Investigating the attitudes of Egyptian drivers toward traffic safety

One of the main pillars for improving road safety in any country is a good understanding of traffic safety culture and the driving behavior of local drivers. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether Egyptian drivers differ in traffic safety attitudes and level of acceptance of risky driving behavior. A questionnaire survey was conducted on the driving cognition of the participants. An exploratory factor analysis was used to assess the number of factors that differentiated the three types of drivers. Then a hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to group the drivers with similar patterns of scores on the factors into clusters. Three driver clusters emerged: The drivers in cluster 1 were “drivers who rigidly followed regulations” (51.7%). The drivers in cluster 2 were “drivers who violated safety precautions” (23.3%). The drivers in cluster 3 were “drivers who had a tendency to violate regulations” (25.0%). A similarity between the social norms and personal attitudes of drivers was found. This can be explained by the high social norm of violating traffic laws, which can lead to more drivers accepting violations. The majority of the older drivers and drivers with no violations or traffic accident on their record in the past 2 years were in cluster 1. Cluster 2 had the highest proportion of young drivers who wore their seat belts and used hands-free phones while driving. Cluster 3 drivers accepted very dangerous violations, such as texting while driving, driving while intoxicated, and driving at very high speeds. They reported significantly more traffic accidents, but no more violations than the other two clusters. The results of this study can be used to improve road safety programs for education and enforcement in Egypt.     

隧道驾驶疲劳唤醒段设置长度研究

为解决驾驶员在隧道中间段因驾驶疲劳带来的行车安全问题，对隧道驾驶疲劳唤醒段设置长度进行研究。首先，建立疲劳唤醒段的刺激量与其产生疲劳唤醒后对驾驶员的唤醒程度以及唤醒维持时间的相互关系； 然后，进行蓝、紫、青3种色彩，3种亮度及5种刺激持续时间共45种不同刺激量组合下疲劳唤醒段的静态唤醒试验，研究隧道疲劳唤醒段不同刺激量对被试驾驶员唤醒程度的影响规律，建立刺激量与唤醒程度的相关关系模型，得到疲劳唤醒段刺激量应不低于8.84 cd·s/m2； 最后，分析不同刺激量的疲劳唤醒段对驾驶员唤醒的维持时间，建立不同运行速度条件下疲劳唤醒段刺激量与唤醒维持时间的相关关系模型，根据不同运行速度下隧道疲劳唤醒段侧壁可设置的最高亮度，得到不同运行速度下隧道疲劳唤醒段应设置的长度。当设计速度为60、80、100 km/h时，第x（x∈［1, N-1］）处疲劳唤醒段的设置长度分别为160、200、220 m，第N处疲劳唤醒段的设置长度应保证剩余路段驾驶员的正常驾驶，且不低于65、80、90 m。     

Single wheel hub motor failures and their impact on vehicle and driver behaviour

This research work studies the impact of single wheel hub motor failures on the dynamic behaviour of electric vehicles and the corresponding driver reactions. An experimental study in a moving-base driving simulator is conducted to analyse the influence of single wheel hub motor failures for motorway speeds. Driver reaction times are derived from the measured data and discussed in their experimental context. The failure is rated objectively on the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle and compared to the subjective evaluation. Findings indicate that critical traffic situations impairing traffic safety can occur for motorway speeds. Clear counteractions by the drivers had to be taken.     

考虑肌电信号的驾驶人弯道操纵行为分析

驾驶人是"人-车-路"闭环系统中的核心。近年来,研发人性化、个性化的汽车驾驶辅助系统逐渐成为行业热点。为了更加透彻地理解弯道驾驶行为特性,为弯道驾驶辅助系统提供功效评估与优化,提出了一种考虑肌电信号的驾驶人弯道行驶过程操纵行为分析方法。招募12名驾驶人在试验场标准路面上进行实车试验,其中包含6名专业试车师与6名普通驾驶人,要求驾驶人分别以30,40,50 km·h^-1的不同初速度驶入U形弯道并自由驾驶。试验过程中记录驾驶人颈部肌电信号数据和车辆运动状态数据,分析转弯行驶车辆侧向运动对不同驾驶能力的驾驶人生理体验的影响,同时进一步探讨不同类型驾驶人在不同入弯速度条件下颈部肌电信号与侧向加速度的关联差异特性。试验结果表明：相同工况下,专业驾驶人和普通驾驶人颈部肌电特征值存在显著差异,专业驾驶人颈部肌电信号特征与车辆侧向加速度呈现一定的线性关系;随着驾驶任务难度的增加,驾驶能力好的驾驶人能够较好地适应任务的变化,在进行纵侧向耦合操纵时能够较好地协调身体生理反应与车辆侧向运动保持较好的关联特性。研究成果为进一步探索并完善驾驶体验评价方法提供了新的研究思路,同时,可为汽车辅助驾驶系统功能设计与智能汽车行驶性能的用户体验测评提供技术支撑。     

