چکیده
In this paper we explore the time course of a lane change in terms of the driver’s control and eyemovement behavior. We conducted an experiment in which drivers navigated a simulated multi-lane highway environment in a fixed-base, medium-fidelity driving simulator. We then segmented the driver data into standardized units of time to facilitate an analysis of behavior before, during, and after a lane change. Results of this analysis showed that (1) drivers produced the expected sine-wave steering pattern except for a longer and flatter second peak as they straightened the vehicle; (2) drivers decelerated slightly before a pass lane change, accelerated soon after the lane change, and maintained the higher speed up until the onset of the return lane change; (3) drivers had their turn signals on only 50% of the time at lane-change onset, reaching a 90% rate only 1.5–2 s after onset; (4) drivers shifted their primary visual focus from the start lane to the destination lane immediately after the onset of the lane change. These results will serve as the basis for future development of a new integrated model of driver behavior. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Novice drivers tend to restrict their search of the road on dual-carriageways, relative to the scanning observed in experienced drivers. The present study determined whether the difference was the result of novices having limited mental capacity remaining after vehicle control had been maintained, or whether it resulted from an impoverished mental model of the events likely to occur on a dual-c...

The study, comparing dierent driver licensing methods, involved 267 subjects (132 male, 135 female) with a mean age of 19.6 years (range 17±23) who had obtained their driver's licence either by completing a competency-based training course (145 subjects) or by passing a practical examination (122 subjects). Subjects completed a survey regarding their driving attitudes, behaviours and experienc...

This study examined the causal factors associated with anger while driving and the possible consequences of that anger on driving behaviour. Drivers kept diaries over a period of two weeks, detailing the events occurring during each journey in that time, with notes on events such as near accidents and on feelings of anger. The study examined the diaries of 100 drivers, who reported a total of 2...

Car drivers appear to reduce their driving speed in high task demand situations. Summala's [Safety Sci. 22 (1996) 103±117]; [in: J.A. Rothengatter, & E. Carbonell Vaya (Eds.), Trac and Transport Psychology: Theory and Application, Pergamon, Oxford, 1997, pp. 41±52] model of behavioural adaptation (MBA) also assumes that drivers increase speed in low task demand situations or attend to addition...
