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, a driving simulator experiment with 35 drivers took place. The analysis of the results was carried out by linear and binomial logistic regression models. The main conclusions indicate that as the amount of alcohol in the body increases, the likelihood of a crash 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.
