Self-report data collection methods are widely used techniques to gather information in studies related to road safety. One of the most considerable limitations of self-reports is social desirability bias. One way to overcome the possible detrimental effects of socially desirable responding is to control it by using social desirability scales. With respect to that, the present study aims to adapt the Driver Social Desirability Scale into Turkish, examine its construct validity, and investigate the relationship between social desirability and driving-related measures. A total of 351 drivers between the ages of 19 and 59 completed a questionnaire including a demographic information form, the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ), the Driver Skill Inventory (DSI), the Two-Dimensional Social Desirability Scale (SDS), and the Driver Social Desirability Scale (DSDS). Factor analysis supported the two-factor structure of the DSDS in the Turkish sample. Social desirability correlated positively with age and driving experience. Female drivers reported higher levels of driver impression management, while male drivers scored higher on self-deception. Driver impression management was associated negatively with violations and perceptual-motor skills and positively with safety skills. Lastly, driver self-deception was positively related to violations, positive driver behaviors, perceptual-motor skills, and safety skills. The study shows that the Turkish version of the DSDS is a reliable and structurally valid instrument with incremental validity compared to the general social desirability measure in predicting driving-related outcomes.

A video tracker system for traffic monitoring and analysis
Ocaklı, Mehmet; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this study, a video tracker system for traffic monitoring and analysis is developed. This system is able to detect and track vehicles as they move through the camera’s field of view. This provides to perform traffic analysis about the scene, which can be used to optimize traffic flows and identify potential accidents. The scene inspected in this study is assumed stationary to achieve high performance solution to the problem. This assumption provides to detect moving objects more accurately, as well as ab...
Evaluation of multi target tracking algorithms in the presence of clutter
Güner, Onur; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
This thesis describes the theoretical bases, implementation and testing of a multi target tracking approach in radar applications. The main concern in this thesis is the evaluation of the performance of tracking algorithms in the presence of false alarms due to clutter. Multi target tracking algorithms are composed of three main parts: track initiation, data association and estimation. Two methods are proposed for track initiation in this work. First one is the track score function followed by a threshold c...
Leo satellites : dynamic modelling, simulations and some nonlinear attitude control techniques
Karataş, Soner; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this thesis nonlinear control method techniques are investigated to control the attitude of Low Earth Orbit satellites. Nonlinear control methods are compared with linear control methods. Simulations are done using Matlab and Simulink software and BILSAT-1 parameters are used in the simulations. Reaction wheels are used as the actuator.
Radiation characteristic analysis of tapered slot antennas
Cihangir, Aykut; Alatan, Lale; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of changes in the physical parameters of tapered slot antennas (TSA) on their radiation characteristics and also to explore the possibility of reconfiguration in the radiation pattern of TSA by switching between two different types of tapering. There are mainly three physical parameters that affect the radiation pattern of TSAs. These are antenna length, aperture width and the ground extension. After designing a wideband microstrip line to slot line transi...
On optimal resource allocation in phased array radar systems
Ircı, Ayhan; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, the problem of optimal resource allocation in real-time systems is studied. A recently proposed resource allocation approach called Q-RAM (Quality of Service based Resource Allocation Model) is investigated in detail. The goal of the Q-RAM based approaches is to minimize the execution speed in real-time systems while meeting resource constraints and maximizing total utility. Phased array radar system is an example of a system in which multiple tasks contend for multiple resources in order to...
