Property damage-only (PDO) crashes—frequent, non-injurious events—may represent early behavioural signals of unsafe driving tendencies associated with age-related cognitive and perceptual decline. Using a nationwide Japanese automobile insurance database (2013−2021) comprising 3,102,120 drivers with at least five years of continuous policy coverage, we examined whether prior PDO crashes predicted subsequent injury crashes. PDO crashes were defined as single-vehicle at-fault collisions reflecting operational or cognitive lapses, and injury crashes as at-fault collisions with pedestrians or cyclists. Drivers with a PDO history had substantially higher odds of injury crashes (overall odds ratio = 5.6, 95% CI: 5.0–6.4), with the association strengthening with age and reaching 8.4 among drivers in their 70s. The age-related increase in crash risk was limited to drivers with prior PDOs, suggesting that PDO involvement captures differences in adaptive driving behaviour. Among drivers in their 70s, injury crashes involving pedestrians outside crosswalks were overrepresented in the PDO group (false discovery rate, q = 0.098). Straight-road PDOs often preceded intersection right-turn injury crashes, implying attentional and decision-making demands during complex manoeuvres. These findings indicate that PDO crashes may serve as behavioural markers of emerging driving vulnerabilities before injury crashes occur. Monitoring PDO histories may support earlier, behaviourally informed identification of at-risk older drivers and guide targeted interventions within comparable traffic and licensing contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"121 ","pages":"Article 103715"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148525995","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}

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has become a crucial means to enhance system transparency and promote human-machine trust. This study aims to investigate the impact of different types of explanatory information (\"Why \" vs. \"Why + How \") on human-machine trust in intelligent driving. Combining EEG experiments and questionnaire surveys, the research examines users' trust attitudes under different psychological states. The study found that users' trust attitudes towards explanatory information are related to their state: in instantaneous decision-making states, detailed \"Why + How\"-Reason + Behavior explanations may instead trigger implicit distrust tendencies; whereas in natural states, users subjectively report higher trust in detailed \"Why + How\" explanations. This paradoxical result indicates that effective explanatory information design must be based on the user's driving state and context. Therefore, this study proposes that intelligent driving systems should possess the capability to dynamically adjust system transparency. We conclude that concise \"Why\" explanation is suitable for situations with high user cognitive load—such as emergencies or situations requiring rapid responses—while more detailed \"Why + How\" explanations can be provided when users are in a natural state. This adaptive transparency design strategy based on user state is significant for optimizing human-machine trust and promoting the safe and efficient application of intelligent driving.

In yielding scenarios, the actual collision risk is very low, but unsuitable yielding behaviour may impair pedestrians' perceived safety and comfort. Therefore, we investigated how AVs' deceleration timing and stop distance affected pedestrians' perceived safety and comfort during road crossings in two experiments. Experiment 1 (projection simulation; <em>N</em> = 45) manipulated the AV's approach speed (30–60 km/h) and the brake onset “time to arrival” (brake-onset TTA: 1.0–4.0 s in 0.5 s increments), with the vehicle always stopping 3.5 m from the pedestrian. The results showed that pedestrians reported higher perceived safety and comfort at earlier braking. Regardless of speed, pedestrians needed at least 2.0 s onset time for perceived safety and 2.5 s for comfort. Experiment 2 (Virtual Reality; <em>N</em> = 88) introduced final stop distance (far, near) as an extra factor (0.17–6.83 m). The findings revealed that stop distance moderated pedestrians' perceived safety and comfort for deceleration timing. When the vehicle stopped farther away (5.17–6.83 m), pedestrians generally felt safer and relied less on the specific timing of deceleration. In contrast, when the vehicle stopped closer to the pedestrian (0.17–1.83 m), at least 2.5 s brake-onset TTA was needed for perceived safety and 3.0 s for comfort. Based on these findings, we formulate an adaptive deceleration protocol for AVs specifying context-dependent brake timing thresholds that decrease as stop distance increases.

By applying a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) model, the study examines how various demographic, behavioural, and contextual variables, including safety perceptions, cultural norms, and travel habits, contribute to psychological empowerment. The research highlights those socio-cultural constraints, such as cultural norms and gendered social expectations, serve as significant predictors of psychological empowerment, alongside mobility behaviors like trip frequency and mode of transport. Descriptive analysis reveals that a substantial proportion of women (74%) are infrequent users of the MRT, with many reporting cultural restrictions and safety concerns that limit their travel autonomy. However, model-based findings suggest that actual mobility behaviors, such as frequent use and access mode, have a stronger influence on psychological empowerment than perceived safety or risk. These findings diverge from traditional Western models, where empowerment is often linked to perceived security, by illustrating that empowerment in Dhaka is more closely tied to the accessibility and reliability of the MRT system offering new insights into the dynamics of psychological empowerment in a Global South context, providing gender-disaggregated evidence for targeted policy interventions aimed at improving commuter experiences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103634"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147851616","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}
