This study examines how favourable attitudes towards autonomous vehicle technology and automation-induced complacency relate to unsafe driving behaviours using semi-autonomous vehicles as an exemplar. The sample consisted of 441 college students and a repeated measures design was used to examine the relationships between psychological attitudes and...

Introduction: Driving with warning lights and sirens is highly demanding for ambulance drivers, and the crash risk is much higher than that during normal driving. In this study our goals were to establish a coding protocol to observe how often and how long potentially critical driving situations (PCDS) occur during “blue-light” driving (driving wit...

While vision zero has been widely accepted as a core goal of many transportation agencies, to date efforts to achieve this target provide mixed results. One path to improved performance is gaining more interest in the United States-the safe system approach. While a safe system approach has proven successful in other countries and has great potentia...

Background: Worldwide, 1.3 million people die because of a road traffic collision each year, with over half (57.7%) of such deaths in the United States involving a psychoactive substance. The prevalence of drink-drivers is slowly declining; however, the number of drivers under the influence of other drugs, such as sedatives, continues to rise.Objec...

V diplomski nalogi obravnavam problematično štirikrako križišče na državni cesti Petrovci – Martjanci. Pregled križišča začnem z analizo obstoječega stanja, kjer predstavim trenutno prometno ureditev, tehnične značilnosti in aktualno stanje vozišča. Iz podatkov agencije za varnost prometa RS analiziram prometne nesreče v preteklosti in preučim razl...

Increasingly more studies have implemented random regret minimization (RRM) as an alternative to random utility maximization (RUM) for modeling travelers’ choice-making behaviors. While for RUM, the focus is on utility maximization, for RRM the emphasis is on the regret of not selecting the best alternative. This study presented RRM and RUM for mod...

Pedestrians base their street-crossing decisions on vehicle-centric as well as driver-centric cues. In the future, however, drivers of autonomous vehicles will be preoccupied with non-driving related activities and will thus be unable to provide pedestrians with relevant communicative cues. External human–machine interfaces (eHMIs) hold promise for...

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new method to assess the safety impact of road treatment that influences long sections of road network, such as alternate road lighting, i.e. switching off every other road light at selected roads. The new method used Spatial Traffic Accident Analysis (STAA) - a network-based GIS hotspot analysis method - to ...

Whereas it has been shown that listening to music impairs the detection of auditory and visual signals, it is unclear to what extent music affects a cyclist's ability to detect and interpret hazardous traffic situations. In the current experiment, thirty-seven participants carried out a hazard perception test for cyclists. Participants were divided...

The study objective is to create a scale specifically for measuring driver fatigue and to analyze the scale's psychometric properties. The participants were 518 Spanish drivers. We carried out an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the first subsample obtained a single-item solution (eight items). We then performed a confirmatory factor analysis ...
