This paper presents the results of a cost-effectiveness study concerning the effects of an overtaking prohibition on two lane rural roads. Overtaking prohibitions are being implemented in the Netherlands aiming to improve safety. Overtaking frequency on road sections with and without overtaking prohibition are measured by means of camera observations Overtaking frequencies were determined by co...

This driving simulator study investigated how mandatory and voluntary ISA might affect a driver's overtaking decisions on rural roads, by presenting drivers with a variety of overtaking scenarios designed to evaluate both the frequency and safety of the manoeuvres. In half the overtaking scenarios, ISA was active and in the remainder ISA was switched off. A rural road was modelled with a number...

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are available on the market whilst the development of existing systems and new systems continues. Improving safety is one of the key purposes of these systems. ADAS would therefore be welcome to support overtaking manoeuvres, since these cause many fatal accidents each year. Before an ADAS could be developed that can assist drivers with overtaking a tho...

This study has a research of HMM and recognizes current driving intention, Moreover, using time to judge whether the behavior is overtaking behavior or not. Next, MSS was used to judge whether the overtaking conditions met or not. In addition, if they do not meet there will be a warning for driver. Use Gauss density functions to improve P-2D-HMM and discriminate driving intention, then identify...

overtaking a slow lead vehicle is a complex maneuver because of the variety of overtaking conditions and driver behavior. in this study, two novel prediction models for overtaking behavior are proposed. these models are derived based on multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (manfis). they are validated at microscopic level and are able to simulate and predict the future...

In semiconductor manufacturing due to rework and re entrant ow overtaking of wafers can occur The e ect of overtaking is that cycle times at successive service centers are not mutually independent As far as the distribution of cycle times is concerned only higher moments are a ected the mean cycle time remaining unchanged by the in uence of overtaking Further in the literature it is conjectured...

DAVI project, which is the abbreviation for Dutch Automated Vehicle Initiative, aims to explore, improve and demonstrate automated driving on public roads. The ultimate goal of the project is to achieve a full autonomous vehicle without any driver, but only users on it. Compared with traditional human driving, automated driving is an appealing topic due to its advantages of enhancing road safet...

The main goal of an overtaking monitor system is the segmentation and tracking of the overtaking vehicle. This application can be addressed through an optic flow driven scheme. We can focus on the rear mirror visual field by placing a camera on the top of it. If we drive a car, the ego-motion optic flow pattern is more or less unidirectional, i.e. all the static objects and landmarks move backw...

Overtaking maneuvers on two-lane rural roads are difficult maneuvers which involve relatively complicated decisions. The main hypothesis tested in this paper is that the frequency of overtaking maneuvers on a driving simulator is associated with a faulty decision making style in the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), a popular decision task employed for assessing cognitive impulsivity. In a controlled s...
