This study examined drivers’ behavior nearby dangerous curves when they are repeatedly exposed to the same transversal rumble strips which were located on tangent before curve. During a period of five successive days, sixteen participants completed 17km test-drive in driving simulator with four (two without and two strips) within-subjects design. The selection these was based official Belgian a...

The use of rumble strips on roads can provide drivers lane departure warning (LDW). However, rumble strips require an infrastructure and do not exist on a majority of roadways. Therefore, it is very desirable to have an effective in-vehicle LDW system to detect when the driver is in danger of departing the road and then triggers an alarm to warn the driver early enough to take corrective action...

Rumble strips aim to alert the driver of dangerous situations via acoustic and tactile stimulation. They can, however, also lead increased noise in surroundings. Strip parameters vehicle type determines size these vibratory effects. In our work, 16 rumble strip types (including with irregular spacing) were evaluated respect their effects on acoustics, vibration, perception. Interior exterior em...
