Conditionally automated vehicles (level 3) allow drivers to engage in visual, non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) while the automation is active. System limits require drivers to reengage in the dynamic … [Read more...] about Peripheral Monitoring of Traffic in Conditionally Automated Driving

Evaluation of Speeding and Behaviour of Drivers in Roadwork Zones
Due to the increased traffic flow, more and more roadwork zones are formed in highways. Accidents are a significant problem in all European countries in roadwork zones while noncompliance with speed … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Speeding and Behaviour of Drivers in Roadwork Zones
Modeling and Predicting Stochastic Merging Behaviors at Freeway On-Ramp Bottlenecks
Merging behavior is inevitable at on-ramp bottlenecks and is a significant factor in triggering traffic breakdown. In modeling merging behaviors, the gap acceptance theory is generally used. Gap … [Read more...] about Modeling and Predicting Stochastic Merging Behaviors at Freeway On-Ramp Bottlenecks
Evaluation of Green Lights on TMAs
The use of green versus traditional amber lights on Truck Mounted Attenuators (TMAs) was investigated to see if their use could help to improve safety in mobile work zones. Four light color … [Read more...] about Evaluation of Green Lights on TMAs
Exploring the Effects of the Location of the Lane-End Sign and Traffic Volume on Multistage Lane-Changing Behaviors in Work Zone Areas: A Driving Simulator-Based Study
The lane-changing behavior in work zone areas has special features than a regular lane change as the former is usually compulsively motivated involving complicated cognitive processes with drivers’ … [Read more...] about Exploring the Effects of the Location of the Lane-End Sign and Traffic Volume on Multistage Lane-Changing Behaviors in Work Zone Areas: A Driving Simulator-Based Study
Time-varying Mixed Logit Model for Vehicle Merging Behavior in Work Zone Merging Areas
This study aims to develop a time-varying mixed logit model for the vehicle merging behavior in work zone merging areas during the merging implementation period from the time of starting a merging … [Read more...] about Time-varying Mixed Logit Model for Vehicle Merging Behavior in Work Zone Merging Areas
