Abstract

This article discusses the importance of driver behavior analysis in improving public transportation safety. It specifically focuses on the case of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Istanbul Electricity Tram and Tunnel Operations General Directorate (IETT), which operates a large number of public vehicles in Istanbul, including buses, Metrobus, Beyoglu nostalgic tram, and Karakoy tunnel funicular system. The article highlights various technologies IETT uses to analyze driving behavior, such as GPS data analysis, bus telemetry data analysis, and driver behavior data analysis. It also presents an analysis of driver violation data obtained from a driver motion analysis system used by IETT to detect violations. The data shows that the most violated rule is seat belt fastening, followed by distraction, drowsiness, and other violations. The article suggests that analyzing driver behavior data can help identify areas where driver behavior can be improved, reduce the risk of accidents, and improve overall safety.

Sürücü ihlal analizi: İETT örneği

Abstract

Bu makale, toplu taşıma güvenliğinin artırılmasında sürücü davranış analizinin önemini tartışmaktadır. Özellikle İstanbul'da otobüs, metrobüs, Beyoğlu nostaljik tramvayı ve Karaköy tünel füniküler sistemi dahil olmak üzere çok sayıda kamu aracını işleten İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi İstanbul Elektrik Tramvay ve Tünel İşletmeleri Genel Müdürlüğü (İETT) örneğine odaklanmaktadır. Makale, İETT'nin sürüş davranışını analiz etmek için kullandığı GPS veri analizi, otobüs telemetri veri analizi ve sürücü davranışı veri analizi gibi çeşitli teknolojileri vurgulamaktadır. Ayrıca, İETT tarafından ihlalleri tespit etmek için kullanılan bir sürücü hareket analiz sisteminden elde edilen sürücü ihlal verilerinin bir analizini de sunmaktadır. Veriler, en çok ihlal edilen kuralın emniyet kemeri takma olduğunu, bunu dikkat dağınıklığı, uyuşukluk ve diğer ihlallerin izlediğini göstermektedir. Makale, sürücü davranışı verilerinin analiz edilmesinin, sürücü davranışının iyileştirilebileceği alanların belirlenmesine, kaza riskinin azaltılmasına ve genel güvenliğin iyileştirilmesine yardımcı olabileceğini öne sürmektedir.
