Driving Simulator Validity of Driving Behavior in Work Zones
Driving simulation is an efficient, safe, and data-collection-friendly method to examine driving behavior in a controlled environment. However, the validity of a driving simulator is inconsistent when … [Read more...] about Driving Simulator Validity of Driving Behavior in Work Zones
A Psychological Perspective of Drivers’ Speed Preferences in Work Zones and its Implications for Policy and Practice
All traffic safety work conducted in Norway is based on the goal that nobody should be killed or severely injured in a traffic crash. According to this philosophy, called “Vision Zero”, road … [Read more...] about A Psychological Perspective of Drivers’ Speed Preferences in Work Zones and its Implications for Policy and Practice
Safety Analysis of Work Zone Complexity With Respect to Driver Characteristics — A Simulator Study Employing Performance and Gaze Measures
Driving is a complex task that consists of several physical (motor-related) and physiological (biological changes within the body) processes occurring simultaneously. The complexity of the task … [Read more...] about Safety Analysis of Work Zone Complexity With Respect to Driver Characteristics — A Simulator Study Employing Performance and Gaze Measures
