Young novice drivers are overrepresented in crashes. One of the causes is their poor hazard perception skills. Can a brief PC-based prediction training speed up acquisition these skills? To investigate this was developed and tested. The consisted eight short videos from driver's perspective that ended crash or an emergency brake incident. Participants watched each video twice but only until moment dangerous scenario started to unfold. During following minute, they made as many predictions...
Interaction between road users is a fundamental part of the traffic system. The advent automated vehicles (AVs) has given rise to requirements for interactions AVs and other users, expressed in high-level terms like ‘demonstrate anticipatory behaviour’, ‘not confusing users’, ‘being predictable manageable users’. Operationalizing these social driving behaviours requires science knowledge on human interaction. However, translating behaviour unambiguously engineering domain necessitates that...
Meta studies on factors contributing to take-over performance did not include the design of request (TOR) signals, other than modality at which TORs are presented. A detailed understanding influence TOR is therefore lacking. To gain an overview level detail with designs reported in academic literature, by using and evaluating a novel classification framework. In this framework classified terms modalities, classes, underlying attributes. Furthermore, involves potentially competing background...
The ongoing technological development of automated vehicles is bringing their implementation ever closer. Until all are completely there will be a mix human driven and vehicles. To assess impacts such on traffic safety flow, techniques involving microsimulations often used. Here mixed scenario's simulated by assigning different behavioural models to driver generally remain unchanged when simulating penetration rates In the real world, however, phenomena like social contagion could result in...
Automation in urban freight transport is an important milestone for city logistics, but it challenging due to the complex traffic situations. While parcel volume soaring popularity of e-commerce – and especially accelerated by COVID, cities are thinking about future delivery system. consolidation expected bring disruptive changes system we know today. The aim present paper provide insight impact assessment method used results related Vienna. By applying analytical methods, show which impacts...
The current study explored the effect of on-road experiences with an automated shuttle (AS) on vulnerable road users' (VRUs) expectations about AS's actions. It was also whether experience interacted situational characteristics, subjects' trust in ASs and functional understanding affecting expectations. Subjects were presented online questionnaire which they had to indicate their actions different visualized traffic situations as well previous with, ASs. findings that by itself no influence...
