Investigating the Impacts of Graphical Route Information Panel Layouts on Drivers’ Comprehension and Response Time
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Graphical route information panels (GRIPs) are an alternative to conventional text-based variable message signs to address different traveler information needs. Since drivers are traveling at higher speeds on the motorways, ...
Variable message sign strategies for congestion warning on motorways - A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
Congestion and stopped traffic on motorways constitute a potential safety hazard for drivers. In particular, unexpected hard congestion tails are the causes of serious rear-end crashes as they compromise the drivers' ability ...
Investigating the impact of dynamic merge control strategies on driving behavior on rural and urban expressways – A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Harsh decelerations and abrupt lane changes of drivers on the outer expressway lane in response to merging platoon vehicles from on-ramps increase the crash- and congestion risk on expressways. Several merge control ...
Speed perception and actual speed in a driving simulator and real-world: A validation study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Driving simulators have become an effective research tool in traffic safety, but the validity of results obtained in simulated environments remains a debated issue of high importance. Objective: The objective ...
The relation between driving errors and executive functioning in intellectually able young novice drivers with autism
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Driving is a complex, goal-directed task. ASD can be related to impairments in executive functioning (EF), which may interfere with driving. This study aimed to investigate (1) if 16 young novice drivers with ASD exhibited ...
The relationship between impact speed and the probability of pedestrian fatality during a vehicle-pedestrian crash: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Pedestrians struck in motorised vehicle crashes constitute the largest group of traffic fatalities worldwide. Excessive speed is the primary contributory factor in such crashes. The relationship between estimated ...
The impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior in rural-urban transition road segments: A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
This driving simulator study investigated the impact of perceptual countermeasures on driving behavior by creating perceptual effects via pavement markings. Two different marking schemes (i.e. Optical Circles and Optical ...
Drivers’ estimation of their travelling speed: a study on an expressway and a local road
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Correctly estimating the travelling speed is essential for safety on the roads to ensure safer interactions with other drivers and to avoid violations of traffic regulations. Therefore, it is important to create understanding ...
Drivers� crossing behaviour between express and local lanes with soft separation: A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
In different countries, hard separation is adopted as a technique to separate express and local lanes. However, in case of an incident, especially on the express lane, traffic jams can occur as there is no escape route. ...
