HANDS (Hands-On Assessment of Naturalistic Driving)

HANDS, or Hands-On Assessment of Naturalistic Driving, is a method used to study how people drive in real-life situations. It involves observing and recording drivers as they go about their daily routines, often with the help of cameras or sensors in their vehicles. This approach provides detailed insights into actual driving behaviors, such as how drivers respond to different road conditions and distractions. The goal is to better understand safety risks and develop ways to improve driver training, vehicle design, and road safety measures based on how people naturally drive.