An international comparative study on driving attitudes and behaviors based on questionnaire surveys

Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are influenced by a driver's awareness and attitude toward road safety, as well as the socio-economic status, infrastructure development level, traffic status, social system, and traffic safety culture of the area to which the driver belongs. In this study, based on the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in seven countries, the characteristics of each country concerning tolerance for traffic violations, dangerous driving, and acceptance for road safety measures were studied. It was suggested that a high tolerance for traffic violations and dangerous driving might affect traffic violations and RTCs in each country. Additionally, to reduce the tolerance for traffic violations and dangerous driving, the promotion of road safety education, especially among young and male drivers, and stricter regulations and enforcement were suggested.     

汽车驾驶安全隐患预防与对策探索

司机是一个比较特殊的工作,通常在驾驶汽车时,司机要确保整个驾驶过程的安全,这就要求司机要具备较高的驾驶素质。如果驾驶员自身的安全意识不高,对车辆驾驶工作没有太深的安全意识,就会给行车工作带来很大的安全隐患。如果司机对驾驶工作安全性意识较高,则行车就会更加安全,司机也会提高自己的综合素质和驾驶技术来保证车辆行驶的安全,避免在行驶中出现一系列安全隐患。因此,在驾驶汽车时,要重点突出安全隐患的预防,并制定一系列的对策,才可能减少车辆的安全事故产生。

Human-Centered Design of an Acc-With-Braking and Forward-Crash-Warning System

This paper addresses the development of driver assistance systems whose functional purposes are to provide both adaptive cruise control (ACC) and forward collision warning (FCW). The purpose of the paper is to combine concepts from human factors psychology, vehicle-dynamics, and control theory, thereby contributing to the body of knowledge and understanding concerning human-centered approaches for designing and evaluating driver assistance systems. Conceptual and experimental results pertaining to driving manually and with the assistance of ACC and FCW are presented. The following human-centered aspects of driver-assistance systems are analyzed and presented: the looming effect; including rule-based and skill-based behavior in the design of ACC systems; using desired dynamics in controlling the driving process; braking rules that trade headway range for deceleration level; and collision-warning rules based on two different stress indicators. Field-test data are examined to justify and verify the parametric values selected for use in human-centered ACC systems. Measured data from on-road driving are used to evaluate the performance of proposed FCW systems in braking situations. The paper concludes with observations concerning the difficulty of developing a clear understanding of when and why drivers brake.

考虑驾驶人风格的跟车预警规则研究

为研究驾驶人的跟车特性及探究可适用于不同风格驾驶人的跟车预警规则,为自动驾驶车辆开发可满足不同用户驾驶需求和驾乘体验的主动安全预警系统,选取50名被试驾驶人开展实车试验,采集驾驶人跟车行为表征参数并基于雷达数据确定跟车事件提取规则。选取平均跟车时距和平均制动时距为二维向量,使用基于K-means聚类结果的高斯混合模型将驾驶人聚类为3种风格类型(冒进型、平稳型、保守型)。通过分析3组驾驶人的跟车及制动数据,将不同类型驾驶人的制动时距分位数作为跟车预警阈值,结合实际预警数据及不同制动时距分位数对应的预警正确率,对现有跟车预警规则进行调整,以适应不同类型驾驶人的驾驶需求。研究结果表明:3组驾驶人的平均跟车时距和平均制动时距差异显著,冒进型驾驶人倾向于选择较小的跟车时距和制动时距,保守型驾驶人的跟车时距和制动时距则普遍较大;3组驾驶人的实际跟车预警次数为215次,驾驶人采取制动操作而系统未予以预警的次数为329次,系统整体预警正确率为21.9%,漏警率为87.5%,通过分析信息熵等判定当前预警规则并不合理;将每类驾驶人制动时距的10%分位数作为阈值时的预警效果较好,调整后的跟车预警规则能在一定程度上适应不同的驾驶人类型。     

Assessment of the effectiveness of connected vehicle weather and work zone warnings in improving truck driver safety

Improving work zone safety remains a prime challenge for the transportation sector in the United States. In particular, the frequency and severity of work zone crashes involving large trucks in rural freeways are alarming. Lack of compliance with the instructions provided at work zones results in increased crash risk. In-vehicle advanced warning systems enabled by Connected Vehicle (CV) technology have the potential to prompt appropriate driver response, make navigation more predictable, and improve overall work zone safety. This study falls under the umbrella of the WYDOT Connected Vehicle Pilot Program and seeks to investigate the impacts of the Pilot's real-time weather and work zone notifications on the behavior of truck drivers in rural freeway work zone settings under poor visibility. Twenty professional truck drivers participated in this simulator study. The driving scenarios were designed to mimic the driving conditions experienced on Wyoming Interstate 80. Findings suggest that exposure to the CV notifications has promising safety benefits manifested in improved driver behavior and response. Furthermore, both the weather and work zone notifications acquired high approval from the participants in terms of usefulness and ease of understanding. Nonetheless, the display of multiple work zone warnings on the Human Machine Interface may had introduced little to moderate distraction for some participants. Overall, this study brings forth valuable lessons that are being funneled to support informed decision making to enhance the Pilot's existing Human Machine Interface design.     

