The emphasis of this study lies in behavior change after using car apps that assist users in using their vehicles and establishing a process for examining the interrelationship between car app’s persuasive characteristics and behavior change. A categorizing method was developed and 697 car apps were investigated and classified into eight categories. Meanwhile, an evaluation guideline was develo...

The car-following model is a basic model of microscopic traffic simulation. The complexity of car-following behavior is suggested by a large number of factors that influence car-following behavior. Moreover, as shown repeatedly in laboratory studies of human performance, humans are very adaptable and will develop new strategies for new situations. Meanwhile, human performance and the informatio...

Car use for commuting contributes to various environmental and traffic problems, such as pollution and congestion. Policies aimed at reducing commuter car use will be more effective when they target important determinants of car use and willingness to reduce it. This study examined whether variables reflecting self-interest (from the theory of planned behavior [Ajzen, I. (1985). From intentions...

the control of car following is essential due to its safety and its operational efficiency. for this purpose, this paper builds a model of car following behavior based on armax structure from a real traffic dataset and design a model predictive control (mpc) system. based on the relative distance and relative acceleration of each instant, the mpc predicts the future behavior of the leader vehic...

The objective of this paper is to use the Wheel of Consumer Analysis to identify, cultural differences between American and Chinese people in North America regarding their car buying behavior. The study is based on the consumer behavior model proposed by J. Paul Peter and Jerry C. Olson (1994), which helps to explain the reasons for buyer behavior differences between American and Chinese people...

The car following model is a key element in driver behavior modeling. A PD controller car-following model is a popular and realistic model. A big problem met in designing driver behavior models is the absence of reliable data from the real traffic. However, experiments using an instrumented vehicle driven in the real world supplied the radar tracking data. This paper first analyzes the desired ...

The predictive power of the Ajzen, Triandis, and Schwartz models are compared in the context of car use for university routes. Two hundred fifty-four students filled out a questionnaire designed to measure the components of the three models. In the prediction of intention to use a car, results indicated that one variable from the Trinandis model—role beliefs—increased the explanatory power offe...
