The Effects of Guidance Method on Detection and Scanning at Intersections - a Pilot Study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Older drivers are frequently involved in collisions at intersections. One reason may be inadequate head and eye scanning when approaching the intersection. Prior driving simulator research on scanning at intersections has employed two main methods to guide subjects through the simulated world: auditory instructions similar to GPS navigation and following a lead vehicle. However, these two methods may have differing effects on head and eye scanning behaviors. We therefore conducted a pilot study to assess the effects of guidance method on participants' head and eye movements as well as their detection of motorcycle hazards at intersections. Detection rates were significantly higher when following a lead vehicle than when following GPS instructions, but participants were closer to the intersection when they responded. Preliminary examination of the head and eye movement data suggests participants scanned less frequently when following the lead vehicle.

Priority Order for Improvement of Intersections using Pedestrian Crash Prediction Model
One of the most important needs of pedestrians is safety at crossing points, especially at intersections. Intersections are important parts of the urban road network because any disruption in them reduces the capacity of the entire network. The main objective of this research is to propose an appropriate method for prioritizing urban intersections with considering the important factors affectin...
متن کاملDeveloping an Analytical Model and Simulation of The Contraflow Left-Turn Lane at Signalized Intersections
At some intersections, excessive queue lengths may spill out of the left-turn bay and block the through lanes, jeopardizing level of service for the entire intersection. One of the most effective plans recently presented by the researchers is the "Contraflow left-turn lane" (CLL) In this method, left-turn vehicles will use the nearest lane in the opposite direction in addition to the usual left...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Impact of user’s Violations on the Saturation Flow Rate at Signalized Intersections
Accurate estimation of saturation flow rate is a prerequisite for accurate estimation of level of service and delays of signalized intersections. Saturation flow rate of intersections depends on many factors, including traffic behavior and culture. One of the important problems of traffic behavior in Iran is the violation of law at the physical region of intersections. The main purpose of this ...
متن کاملReducing Light Change Effects in Automatic Road Detection
Automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. Most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. Color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. In order to reduce the light change ...
متن کاملAssessing Behavioral Patterns of Motorcyclists Based on Traffic Control Device at City Intersections by Classification Tree Algorithm
According to the forensic statistics, in Iran, 26 percent of those killed in traffic accidents are motorcyclists in recent years. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the causes of motorcycle accidents because of the high number of motorcyclist casualties. Motorcyclists' dangerous behaviors are among the causes of events that are discussed in this study. Traffic signs have the important role of...
