A driving simulator was used to analyze driving behavior and safety in the one-pedal mode in situations with different urgency level, with the two-pedal mode (the traditional driving mode in internal combustion engine vehicles) serving as a comparative group. The driver’s perception times, initial and final throttle release times, throttle to brake transition times, maximum brake pedal forces, collision ratios, and time-to-collision (TTC) were measured under the lead vehicle decelerating at 0.1 g, 0.2 g, 0.5 g, 0.75 g, as well as uncertainty (decelerating at 0.2 g to 25 km/h, then decelerating at 0.75 g to 0), and under headways of 1.5 s and 2.5 s. Results showed: 1) The regenerative braking system did not affect driver perception and reaction of the lead vehicle braking event and drivers extended throttle release to avoid rapid speed drops when the lead vehicle braked slowly; 2) the one-pedal mode exhibited a longer throttle to brake transition time and increased uncertainty in timing of brake pedal application; 3) the one-pedal mode was safer than the two-pedal mode in low urgency situations but became unsafe in high urgency or uncertain situations due to delayed braking.

To understand the characteristics of driving behaviour in mountain highway tunnels with different tunnel lengths and lateral obstacles, nine tunnels in Chongqing were selected for real-vehicle tests, and data on driving trajectories, speeds and other metrics were collected from 40 drivers. Analyse the driver’s need for lateral safety distance in different scenarios, defines the conditions and scope of the shy away effect, and establishes a multi-scenario “distance-trajectory” offset prediction model to adjust the offset under varying lateral environments by setting different facilities. The results show that drivers exhibit some avoidance behavior towards lateral static obstacles, but the extent of the shy-away effect varies based on tunnel length. By widening the lateral clearance to 0.925 m on the left side and 1.450 m on the right side of the road to meet the driver’s requirements for lateral safety distances, unreasonable avoidance behaviour can be reduced. Combined with the trajectory fluctuation characteristics of drivers in different tunnels, it is proposed to set up the traffic safety facilities in a manner more aligned with driver behavioral habits, with a place set up 110 m before the entrance of the short tunnel, two places set up in the medium tunnel at <em>L</em>/2 − 200 m, <em>L</em>/2 + 100 m (where <em>L</em> is the length of the tunnel), and three places for long tunnels at <em>L</em>/2 − 400 m, <em>L</em>/2 m, and <em>L</em>/2 + 300 m. For extra-long tunnels, facilities are to be set up in cycles of 500 m, 1000 m, and 1500 m intervals.

Nevertheless, traffic conflicts on traffic routes remain a significant issue, since most FCW algorithms cannot accurately determine the distance between the host vehicle (HV) and remote vehicle (RV) on curved roads. Hence, this study proposes a vector-based FCW (V-FCW) algorithm to address the issue of false warnings on unconventional road sections. The V-FCW algorithm employs vector relationships to estimate the poses of HV and RV at the current and next moments, thereby effectively calculating the relative angles. Firstly, the HV and RV transmit their position vector, velocity vector, and heading angle in real time via the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technique. Subsequently, the localization of lanes is conducted through the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication technique, with the assistance of roadside unit (RSU)-based local maps. Finally, a V-FCW algorithm was implemented on the Simcenter Prescan simulation platform and a cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X, i.e., the combination of V2V and V2I) communication platform. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed V-FCW algorithm can accurately identify and warn dangerous vehicles on both straight and curved roads. Moreover, the experimental results obtained from the hardware-in-the-loop approach illustrate the efficacy of the proposed V-FCW algorithm in accurately forecasting four warning levels on both straight and curved roads. Consequently, this study yields a significant contribution to the field of vehicle-road cooperation in C-V2X-enable intelligent driving.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":6926,"journal":{"name":"Accident; analysis and prevention","volume":"210 ","pages":"Article 107836"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142685736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aims to detect, cluster, and analyze rare and critical traffic scenarios based on real-world traffic data from an urban intersection and prepare the data for usage in simulation environments. The scenarios are detected by filtering hard braking maneuvers, red light violations, and near misses under adverse weather conditions. A long-term analysis of trajectory, weather, and traffic light data was conducted to find these rare scenarios. Our results show that 24 hard braking maneuvers are included in our dataset with a duration of half a year. They occur due to failure to yield, emergency vehicle operations, and a red light violation. Some of the scenarios include crashes, lateral evasive maneuvers, or are under adverse weather conditions like fog. Altogether, we provide methods to extract corner case scenarios based on multiple data sources and reveal diverse types of corner case scenarios at an urban intersection. In addition, we analyze the behavior of road users in critical scenarios and show influencing factors to avoid crashes. By combining and converting the data to an industry standard for simulation we provide realistic test cases for the validation of automated vehicles.

Owing to the lack of exposure data, the detection of DLT event and the mechanism behind the risky riding behavior have yet to be discovered. To bridge these gaps, this study proposes a DLT detection framework based on bike sharing trajectories. Moreover, this study seeks to understand the contributing factors to DLT behavior using the random parameters logit model with heterogeneity in means and variances (RPLHMV) to account for unobserved heterogeneity in the DLT cases dataset. Statistical analysis shows that DLT is most likely to occur on weekdays during peak periods under large commuting demand. As to what caused the DLT violations, law-obeying cyclists are more susceptible to external events, while risk-taking cyclists are subtly undermined by their habits. In addition, the model of RPLHMV reveals several significant contributing factors to the propensity of DLT violations, such as event time, available passing time for left-turning bicycles, and average cycling speed, whereas the indicator variables of actual waiting time, available passing space for left-turning bicycles, and preference for DLT violation become the emerging influential variables.

Nonetheless, the absence of specific guidelines for the placement of guide signs in dense interchange sections of the eight-lane freeway results in inadequate design, thereby impeding drivers’ ability to read and comprehend the signs. To tackle this issue, the study employs two interchanges 2.48 km apart on the Jinan-Qingdao Freeway as a case study. Four optimization schemes for guide signs are developed based on drivers’ information requirements and compared with the current guide sign design scheme. Thirty-nine drivers were recruited to gather detailed driving behavior indicators via a driving simulation experiment. The impact of the guide sign optimization scheme on driving behavior is analyzed, and the overall effects are evaluated using the non-integer rank RSR method. This study aims to identify an optimal approach to guide sign design for dense interchange sections.</div><div>The results indicate that the impact of guide signs in dense interchange sections on drivers is primarily concentrated between the two interchanges. Specifically, the addition of a 2.5 km exit advance sign enhances drivers’ speed regulation level, the inclusion of navigation voice improves operational stability, and the presence of pavement words at exit diversion locations enhances psychological comfort for drivers. By considering the comprehensive effectiveness of each optimization scheme, it is evident that schemes 5 and 2 exhibit superior optimization effects. This suggests that providing advanced notice of exit information in dense interchange sections of eight-lane freeways is an effective measure to enhance freeway service levels and ensure driving safety. It is recommended that under the conditions of insufficient interchange spacing, the information of interchange exits should be forewarned in advance. Additionally, auxiliary navigation voice and pavement words should be employed to enhance drivers’ information perception levels, thereby mitigating the risk of missing exits due to limited reaction time.
