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. ...
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 ...
Investigating the impact of innovative treatments on driving behavior at school bus stops: A driving simulator study
(
Qatar University Press
, 2021 , Poster)
The illegal overtaking/crossing of stopped school buses has been identified as one of the leading causes of students' injuries and fatalities. The likelihood of students in getting involved in a school bus-related crash ...
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 ...
Delay or travel time information? The impact of advanced traveler information systems on drivers’ behavior before freeway work zones
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Peak travel times contribute to congestion formation at freeway work zones. Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) can inform drivers in real-time about the delays and travel times en-route and can provide information ...
The impact of rural expressway environments: drivers’ attention allocation to variable message signs
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
Variable Message Signs (VMS) are implemented at varying locations of the expressway. In this study, we compared the drivers’ attention allocation to a ‘drive safely’ message on several VMS gantries that were located at six ...
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 ...
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 ...
Variable Message Sign strategies for Congestion Warning on Motorways
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Introduction Motorways are the safest roads by design and regulation. Still, motorways in the European Union accounted for nearly 27,500 fatalities from 2004 to 2013 (Adminaite, Allsop, & Jost, 2015). The likelihood ...
Improved driver behaviour at bus stops on local roads: Comparison of different treatments
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Every day, millions of students use school bus as a mean of transportation to and from schools. Nevertheless, most of the school bus related crashes occur at or near bus stops. The overtaking of stopped school buses during ...
