This study examines typical near-collision scenarios involving vehicles and powered two-wheelers, focusing on the effects of collision scenarios, driving states, and risk conditions on drivers’ hazard perception and visual characteristics. Using quantile regression and generalized linear mixed models, the study quantitatively assesses how these factors influence hazard perception and visual behavior, uncovering the visual response mechanisms underlying hazard perception. The results reveal that different vehicle-to-powered two-wheeler collision scenarios significantly affect drivers’ hazard perception and visual behavior. Drivers exhibited higher hazard perception levels and collision avoidance success rates in “Crossing from Right” and “Cut-in from Right” scenarios, whereas lower hazard perception abilities were observed in “Crossing from Left” and “Oncoming” scenarios. Fatigue was shown to severely impair drivers’ alertness and visual search abilities, resulting in diminished hazard perception levels. Under high-risk conditions, while drivers exhibited reduced collision avoidance success rates, their heightened attention and vigilance toward powered two-wheeler enhanced hazard perception. Besides, the study also highlights a strong correlation between visual characteristics and drivers’ hazard perception. These findings are significant for understanding the mechanisms underlying drivers’ hazard perception in intersection scenarios and may provide a scientific basis for future developments in human–machine collaborative monitoring and intelligent traffic safety strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"114 ","pages":"Pages 575-596"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144321749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The surveys were conducted in 2022 and then again in 2023 and were timed to occur 12 months, and then 24 months, after the introduction of the new regulations. In both years overall observed helmet use averaged across all devices (including bicycles) was around 90 %. However, helmet use varied substantially across device type. Compared to cyclists, eScooter riders were around 1.6 times more likely to be unhelmeted, eSkateboarders were around 2.5 times more likely to be unhelmeted, and eWheel riders were around 3.4 times more likely to be unhelmeted. Around 15 % of eRiders admitted to not using a helmet at some point. The 2023 observational survey shows a decline in eScooter helmet compliance compared to the 2022 survey despite no change in cyclists’ helmet compliance being observed. Shared device riders were observed to be helmet non-compliant around 4 times more often than private device riders. The persistence, between the 2022 and 2023 survey, of a non-trivial lack of awareness of the regulations, noncompliance with the regulations, and risky behaviour, suggest that additional interventions are required to address these issues.

This often results in older drivers having to transition from ‘drivers’ to ‘retired drivers’ (RD), which has been associated with increased depressive symptoms. Despite the significant implications on well-being, only one previous review has systematically examined the literature on the relationship between driving cessation and depressive symptomology in older adults. <strong><em>Objective:</em></strong> This systematic review aimed to synthesise both cross-sectional and longitudinal literature examining the relationship between driving cessation and depressive symptomology in older adults. <strong><em>Data sources:</em></strong> The reviewed included peer-reviewed studies published up to April 2024 and were sourced from PsycINFO, PubMed and Scopus. To meet the inclusion criteria, studies had to: be peer-reviewed, be in English, have a mean participant age of over 65 years, include a measure of depressive symptoms, and include sample of RD. <strong><em>Results:</em></strong> A total of 19 cross-sectional and longitudinal studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings were consistent, with significant relationships reported between driving cessation and higher depressive symptoms in over 80 % of included studies, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. <strong><em>Limitations:</em></strong> The measures used to assess depressive symptoms were inconsistent across studies. Additionally, the studies did not define the length of time since driver retirement for their sample, limiting the ability to make accurate conclusions on the long-term effects of driving cessation on depressive symptoms. Future research should utilise valid and reliable measures of depressive symptoms and work towards a standard criterion for RD. <strong><em>Conclusions:</em></strong> Overall, the findings suggest that driving cessation is associated with higher depressive symptoms among older adults. This underscores the importance of providing tools and support to navigate and cope with this transition. However further research is required to better understand the relationship between driving cessation and depressive symptomology in older adults.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"114 ","pages":"Pages 535-549"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144297766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This issue has led to calls for effective interventions. Based on neuropsychological research indicating that colour stimuli play a significant role in driving phone engagement, one potential strategy to reduce road user phone use while on the road is activating greyscale on phones. By removing colour, the sensory reward associated with phone use may be diminished, potentially reducing usage. However, this approach has yet to be empirically tested. As such, the aim of this study is to investigate how greyscale influences phone use behaviours while driving and walking. Participants were asked to switch their phone interface from colour to greyscale for a duration of 2-weeks. A mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews, was employed to gather insights from participants regarding their perceptions of greyscale on their phone use behaviour while driving and walking. The quantitative results showed that greyscale decreased the frequency of participants glancing at their phone screens in a cradle while driving. However, using the greyscale feature did not lead to significant changes in the frequency of participants picking up the phone and looking at the screen while driving, nor did it increase participants’ use of other devices such as the in-vehicle infotainment system, smartwatches, or voice commands. Additionally, greyscale significantly reduced the probability of pedestrians using handsfree phones while walking, although greyscale did not influence the likelihood of looking at the screen of a handheld phone. The qualitative results revealed that the greyscale had a complex impact on road users’ phone behaviour. Greyscale altered how they used their phones, made them less appealing and enjoyable, and added complexity to phone use. However, some participants found work-around, though not everyone adopted them. Overall, the findings suggest that while greyscale effectively reduced some phone-related behaviours over a 2-week period, its impact on phone use behaviours while driving or walking was limited in scope, with mixed effectiveness across different contexts and with some users finding work-around.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"114 ","pages":"Pages 498-512"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144280259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, it is unknown how physiological and eye-tracking metrics are associated with different modalities of cognitive tasks in conditionally automated vehicles. Thus, through a driving simulation study with 42 participants, we investigated the effects of multidimensional cognitive demands, as imposed by multiple types of non-driving-related tasks, on drivers’ takeover performance, physiological responses, and eye-tracking metrics in conditionally automated vehicles. Results showed that certain takeover performance (i.e., vehicle speed and lateral acceleration), and physiological and eye-tracking metrics (i.e., differences between consecutive R-peaks, skin conductance level, variation in respiratory intervals, number of fixations, number of saccades and saccade angle) are still responsive to cognitive load in the context of driving automation. Further, the modality of the cognitive tasks can moderate the takeover performance (i.e., takeover time) and certain physiological (i.e., ratio of spectral power in the low- and high-frequency range and respiration depth) metrics.

These three latent constructs collectively represent the overall safety perception of sidewalks in the context of bus stop access. Further analysis found that most bus users prefer a minimum sidewalk width of 1.5–2 m and an increased minimum width of 2–4 m near bus stops.
