Effects of Cooperative Vehicle Infrastructure System on Driver’s Visual and Driving Performance Based on Cognition Process
This study explores the influence of cooperative vehicle infrastructure system (CVIS) on the driver’s visual and driving performance. Taking the work zone as an example, a driving simulation … [Read more...] about Effects of Cooperative Vehicle Infrastructure System on Driver’s Visual and Driving Performance Based on Cognition Process
Revealing the Impact of Mainstream Disruptions on On-Ramp Merging Behavior—A Virtual Reality (VR) Approach Using Work Zone Case Studies
Infrastructure disruptions such as lane closures present traffic efficiency and road safety challenges, especially on freeways. Such impacts become more significant when combined with compulsory … [Read more...] about Revealing the Impact of Mainstream Disruptions on On-Ramp Merging Behavior—A Virtual Reality (VR) Approach Using Work Zone Case Studies
Evaluation of Dynamic Speed Feedback Signs on Freeway Interchange Ramps
Dynamic speed feedback signs (DSFS) are promising countermeasure to reduce curve speeds and subsequent lane departures at freeway interchange ramps, although their use in such contexts has been … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Dynamic Speed Feedback Signs on Freeway Interchange Ramps
Quantitatively Evaluate Work Zone Driver Behavior Using 2D Imaging, 3-D Lidar & Artificial Intelligence in Support of Congestion Mitigation Model Calibration & Validation
This project addressed the following: 1) a lack of a system to process raw traffic footage obtained from work zones to extract traffic and driver behavior information, especially systems that leverage … [Read more...] about Quantitatively Evaluate Work Zone Driver Behavior Using 2D Imaging, 3-D Lidar & Artificial Intelligence in Support of Congestion Mitigation Model Calibration & Validation
Behavioral Traffic Safety Messaging on Variable Message Signs
Changeable, electronic, or dynamic message signs are used to provide real-time traffic information to drivers while en route to their destination. Many agencies also use these signs to display safety … [Read more...] about Behavioral Traffic Safety Messaging on Variable Message Signs
