This study investigated the situation awareness (SA) scores of two types of drivers using different signs in the freeway exit areas and the correlation between drivers’ eye movement, driving behavior, and SA scores. The driving tasks were divided into two situations: continuing on the mainline and entering the exit ramp. The independent variables included scene type (static speed limit signs, static speed limit signs plus variable message signs, variable speed limit signs, variable speed limit signs plus variable message signs), and participant type (experienced and inexperienced participants). The dependent variables were SA, eye movement, and driving behavior. Each participant completed a driving simulation experiment with the two driving tasks, totaling eight scenes. The SA scores were measured using the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT). The driving behavior and eye movement were collected during the experimental data analysis segment, and the sensitivity indicators for evaluating drivers’ SA were determined by calculating the correlation with the SAGAT scores. This paper focuses on applying variable message signs (VMS) to speed limits in freeway exit areas from the driver’s perspective to enhance driving safety. The findings showed that drivers have better SA in scenes with VMS, and experienced drivers have better SA than inexperienced drivers in the same scene. The VMS affects speed control, and eye movement is a sensitive SA indicator.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141950691","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 paper deals with the results of a survey of pedestrians regarding their risky behaviour while walking, namely, violation of crossing rules and distraction by using a smartphone or listening to music through headphones. It was found that risky behaviour depends on the age of pedestrians, and listening to music through headphones also depends on the person’s gender. It was established that respondents’ assessment of the safety of transport modes does not correlate with data on mortality in road traffic accidents using different types of transport. It is proposed that social responsibility of pedestrians can be increased by analyzing the causes and events that lead to traffic accidents during the study of safety disciplines in higher education institutions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141952668","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}

In this situation, the increased cognitive load on the driver can lead to distraction, which in turn reduces situational awareness (SA) and prevents appropriate responses, increasing the risk of accidents. For this reason, providing interfaces that enhance SA is essential to ensuring safety and optimal performance. However, existing SA-based display research often overlooks the levels of SA and effectiveness of modalities, especially in urgent situations where a driver’s SA might be compromised. The present study aims to design SA-based display that considers the urgency of the situation and the level of SA in line with a specific design framework and modality effectiveness. We conducted an experiment using simulated videos to evaluate the effectiveness of the SA-based display. This experiment assessed the effects of three urgent situations and three levels of situational awareness-based displays on drivers’ SA, situational trust, mental workload, and perceived urgency. We employed a 3x4 mixed-factorial design for the experiment. The between-subject factors were the SA levels (perception, comprehension, and projection) and a baseline. The within-subject factors were urgency scenarios (low, medium, and high). The results showed that as urgency increased, displays reflecting Level 3 SA, which requires prediction, significantly improved SA compared to other displays. We expect our findings to contribute to the practical design of automotive displays by providing useful considerations for SA-based display design.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141954684","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}

Enforcement measures are essential but shown to be limited in reach and effectiveness. As such, it is critical to examine root causes of engagement in non-compliance to develop effective countermeasures. Self-regulation is an under-researched construct recently found to be important in reduced engagement in unintentional and deliberate risky driving behaviours. This study explored factors that are associated with regulatory processes for mobile phone use while driving and speeding, guided by self-determination theory. Licensed drivers aged 17 years and over (<em>n</em> = 1,146) were recruited to participate in an online survey. Hierarchical multiple linear regressions were conducted finding internal (self) and external regulation accounted for 28 % of the variance in mobile phone use while driving and 39 % of the variance in speeding. Across the behaviours, internal regulation was found to be similarly influenced by legitimacy, risk perception and repeated engagement in the behaviours, with greater perceived legitimacy of enforcement, a higher risk perception and less engagement in non-compliance predicting greater internal regulation. Females, who comprised 53 % of participants, and older participants (age range 17–82 years) reported greater capacity for internal regulation across the behaviours, and fewer hours spent driving was predictive of internal regulation. Greater external regulation was predicted by higher perceived certainty of apprehension for both behaviours, and a lack of regulation was predicted by habitual behaviours for mobile phone use while driving. While there were similarities between the regulation of speeding and mobile phone use while driving, nuances were recognised that are important for targeted interventions and identifying effective components of countermeasures. The findings are anticipated to enhance current systems of enforcement to have a greater impact on reducing engagement in risky behaviours and consequential road trauma with countermeasures informed by self-determination theory.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1369847824001906/pdfft?md5=a48ddb7d7d591baf9f15224e4464fe36&pid=1-s2.0-S1369847824001906-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141954683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A random parameter ordered probit model was adopted to analyze people’s initial opinions before the CAV ride, which resolves the fixed parameter estimations limitation of the traditional ordered probit model. Furthermore, a hierarchical ordered probit model was used to study people’s opinion changes after experiencing the CAV ride, overcoming the fixed thresholds limitation of the traditional ordered probit model. Based on the estimation results, we identified the characteristics of prospective CAV users, such as individuals who drive alone, have Auto Pilot ride experience, have high income, have a long commute time, and have high education levels. Therefore, the needs of these demographics should be well considered in future CAV technology development. We also found that high-education individuals tend to have more negative initial opinions regarding CAV safety compared with others. However, their opinions are more likely to shift toward the positive side after experiencing a successful test ride.

