speed choice

The travel speed a driver selects and adapts: chosen speed, mean and variance of speed, speed relative to the posted limit, and speed adaptation to conditions. This is the longitudinal speed-selection outcome, distinct from how the driver decelerates to a stop or threat (braking_response) and from the spacing kept behind a lead vehicle (following_distance).
