van Nes and Silvia Curbelo explain. There were nearly 25,700 fatalities on European Union (EU) roads in 2014 or, to look it another way, roughly 70 people are killed in traffic accidents on European roads every day - and many more are injured. Around 22% of the fatalities are pedestrians, 15% will be motorcycle riders and 8% cyclists. So despite the improvements in road safe

    10th workshop on naturalistic driving studies
    The tenth stakeholder workshop on naturalistic driving studies (NDS), organised in collaboration with the UDRIVE project, will be held in Brussels on 26 November at Ertico-ITS Europe. The workshop will focus on NDS which is defined as ‘a study undertaken to provide insight into driver behaviour during every day trips by recording details of the driver, the vehicle and the surroundings through unobtrusive data gathering equipment and without experimental control’.

    UDRIVE workshop – Europe’s first integrated riving study
    UDRIVE is the first large-scale integrated driving study in Europe and aims to provide in-depth knowledge in a number of areas. Cars, trucks and motorcycles will be equipped with sensors and cameras for around one year and provide continuous and detailed information about the driver and the vehicle in interaction with other road users. This will result in a wealth of information about everyday trips on European roads. The UDRIVE project started in October 2012, and the forthcoming UDRIVE workshop offers the
