We investigated the role of initial trust in AVs on CV drivers’ behaviors toward AVs. Ninety-five participants were confronted with trust-promoting or trust-lowering video clips of AVs driving. Individual driving behaviors were then assessed using a modified version of the Driving Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) that distinguishes between lapses, errors, and ordinary and emotional violations. We also collected respondents’ self-reported driving styles with the Multidimensional Driving Style Inventory (MDSI). The results showed that the trust-promoted group reported more deliberate ordinary and emotional violations than the trust-lowered group. These ordinary violations, due to their potential link to road accidents, highlight the importance of fostering realistic expectations about AVs. The emotional violations were not initially anticipated but were attributed to the unfamiliar and potentially frustrating behaviors exhibited by AVs.

The first type consists of social consumers who exhibit high levels of social innovativeness and prioritize ability to learn, humanlike interaction, and personality. The second type consists of hedonist consumers, who are primarily concerned with the experiential and emotional benefits of products and demonstrate a preference for products with high cooperation ability and reactivity. The third type consists of general consumers, who do not exhibit a significant inclination toward either social or hedonist innovativeness but still demonstrate clear preferences across all five dimensions of product intelligence.

In line with previous studies on adults, experiential attitudes were found to be important predictors of physical activity intentions. These attitudes had an especially strong impact on walking and cycling intentions, whereas exercise intentions were largely controlled by subjective norms. In the prediction of behaviour, perceived behavioural control accounted for most of the variance in exercising, whereas intentions explained most of the variance in walking and cycling.

In this study, we compare non-professional drivers (represented by passenger car drivers) and professional drivers (truck and taxi drivers).

Interaction events were extracted from a trajectory dataset, and cyclists’ non-kinematic cues were extracted from videos and incorporated into the interaction events’ data.

With increasing pedestrian-related intersection accidents, it is imperative to investigate pedestrian behavior particularly under flashing green countdown signals. This experiment was conducted at a real-world signal-controlled intersection in Changsha City, China, where 30 university students (aged 20–28, with a balanced gender distribution) wore eye-tracking glasses and motion sensor while crossing the street. This study investigated the mechanism through which pedestrian countdown signals (PCS) affect pedestrian crossing behavior and visual attention under mobile phone distraction and time constraint, while exploring the differences in pedestrian behavior before and after the flashing green countdown signals. The results reveal that flashing green countdown signals prompted pedestrians to redirect their visual attention toward the PCS, enhancing the efficiency of visual information processing while significantly facilitating faster crossings. However, mobile phone distraction weakened these positive effects of PCS, reducing the likelihood of shifting visual attention toward the PCS and decreasing the relative speed change rate by 55%, while also increasing the rate of green phase crossing incompletion. Besides, this study indicates that pedestrians had a significantly reduced level of attention to the PCS under crossing time constraints, whereas attention to the zebra crossing area increased. Flashing green countdown signals had a stronger impact on pedestrians’ speed characteristics under limited crossing time, with crossing speed variation being 2.71 times more pronounced after PCS green light flashing, while the probability of visual attention shifts to the PCS decreased. These findings are significant for understanding the mechanisms by which the flashing green signal affects pedestrians and may provide a scientific basis for future intersection management policies and intelligent transportation infrastructure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"112 ","pages":"Pages 28-47"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759475","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 results showed that the function of gaze varies based on roles in collision avoidance. First, we observed that the leader, who passes through the collision point first, gazes toward their partner to demand coordination behavior, while the follower, who passes through the collision point later, gazes at their partner to prompt coordination behavior and adjust their own behavior. Second, our results showed that only the follower's gaze improves the ratings of understanding and conveying the partner's intentions.

However, it is rare for the interferences between driver safety perception and driving behaviour to be considered, not to mention the discrepancies between perceived and actual crash risk. In this study, the influences of driver demographics, travel habits, road environment, and traffic conditions, in addition to driver safety perception, on driving behaviour are examined using a hybrid driving simulator and attitudinal survey approach. Discrepancies between safety perception and driving performance metrics, including timely response, potential crash, maximum deceleration, and maximum lateral displacement in two hazard scenarios, are evaluated. Furthermore, the effects of individual heterogeneity on these associations are accounted using a random parameters approach. The results indicate that there are significant differences between driver safety perception and actual driving behaviour in adverse weather conditions. Additionally, factors such as driver demographics, travel habits, traffic volume, penetration rate of heavy vehicles, and speed limits all affect driving performance. Nevertheless, individual heterogeneity in the effects of driver characteristics, traffic conditions, and traffic control is significant.
