This report represents the results of a study which examined the safety effect of providing sealed shoulders, overtaking lanes, and edge lining on rural highways in Victoria. For shoulder sealing, a statistically significant reduction in casualty accident frequencies was found, equivalent to a 43 per cent reduction on a per vehicle kilometre basis. Comparing economic benefits and costs, a benef...

Most of drivers have to compensate small directional deviations from the desired driving path when disturbances such as crosswinds, overtakings, road irregularities and unintended driver inputs  are imposed. These types of deviations have a tiring effect on driver and traffic’s safety and should be minimised. To increase the understanding the influence of vehicle’s properties in crosswind and o...

Overtaking in motorsport races is a crucial action order to gain higher position during race. In Formula-E, it not only requires precisely performed overtaking manoeuvres but also appropriate energy management which element race strategy due the limited total amount of on board. This study proposes use optimal control techniques for feasibility and analysis such complex problem. The involves tw...

Overtaking behavior between non-motorized vehicles is one of the main characteristics cycling path, and unsafe overtaking has a certain negative impact on riders’ safety. However, little known about factors affecting decisions. This study aimed to identify influence road facilities, types vehicles, human bicycle lanes. DJI drone-based naturalistic riding research was explored in China random pa...

Lane changes with the intention to overtake the vehicle in front are especially challenging scenarios for forward collision warning (FCW) designs. These overtaking maneuvers can occur at high relative vehicle speeds and often involve no brake and/or turn signal application. Therefore, overtaking presents the potential of erroneously triggering the FCW. A better understanding of lane change even...
