Tools for investigating roadside safety from several perspectives: An integrated solution

Roadside infrastructure for safer European roads: Road scene analyses of ten accident sites [Wegontwerp voor een veiliger Europa: wegbeeldanalyses van 10 ongevalslocaties]

Purpose: The road scene analyses presented here were conducted within Work-Package 1 of the EU-RISER project. Within this workpackage, Task 1.2 consisted of constructing a detailed-reconstruction-database. For that purpose TNO Automotive collected 10 new accidents and TNO Human Factors added a road-scene analysis to each accident to provide more...

Slingerende vrachtwagens verleden tijd?

LDWA zo heet officieel het systeem dat vrachtwagenchauffeurs waarschuwt wanneer zij de linker- of rechter zijmarkering dreigen te overschrijden. Het ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat is vorig jaar met een uitvoerige proef gestart met deze systemen om te onderzoeken wat de gevolgen kunnen zijn voor de verkeersveiligheid en de...

Behavioral accident avoidance science: understanding response in collision incipient conditions

Road traffic accidents are the single greatest cause of fatality in the workplace and the primary cause of all accidental death in the U.S. to the age of seventy-eight. However, behavioral analysis of response in the final seconds and milliseconds before collision has been a most difficult proposition since the quantitative recording of such...

Staying oriented while driving

Do elderly drivers have more trouble finding their way and staying spatially oriented than younger drivers do? If spatial orientation is more difficult for elderly drivers it could distract attention from vehicle control resulting in a higher accident rate for elderly drivers. Moreover, it could become less desirable for older drivers to explore...
