Enhancing driver car-following performance with a distance and acceleration display

A car-following assisting system named the rear window notification display (RWND) was developed, with the aim of improving a driver's manual car-following performance. The RWND presented lead-car acceleration and time headway (THW) (i.e., intervehicle distance divided by the speed of the following car) on the rear window of a lead car, which...

Five-point Likert items: t test versus Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon

Likert questionnaires are widely used in survey research, but it is unclear whether the item data should be investigated by means of parametric or nonparametric procedures. This study compared the Type I and II error rates of the t test versus the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon (MWW) for five-point Likert items. Fourteen population distributions were...

Modeling 3D Sedimentary Architecture of Glacio-Fluvial Valley Fills: Report Concerning Scientific Communication of MSc Thesis Results. For the Benefit of the Stichting Molengraaff Fonds.

The depositional architecture of valley fill systems is controlled by interaction of boundary conditions: ice cap and drainage area changes influence initial topography and river water and sediment discharge and thus control the sediment supply, whereas sea-level fluctuation and isostatic rebound control the accommodation rate. Glacial and...
