Spek, A.C.E. (author), Wieringa, P.A. (author), Janssen, W.H. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)A statistical model is derived for gap acceptance at intersections, taking into account limitations of human perception. The model assumes the logarithm of the odds for acceptance of a gap as a linear function of the logarithms of gap time and the speed of the vehicle closing the gap. Fitting is performed against gap acceptance decisions as...article 2006

Martens, M.H. (author), Rook, A.M. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)This paper illustrates simple techniques to approach traffic safety issues and traffic accidents. By means of birds-eye view video registration, a detailed and accurate overview can be gathered of the type, number and causation of conflicts and accidents that occur. This allows a good assessment of the pre-crash phase and provides more data than...conference paper 2005

van der Horst, A.R.A. (author), TNO Technische Menskunde (author)A process-oriented approach by systematically studying driver performance, distraction, and workload is the way to go for assessing safety effects of new telematics applications in vehicles. These systems may strive for drivers' attention and possibly lead to distraction from the primary task. Visual occlusion techniques appear to be an...article 2004
