Razmi Rad, S. (author), Farah, H. (author), Taale, Henk (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Dedicated Lanes (DLs) have been proposed as a potential alternative for the deployment of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) to facilitate platooning and increase motorway capacity. However, the impact of the presence and utilization policy of such a lane on drivers’ preference to use automation and their behaviour has not yet been...journal article 2024

Sevenster, A.L.A. (author), Farah, H. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author)Overtaking on two-lane roads can lead to increased collision risks due to drivers' errors in evaluating whether or not to accept the gap to the vehicle in the opposite lane. Understanding these gap acceptance decisions can help mitigate the risks associated with overtaking. Previous research on overtaking has focused on the factors...journal article 2023

Oskina, M.I. (author), Farah, H. (author), Morsink, Peter (author), Happee, R. (author), van Arem, B. (author)The operation of automated vehicles (AVs) on shared roads requires attention concerning their interactions with vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as cyclists. This study investigates the safety of cyclists when they interact with an AV and compares it with their interaction with a conventional vehicle. Overall, 29 cyclists participated in a...journal article 2023

Wang, Y. (author), Farah, H. (author), Yu, Rongjie (author), Qiu, Shuhan (author), van Arem, B. (author)Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are being introduced to the traffic system with the promise of improving current traffic status. However, the empirical data also indicate contrary effects with estimated higher crash rate and change of crash patterns. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the driving behavior of AVs and human-driven vehicles ...journal article 2023

Vos, J. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Farah, H. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author)Although much research is done on speed and gaze behaviour inside curves, there is little understanding of which cues drivers use to anticipate and slow down while approaching curves. Therefore, an on road experiment was conducted in which 31 participants drove through six freeway curves in their own car. During the experiment, look-ahead...journal article 2023

Afghari, A.P. (author), Vos, J. (author), Farah, H. (author), Papadimitriou, E. (author)Driver anticipation plays a crucial role in crashes along horizontal curves. Anticipation is related to road predictability and can be influenced by roadway geometric design. Therefore, it is essential to understand which geometric design elements can influence anticipation and cause the road to be (un)predictable. This exercise, however, is not...journal article 2023

(author)Automated vehicles (AVs) aim to dramatically improve traffic safety by reducing or eliminating human error, which remains the leading cause of road crashes. However, commonly accepted standards for the ‘safe driving behaviour of machines’ are pending and urgently needed. Unless a common understanding of safety as a design value is achieved,...journal article 2022

Vos, J. (author), Farah, H. (author)Road designers need to have insights where deceleration and acceleration are expected related to the position of the curve, and in in which amount so that drivers are able to safely decelerate and accelerate respectively into and out of a freeway curve. For this, empirical speed data is needed. Therefore, Floating Car Data in 153 curves in...journal article 2022

Wang, Y. (author), Yu, Rongjie (author), Qiu, Shuhan (author), SUN, J. (author), Farah, H. (author)Highly automated vehicles (HAVs) have been introduced to the transportation system for the purpose of providing safer mobility. Considering the expected long co-existence period of HAVs and human-driven vehicles (HDVs), the safety operation of HAVs interacting with HDVs needs to be verified. To achieve this, HAVs' Operational Design Domain ...journal article 2022

Berge, S.H. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), Farah, H. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Cyclists are expected to interact with automated vehicles (AVs) in future traffic, yet we know little about the nature of this interaction and the safety implications of AVs on cyclists. On-bike human–machine interfaces (HMIs) and connecting cyclists to AVs and the road infrastructure may have the potential to enhance the safety of cyclists....journal article 2022

Reddy, N. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Farah, H. (author)Future traffic will be composed of both human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and automated vehicles (AVs). To accurately predict the performance of mixed traffic, an important aspect is describing HDV behavior when interacting with AVs. A few exploratory studies show that HDVs change their behavior when interacting with AVs, being influenced by...journal article 2022

Dong, Y. (author), Patil, Sandeep (author), van Arem, B. (author), Farah, H.

However, under certain challenging circumstances, it is difficult to get satisfactory performance in accurately detecting the lanes from one single image as mostly done in current literature. Since lane...journal article 2022

Soni, Shubham (author), Reddy, N. (author), Tsapi, Anastasia (author), van Arem, B. (author), Farah, H. (author)Advancements in technology are bringing automated vehicles (AVs) closer to wider deployment. However, in the early phases of their deployment, AVs will coexist and frequently interact with human-driven vehicles (HDVs). These interactions might lead to changes in the driving behavior of HDVs. A field test was conducted in the Netherlands with...journal article 2022

Schoenmakers, Mathijs (author), Yang, Dujuan (author), Farah, H. (author)Automated vehicles (AVs) are expected to improve traffic flow efficiency and safety. The deployment of AVs on motorways is expected to be the first step in their implementation. One of the main concerns is how human drivers will interact with AVs. Dedicating specific lanes to AVs have been suggested as a possible solution. However, there is...journal article 2021

Vos, J. (author), Farah, H.
