Ensuring safety around roadway work zones is difficult which is evident by the fact that despite considerable safety measures, drivers and workers are still exposed to risks. An incomplete … [Read more...] about Improving Work Zone Safety: Integrating VR-CARLA Co-Simulation and Eye Tracking for Behavior Analysis of Drivers Around Work Zones
Eye Fixations
Distraction of Experienced Drivers at a Construction Site Using Eye Tracker
More than a million people die and many more are injured every year in road crashes. There are various factors, which affect the chances of a road traffic injury, and many of them can be avoided/ … [Read more...] about Distraction of Experienced Drivers at a Construction Site Using Eye Tracker
Using Eye-Tracking for Traffic Control Signage Design at Highway Work Zone
This paper discusses the application of Eye Tracking (ET) technologies for researchers to understand a driver’s perception of signage at the highway work zone. Combining ET within a screen-based … [Read more...] about Using Eye-Tracking for Traffic Control Signage Design at Highway Work Zone
Evaluating the Impact of Mental Fatigue on Construction Equipment Operators’ Ability to Detect Hazards Using Wearable Eye-Tracking Technology
Construction equipment related accidents, such as collisions between equipment and pedestrian workers, pose a major challenge to occupational safety at construction sites. Decrement of operators' … [Read more...] about Evaluating the Impact of Mental Fatigue on Construction Equipment Operators’ Ability to Detect Hazards Using Wearable Eye-Tracking Technology
Road Sign Vision and Driver Behaviour in Work Zones
The effectiveness of roadwork signs on drivers’ safety is a poorly investigated topic. The present study examined visual fixations of 29 participants to work zone signs, while driving 27 km along … [Read more...] about Road Sign Vision and Driver Behaviour in Work Zones
Behavioral Measures for 48 Participants in Work-Zone Messaging Driving Simulation Study Collected in 2016 at the University of Minnesota
This study explored the impact of in-vehicle messages to alert drivers to events within a simulated work zone. Participants used a partial motion-based driving simulator made by Realtime Technologies, … [Read more...] about Behavioral Measures for 48 Participants in Work-Zone Messaging Driving Simulation Study Collected in 2016 at the University of Minnesota