Driver monitoring systems (DMS), which will soon be a required feature in all new vehicles, will be responsible for assessing the driver’s mental state in real-time. This will help to maximise the safety and social benefits of ADS. However, little is known about drivers’ perceptions of DMS. This qualitative focus group study used a reflexive thematic analysis approach to understand drivers’ perspectives on the use of DMS during automated driving. Seventeen drivers with no prior experience of ADS or DMS were interviewed across three focus group sessions and were shown a video outlining some of the capabilities of both systems. A semi-structured interview guide was used to gather qualitative data concerning drivers’ perceptions of the prospect of driver monitoring within automated driving and the expectations that they have. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to develop five themes. The findings show that drivers have more favourable attitudes towards DMS than ADS, due to an expectation that the latter will require a greater sacrifice of the driver’s control. Nonetheless, participants were sceptical of the reliability, security and privacy of driver monitoring, and expressed that it could detract from the enjoyment derived from driving. Participants were also concerned regarding the potential for driver data to be sold to third parties and used against them in various ways. Overall, drivers are sceptical of the value of driver monitoring and ADS and perceive them as separate entities as opposed to two systems working in partnership.

In terms of lesion location, 59 % (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 22) had suffered a left-hemisphere injury, 35 % (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 13) a right-hemisphere injury, and 5 % (&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; = 2) a bilateral injury. Hemineglect patients were excluded. Participants were shown naturalistic driving video clips which had been recorded from the driver’s point of view. These were filmed both in the participants’ familiar home country (Spain) and also in an unfamiliar country (England). The hazard prediction test showed a number of hazardous situations which were caused by another road user (e.g. an oncoming car invading the lane). Each video clip ended as the hazard began to unfold, and participants had to choose the correct response to identify the hazard, where it occurred, and the likely outcome in that particular traffic situation (situation awareness). In the risky decision-making test, participants were shown video clips whereby the hazards were possibly caused by risky driving behaviour (e.g. driving through a junction with an amber traffic light). The participants were also shown video clips which set up the potential for risky behaviour and they were asked how likely they were to proceed with that risky manoeuvre (e.g. to overtake a cyclist or drive through a junction with an amber traffic light) on a 6-point Likert scale. In the hazard prediction test, a statistically significant group effect was found, with healthy drivers attaining greater accuracy compared to drivers who had suffered a stroke. More specifically, drivers with left-sided strokes had lower hazard prediction accuracy (&lt;em&gt;M&lt;/em&gt; = 59.1 %, &lt;em&gt;SD&lt;/em&gt; = 16.7) than drivers with right-sided strokes (&lt;em&gt;M&lt;/em&gt; = 64.6 %, &lt;em&gt;SD&lt;/em&gt; = 11.8) and healthy drivers, who had the highest accuracy percentage (&lt;em&gt;M&lt;/em&gt; = 68.6 %, &lt;em&gt;SD&lt;/em&gt; = 13.1). Moreover, a significant effect was found regarding familiarity, and driver accuracy in the hazard perception test was found to be greater in the video clips filmed in Spain than those filmed in England. However, the interaction between these factors was not significant.
