The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness blind spot monitoring systems in preventing police-reported lane-change crashes.Poisson regression used compare crash involvement rates per insured vehicle year crashes 26 U.S. states during 2009-2015 between vehicles with and same models without optional system, controlling for other factors that can affect risk.Crash were 14% lower (95% confidence limits -24% -2%) among than those without.Blind are effective when considering all...
Objective Although partial driving automation systems are usually discussed as convenience features, consumers sometimes consider them to be safety features. The goal of this study was assess if reduces rear-end and lane departure crashes beyond like automatic emergency braking (AEB) prevention (LDP).
Objective E-scooter use has grown rapidly in the United States. Its rise popularity coincided with promotion of cycling many cities, but more needs to be known about how these transportation modes compare determine if should serve as an appropriate benchmark for policy decisions and safety expectations regarding e-scooters.Methods We examined characteristics adults seeking treatment a Washington, DC, emergency department (ED) injuries associated riding e-scooters during 2019 (n = 99) or...
Objective Automatic emergency braking (AEB) and forward collision warning (FCW) are effective at preventing rear-end crashes, but they may perform better in some crash scenarios than others. The goal of this study was to estimate the effects front prevention systems equipped passenger vehicles crashes where another vehicle, a medium/heavy truck, or motorcycle is struck compare effectiveness by vehicle type.
Information about drivers' experiences with driver assistance technologies in real driving conditions is sparse. This study characterized interactions forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, active lane keeping, side-view assist, and departure warning systems following real-world use.Fifty-four Insurance Institute for Highway Safety employees participated drove a 2016 Toyota Prius, Honda Civic, 2017 Audi Q7, or Infiniti QX60 up to several weeks. Participants reported mileage...
Level 2 driving automation has the potential to reduce crashes; however, there are known risks when using these systems, particularly as they relate drivers becoming disengaged from driving. This paper provides data-driven recommendations for design best currently available methods encourage driver engagement and communicate where how a system can safely be used. Our pertaining concern management systems that monitor signs of disengagement return loop multimodal escalation process with...
Dark conditions are among the circumstances under which pedestrian fatalities have experienced largest increases. This study examines nighttime effects of continuous and triggered illuminators at crosswalks on driver behavior: yielding to pedestrians reducing speeds by ≥10 mph (16 km/h) ≥5 (8 km/h). The also compares rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) in conjunction with crosswalk RRFBs alone alone. Driver staged as well vehicle were observed four (in Kalamazoo, Michigan, U.S.) night...
