Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)The potential of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to enhance road safety and driver comfort is significant. However, its realization can be compromised by driver misuse. This paper discusses the misuse of ADAS, defined as the suboptimal, inappropriate, or incorrect utilization of these systems. Such misuse not only diminishes their...conference paper 2024

Truelove, Verity (author), Nicolls, Michelle (author), Stefanidis, Kayla B. (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Introduction: One of the primary countermeasures in place to prevent road rule violations is legal enforcement, yet there are numerous applications that can undermine such efforts by notifying drivers of enforcement locations. However, the capabilities of these applications and how they can impact offending behavior is currently unknown. Method:...journal article 2023

Hasan, Razi (author), Watson, Barry (author), Haworth, Narelle (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Drug driving is recognised as a major road safety problem in many countries. In Australia, the primary response to this problem involved the adoption of roadside drug testing (RDT), which was modelled on the policies and practices used to conduct random breath testing (RBT) for alcohol. However, there remain important differences in the way that...journal article 2023

Bazilinskyy, P. (author), Merino Martinez, R. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Dodou, D. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Exterior vehicle sounds have been introduced in electric vehicles and as external human–machine interfaces for automated vehicles. While previous research has studied the effect of exterior vehicle sounds on detectability and acceptance, the present study takes on a different approach by examining the efficacy of such sounds in deterring...journal article 2023

Quy Nguyen-Phuoc, Duy (author), Ngoc Thi Nguyen, Ly (author), Ngoc Su, Diep (author), Nguyen Hoang Minh, M. (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Food delivery riders are overrepresented in road crashes. Arguably, the increased risk experienced by food delivery riders is linked to the working conditions offered by the “gig economy”. Research is needed to fully understand the safety-related issues this vulnerable group of road users face daily and identify opportunities for counter...journal article 2023

Tselentis, D. (author), Papadimitriou, E. (author)This study reviews the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning approaches developed thus far for driver profile and driving pattern recognition, representing a set of macroscopic and microscopic behaviors respectively, to enhance the understanding of human factors in road safety, and therefore reduce the number of crashes. It provides a...journal article 2023

Truelove, Verity (author), Watson-Brown, Natalie (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Objectives: Various legal countermeasures have been introduced in numerous jurisdictions worldwide to reduce the risky behaviour of phone use while driving. However, external factors do not influence behaviour alone; internal factors may also play a large role in influencing behaviour. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the impact...journal article 2023

Anna, V. A.Bharat Kumar (author), Mr. Bisht, L.S.B. (author), Chand, Sai (author)A road network aims to facilitate the movement of commuters and goods in a safe, economical, and efficient way that contributes to growth in the economy. Road traffic incidents (RTIs), such as crashes, vehicle breakdowns, hazards, etc., are unexpected events that cause severe traffic congestion, unreliability, and pollution. The existing open...journal article 2023

Marques Ortega, Carmen (author)Future introduction on automated vehicles (levels 3, 4, and 5) in urban traffic comes with several societal benefits, but also challenges. One of the biggest challenges that the research community expects from this introduction is the possible problems or critical situations caused by the lack of interpersonal communication between drivers and...master thesis 2022

Papadimitriou, E. (author), Afghari, A.P. (author), Tselentis, D. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Road safety research is largely focused on prediction and prevention of technical, human or organisational failures that may result in critical conflicts or crashes. Indicators of traffic risk aim to capture the passage to unsafe states. However, research in other industries has shown that it is meaningful to analyse safety along the whole...journal article 2022

Nurunnabi, A. (author), Teferle, F. N. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Li, J. (author), Zlatanova, S. (author)Road surface extraction is crucial for 3D city analysis. Mobile laser scanning (MLS) is the most appropriate data acquisition system for the road environment because of its efficient vehicle-based on-road scanning opportunity. Many methods are available for road pavement, curb and roadside way extraction. Most of them use classical approaches...journal article 2022
