This paper discusses the overall design and implementation of a video sensor for the detection of risky behaviors of car drivers near previously identified and georeferenced black spots. The main goal is to provide the driver with a visual audio alert that informs of the proximity of an area of high incidence of highway accidents only if their driving behavior could result in a risky situation....

This paper proposes Multi-stream Minimum Acceptable Space (MMAS) Cellular Automata (CA) models to simulate driver behavior and its effects on traffic flow at three-lane roundabouts. Using cellular automata, the models are developed by modeling the detailed space considerations for drivers entering un-signalized threelane roundabouts. Heterogeneity and inconsistency of driver behavior and intera...

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) aim at supporting the driver with the driving task and are expected to lead to a safer, cleaner and more efficient and comfortable transport system. This paper presents the results of an Internet questionnaire among more than 1000 Dutch car drivers. Respondents indicated their needs for driver assistance with certain driving tasks and situations. It app...

In our country, Student transportations’ security and driving accidents statistics for students is one of the major concerns for relevant organizations such as educational organization. In current year, a system, was named Sepand, was formed in city taxi driver ::::::union:::::: by educational organization, NAJA traffic and city taxi driver ::::::union::::::. In this systems’ plan, ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between occupational cognitive failures (OCFs) and unsafe behaviors, accidents and driving offences among municipal bus drivers in Tehran, Iran. METHODS Systematic random sampling was used to select 190 drivers from 3 transport and traffic Tehran districts. Data were collected with the occupational cognitive failure questionnaire...

This paper investigated the effect of drivers’ visibility and their perception (e.g., to estimate the speed and arrival time of another vehicle) on the lane changing maneuver. The term of scope awareness was used to describe the visibility required by the driver to make a perception about road condition and the speed of vehicle that exist in that road. A computer simulation model was conducted ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the interrelationship between driver distraction and characteristics of driver behavior associated with reduced highway traffic efficiency. BACKGROUND Research on the three-phase traffic theory and on behavioral driving suggests that a number of characteristics associated with efficient traffic flow may be affected by driver distraction.
