The Impact of In-Vehicle Traffic Lights on Driving Characteristics in the Presence of Obstructed Line-of-Sight

In-vehicle traffic lights (IVTLs) have been identified as a potential means of eco-driving. However, the extent to which they influence driving characteristics in event obstructed on-road (ORTLs) has yet be fully examined. Firstly, situation partially deployed IVTLs both vehicles was analyzed identify factors that affect characteristics. Through following distance model, relative vehicle speed, acceleration and deceleration, were recognized contributing factors. The evaluation indicators for thereby further established. Then, hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform built using PreScan 8.5-MATLAB/Simulink R2018b joint software Logitech G29 device. implemented modules software. Finally, under scenarios ORTLs various deployment conditions IVTLs, original data collected from 50 experimental subjects with simulated driving. included 25 males females, all whom non-professional drivers, ages ranging 20 40 years old. conclusion reached could improve comfort by approximately 10% sunny weather (p = 0.008 < 0.05, p 0.023 0.05; 0.046 0.001 0.05), maneuverability 30% foggy 0.033 safety 50% truck scenario 0.019 0.05). In general, even if only one equipped certain gain effects on still provided.
