1.0 Background The increasing development makes human activity becomes more complex indirectly increase demand of all types of transport. Budhiartini & Isnaini (2007) in their research suggested that transportation was keeping pace with advance of human life and culture while Aldukali et. al. (2011) suggested that population growth, high income, and rapid urbanization have led in travel demand. In line with the purpose of transportation which is the movement of people or goods from one place to another for a specific purpose transportation was used by people going to work, to college, shopping centers and so on Budhiartini & Isnaini (2007).

From literature study, in Malaysia least research paper has been found that discussed on bus driver behavior classification especially in urban driving environment. Although most of researchers refers aggressive and riskier driving as driver who apply higher speed, sharp braking and acceleration and defensive driver as a driver who apply relax driving, however, there are no standard classification of driving behavior exist in any research paper or driving standard (Rohani, …show more content…
5.0 Scope To ensure that the goals and objectives are achieved, there is some scope focused in this study. First, the location of this study is at Kuala Lumpur and involves two main areas, Depoh Cheras Selatan and Putrajaya Central. Since the study only focus on bus there are two types of buses used in this study, MAN for the route of U43 (Putrajaya-Bandar Utama) and SCANIA for the route of U429 (Cyberjaya-Bandar Utama). The microscopic bus driving behavior data will be collected using Global Positioning System (GPS DG200) during bus operation. From GPS signal we can get the date, location, longitude and latitude also the time. This is to obtain the instantaneous of speed profile by the bus driver. Data from GPS (DG200) will be transfer into ‘Google Earth’ to choose the correct data. Since this study involved huge amount of data, special software will be applied to handle data processing and analysis. At the end of the study driving behavior will be clustering into three driving style (aggressive, normal and

Johnson, Teddi Dineley. " Distracted Driving: Stay Focused on the Road." American Public Health Association, Feb. 2012. Web. 06 July 2016.
Presentation Rationale Purpose: The purpose of this presentation is to inform others of the dangers of distracted driving and to persuade them to avoid practices that lead to distracted driving. This presentation will specifically show how cases of distracted driving accidents and near crashes are on the rise and how our increasing use of technology is a major contributing factor. The presentation will also show that these figures are especially high in young drivers. The goal is to have the audience take away an understanding of how attempting to focus on anything other than the road while behind the wheel is a dangerous act not only to themselves but for others as well.
Crime can be defined as an illegal action committed by people and that action is punishable by law. There are many reasons that drive people to commit crime. Some of them would be poverty, depression and other social and mental disorders. For this paper, I chose to write about the Greyhound Bus beheading case. There are many theories that would explain why Vincent Li (the murderer) committed the crime.
Three of the high risk behaviors account for texting and driving including “eyes off of the road, at least one hand off the wheel, and mind off the driving situation” (Hollister, 2013). The three actions a person partakes in while texting and driving fall into the three major categories the Center for Disease Control established. Once people begin texting and driving, they no longer pay attention to their driving and only their phone or tablet. Distracted driving takes away the reaction time of a driver from avoiding a crash. Comprehending danger while driving takes multiple seconds.
First of all, “13,000 lives lost each year due to speeding” and “39% male drivers, age 15 -20 were speeding at the time of their fatal vehicle crash” “(Dangers of Speeding While Driving)”, it’s important to know about this statistics because many people need to give speeding a second thought, they don’t understand what is going on around them, they only care about getting to their destination but often forget about increase risk of getting in a car accident or causing death. As far as defense driving goes, 94% of human’s errors are responsible for all crashes which proves that defensive driving is important if you don’t drive unsafely, it can cause serious crashes, injuries, or even death. With that in mind, “. Drivers cannot control what other people on the road are going to do, so it’s important that they put themselves in a solid position to avoid the consequences of any risky actions others may take” (“The Importance of Defensive Driving and Safety”). Lastly, not following the rules of the road, speeding and misinterpreting the concept of defensive driving can increase the number of car crashes and deaths and put lives at
December 16, 2016 - Period 8 Jake Silver Driving Toward Vaccination Since personal automobiles became common, car collisions have been a reality. Not including the 50 million people injured annually, there are 1.3 million global fatalities every year resulting from preventable car accidents. The United States federal government has blamed everything from the laws to the vehicles themselves – even simple chance. Studies proved these accusations incorrect. In fact, a major factor contributing to modern collisions is actually the driver's lack of driving knowledge.

Cars technology is not only used as a way of impacting our lives but also to provide a more safe and convenient environment for transportation and even as a way of making profits for various companies. In this paper, I argue that there has been various advancement in car technology and those technologies have impacted the society both positively and negatively. There has been a massive dependency on the fast advancing technology by the society as a way of making people’s lives and those of others comfortable. People are happy about the continued growth of the car technology and the use of these cars in carrying out our day to day activities such as means of transport to work, hospital, school or transportation of goods from various places to our destinations. With the continued advancement in the car technology, the urge to provide efficient, cheap and safer cars cannot be avoided.
• Delays, which may result in tardy advent for employment, meetings, and edification, resulting in lost business, disciplinary action or other personal losses. • Inability to forecast peregrinate time accurately, leading to drivers allocating more time to peregrinate "just in case", and less time on productive activities. • Wasted fuel incrementing air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions owing to incremented idling, expedition and braking. • Wear and tear on conveyances as a result of idling in traffic and frequent expedition and braking, leading to more frequent repairs and supersessions. • Stressed and frustrated motorists, emboldening road rage and reduced health of motorists • Emergencies: blocked traffic may interfere with the passage of emergency conveyances peregrinating to their destinations where they are exigently
