Impact of the geometric field of view on drivers’ speed perception and lateral position in driving simulators
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Driving simulators have become an effective tool in road safety research. In recent years, the validity of simulators raised debates concerning the extant to which driving in the simulator resembles driving in the reality. ...
Relating reactive and proactive aggression to trait driving anger in young and adult males: A pilot study using explicit and implicit measures
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Driving anger and aggressive driving are main contributors to crashes, especially among young males. Trait driving anger is context-specific and unique from other forms of anger. It is necessary to understand the mechanisms ...
Crowd Evacuation through Crossing Configurations: Effect of Crossing Angles and Walking Speeds on Speed Variation and Evacuation Time
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2022 , Article)
The design of safe and efficient pedestrian facilities necessitates the knowledge of complex human movements, such as intersecting pedestrian streams, under different conditions. This study aims to experimentally investigate ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
In the last few decades, cycling has received an increased attention due to its health, social, and economical benefits. Many countries are adopting different policies to encourage cycling as a daily mode of transport. In ...
Motorcyclists’ Safety on Expressways: Subjective and Objective Evaluations
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2019 , Article)
This study objectively and subjectively investigates the factors influencing motorcyclists’ safety on expressways. The relationships between motorcyclist stress while driving on expressways and potential influencing factors ...
A multi-country survey for collecting and analyzing facts related to road traffic safety: Legislation, enforcement, and education for safer drivers
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Road traffic safety is a crucial global objective. It is important for every country to review and improve road safety policies and strategies, based on an objective understanding of its own road traffic safety situation ...
Investigating the impact of a novel active gap metering signalization strategy on driver behavior at highway merging sections
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
A safe headway to the lead vehicle is important to reduce conflicts with merging vehicles from highway on-ramps. Previous research has outlined the advantage of gap metering strategies to yield sufficient space to merging ...
Empirical evaluation of drivers’ start-up behavior at signalized intersection using driving simulator
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Start-up behavior at signalized intersection mainly depends on perception reaction time of drivers to the green phase. This study investigated the start-up behavior at signalized intersections by considering reaction time, ...
Experiences with licensing by autistic drivers: An exploratory study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Autistic individuals obtain their driver's licenses significantly less or significantly later than non-autistic peers. In the past, research has been done on what problems autistic individuals experience when (learning to) ...
Analysis of the Trajectories of Left-turning Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Internationally, an annual number of more than a million fatalities are caused by road traffic crashes, with particularly signalized intersections being crash prone locations within the highway system. An accumulation of ...
