Right of way violation crashes are the most common type of accidents that motorcyclists face. This study assessed right of way decisions in scenarios which require noticing whether there is traffic from behind that is about to overtake. A test was created which presents participants clips with a wide field of vision (from a driver's perspective in a moving vehicle), with mirror information inse...

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of different driving scenarios (urban, rural, highway) on the timing required by drivers from a two-stage warning system, based on car-to-car communication. Background: Car-to-car communication systems are designed to inform drivers of potential hazards at an early stage, before they are visible to them. Here, questions arise as t...

cognitive deficits such as impairments in attention, memory, information processing and executive functioning can be found in some parkinson's disease (pd) patients. recent studies suggested that pd drivers generally performed poorer than their healthy age-matched controls with regards to their cognitive and motor abilities during the psychometric testing. according to michon’s model of ca...

Operators of parking guidance and information (PGI) systems often have difficulty in providing the best car park availability information to drivers in periods of high demand. A new PGI configuration model based on the optimized combination method was proposed by analyzing of parking choice behavior. This article first describes a parking choice behavioral model incorporating drivers perception...

Statistical data on road safety indicates that drivers between ages 16-24 account for a high level of accidents and fatalities; in Israel 25% severe accidents and 5% fatalities occur during the first two years of driving, and young novice drivers are 10-times more likely to be in an accident during their first 500 miles. Ironically, the most common violations for this group are speeding (37%) a...

Does intentional car following capture visual attention to the extent that driving may be impaired? We tested fifteen participants on a rudimentary driving simulator. Participants were either instructed to follow a vehicle ahead through a simulated version of London, or were given verbal instructions on where to turn during the route. The presence or absence of pedestrians, and the simulated ti...

This paper presents a mixed-method analysis of car ownership in Reykjavik, Iceland, location with high motorization level and deeply rooted culture. We utilize qualitative interviews to understand vehicle possession reasons elaborate the study statistical using softGIS survey dataset characteristics respondents their residential location. focus on adults aged 25 40, who are suggested be less ca...

While the number of fatalities on Danish roads has decreased in the last 40 years, research has not investigated the contribution of legislation changes, enforcement measures, technological enhancements, infrastructural improvements and human factors to this reduction. In the context of a Danish car market with remarkably high registration tax that causes potential buyers to hold longer onto ol...
