Ladino, Andres (author), Wang, M. (author)Lane change maneuvers are main causes of traffic turbulence at highway bottlenecks. We propose a dynamic game framework to derive the system optimum strategy for a network of cooperative vehicles interacting at a merging bottleneck. Cooperative vehicles on the highway mainline seek for optimal strategies (i.e., whether and when to perform...book chapter 2021

Farah, H. (author), Shani, M. (author)Road crashes are considered as one of the main threats to human life around the world. Children pedestrians are most at risk to be seriously injured in road crashes, in particular, those from economically disadvantaged communities. Various factors contribute to their high involvement in road crashes. Some of these factors are related to the...conference paper 2015

Farah, H. (author), Azevedo, C.L. (author)The increased availability of detailed trajectory data sets from naturalistic, observational and simulation-based studies are a key source for potential improvements in the development of detailed safety models that explicitly account for vehicle conflict interactions and the various driving maneuvers. Despite the well-recognized research...conference paper 2015

De Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author)Shared control (also known as continuous haptic guidance or haptically active controls) has recently been introduced in car driving. With shared control, the driver receives continuous force feedback on the gas pedal or steering wheel, so that human and machine conduct the driving task simultaneously. Experiments in driving simulators have shown...conference paper 2011

Bazilinskyy, P. (author), van Haarlem, W. (author), Quraishi, H. (author), Berssenbrugge, C. (author), Binda, J. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Auditory displays are promising for informing operators about hazards or objects in the environment. However, it remains to be investigated how to map distance information to a sound dimension. In this research, three sonification approaches were tested: Beep Repetition Rate (BRR) in which beep time and inter-beep time were a linear function...conference paper 2016

Bazilinskyy, P. (author), Beaumont, Charles (author), van der Geest, Xander (author), de Jonge, Reinier (author), van der Kroft, Koen (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)The aim of this work was to develop and empirically test different algorithms of a lane-keeping assistance system that supports drivers by means of a tone when the car is about to deviate from its lane. These auditory assistance systems were tested in a driving simulator with its screens shut down, so that the participants used auditory...conference paper 2017

Rodríguez Palmeiro, A. (author), van der Kint, Sander (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)In the future, cyclists will be sharing the roads with automated and traditional vehicles [1]. Interactions between cyclists and automated vehicles (AVs) may differ from interactions with traditional vehicles, because cyclists may hold incorrect expectations about how AVs will react to their presence, leading to confusing and risky situations....conference paper 2018

Wegman, F. (author), Berg, H.Y. (author), Cameron, I. (author), Thompson, C. (author), Siegrist, S. (author), Weijermans, W. (author)Over the past decades, road safety in highly-motorised countries has made significant progress. Although we have a fair understanding of the reasons for this progress, we don't have conclusive evidence for this. A new generation of road safety management approaches has entered road safety, starting when countries decided to guide themselves by...journal article 2015

Schepers, P. (author), Hagenzieker, M.P. (author), Methorst, R. (author), Van Wee, G.P. (author), Wegman, F.C.M. (author)Scientific literature lacks a model which combines exposure to risk, risk, and the relationship between them. This paper presents a conceptual road safety framework comprising mutually interacting factors for exposure to risk resulting from travel behaviour (volumes, modal split, and distribution of traffic over time and space) and for risk ...journal article 2013

Schepers, P. (author), Heinen, E. (author), Methorst, R. (author), Wegman, F.C.M. (author)Bicycle-motor vehicle crashes are concentrated along distributor roads where cyclists are exposed to greater volumes of high-speed motorists than they would experience on access roads. This study examined the road safety impact of network-level separation of vehicular and cycle traffic in Dutch urban networks, a strategy for which the term ...journal article 2013

Hoekstra, T. (author), Wegman, F.C.M. (author)The evaluation of campaigns aimed at improving road safety is still the exception rather than the rule. Because of this, ineffective campaigns and campaign techniques are allowed to continue to be utilised without question, while new methods of behaviour modification are often ignored. Therefore, the necessity and advantages of formally...journal article 2011

(author)Introduction Still too many deaths and injuries are a result of road safety limitations within Europe. Road safety measures aimed to change the road environment to reduce the risks on driver errors and to reduce the seriousness of the effects of driver errors are expected to increase road safety. A suitable combination of new technologies with...journal article 2012

However, evidence regarding their safety benefits has not been systematically investigated and documented. In this study, we utilise a scoping review approach to investigate and synthesise the existing literature on higher...journal article 2021

First developed in 1996, the turbo roundabout has an advantage over the conventional roundabout regarding capacity and safety. Turbo roundabouts are still in the developing phase in North America, but even in the...journal article 2021

(author)Driving is a safety-critical task that predominantly relies on vision. However, visual information from the environment is sometimes degraded or absent. In other cases, visual information is available, but the driver fails to use it due to distraction or impairment. Providing drivers with real-time auditory feedback about the state of the...journal article 2016

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
