A NTUA Diploma Thesis titled “Analysis of drink and drive on driven behavior and safety in urban environment” was recently presented by Themis Bouropoulou. To achieve this goal, an experimental procedure was conducted using a driving simulator, through which the driving data of 35 participants were collected. To complete the necessary data collection, participants’ characteristics were also determined through a questionnaire survey. The analysis of the results was done through statistical analysis, specifically by developing statistical models using linear and binomial logistic regression. The main conclusions are that as the amount of alcohol in the body increases, the likelihood of an accident in an urban environment also increases. The distance from the vehicle ahead decreases as alcohol consumption increases. Finally, as the alcohol level in the body rises, the driver’s average reaction time to potential obstacles also increases.
