abstract="This article presents a literature review of vehicle lane change accidents. A lane change events occurs when the driver is in the process of maneuvering the vehicle laterally from one lane to another. The authors stress that the development of countermeasures to reduce events associated with changing lanes and passing requires an understanding of drivers' behaviors, the timing of those behaviors, and the driving environment's influence on the behaviors. The literature review begins with a discussion of the various historical definitions and parameters important to understanding lane changes. Specific topics include lane-change crash scenarios, monitoring areas surrounding the vehicle, forward area (in the same lane), forward adjacent lane area, lane change duration, range and range-rates, time-to-collision, vehicle position, turn signal use, eye movements, mirror glances and mirror glance duration search and scan patterns, and the effect of traffic. The review concludes with a discussion of an earlier naturalistic lane-change study (Lee, Olsen, and Wierwille, 2004).<p />",