驾驶风格对驾驶行为的影响

为了揭示驾驶风格对驾驶行为的影响规律,进而提取表征驾驶风格的特征参数,对不同风格驾驶人在感知层和操作层的驾驶行为数据进行了量化分析。首先,基于驾驶行为问卷对18名中国非职业驾驶人进行了驾驶风格问卷调查,并采用主成分分析、K-均值聚类等方法将被试驾驶人分为谨慎型、正常型和激进型3种类型。接着,被试驾驶人在搭载了SmartEye眼动仪的驾驶模拟器上开展了高速公路行车环境下的驾驶试验,同步采集了感知层的视觉特性参数和操作层的驾驶绩效参数,并采用判断抽样的方式将驾驶样本按照驾驶风格和驾驶模式（换道意图和车道保持）进行了划分,共选取了810组有效样本。最后,采用方差分析法分析了不同风格驾驶人在不同驾驶模式下的注视行为、扫视行为、横向控制特性、纵向控制特性方面相关参数的差异显著性,并提取了不同风格间存在显著差异的参数作为表征驾驶风格的特征参数。研究结果表明：驾驶风格越激进,驾驶人对周围环境关注越少,对车辆的横向控制稳定性越差,急加速和急减速行为发生的频次越高;不同风格驾驶人在意图时窗内对后视镜的注视次数（p=0.002）、方向盘转角熵值（p=0.04）、加速踏板开度（p=0.01）、制动踏板开度（p=0.02）这4个参数的差异均较为显著,因此可作为表征驾驶风格的特征参数。     

European advanced driver training programs: Reasons for optimism

Post license advanced driver training programs in the US and early programs in Europe have often failed to accomplish their stated objectives because, it is suspected, that drivers gain self perceived driving skills that exceed their true skills—leading to increased post training crashes. The consensus from the evaluation of countless advanced driver training programs is that these programs are a detriment to safety, especially for novice, young, male drivers.Some European countries including Sweden, Finland, Austria, Luxembourg, and Norway, have continued to refine these programs, with an entirely new training philosophy emerging around 1990. These ‘post-renewal’ programs have shown considerable promise, despite various data quality and availability concerns. These programs share in common a focus on teaching drivers about self assessment and anticipation of risk, as opposed to teaching drivers how to master driving at the limits of tire adhesion. The programs focus on factors such as self actualization and driving discipline, rather than low level mastery of skills. Drivers are meant to depart these renewed programs with a more realistic assessment of their driving abilities. These renewed programs require considerable specialized and costly infrastructure including dedicated driver training facilities with driving modules engineered specifically for advanced driver training and highly structured curriculums. They are conspicuously missing from both the US road safety toolbox and academic literature. Given the considerable road safety concerns associated with US novice male drivers in particular, these programs warrant further attention.This paper reviews the predominant features and empirical evidence surrounding post licensing advanced driver training programs focused on novice drivers. A clear articulation of differences between the renewed and current US advanced driver training programs is provided. While the individual quantitative evaluations range from marginally to significantly effective in reducing novice driver crash risk, they have been criticized for evaluation deficiencies ranging from small sample sizes to confounding variables to lack of exposure metrics. Collectively, however, the programs sited in the paper suggest at least a marginally positive effect that needs to be validated with further studies. If additional well controlled studies can validate these programs, a pilot program in the US should be considered.

驾驶人驾驶决策机制遵循最小作用量原理

为提升智能汽车的自主决策能力，使其能够学习人的决策智慧以适应复杂多变的道路交通环境，需要揭示驾驶人决策机制。首先通过对自然驾驶数据的分析，发现在车辆行驶过程中能够反映驾驶人决策行为的主要运动特征参数存在极值现象，而产生极值现象的内在动因是驾驶人遵循“趋利避害”的基本决策机制，即驾驶过程中驾驶人力图实现机动性和安全性综合性能最优。受自然界包括物理和生物行为上的众多极值现象遵循最小作用量原理的启发，提出驾驶人决策机制遵循最小作用量原理的假设。随后建立抽象描述驾驶过程的物理模型，并提出最小作用量决策模型（Least Action Decision-making Model，LADM），通过与传统驾驶决策模型（经典跟车模型和换道模型）对比，分析结果显示LADM模型更具通用性。最后开展了实车试验，采集20名驾驶人在自由行驶、跟车行驶和邻车切入3种工况下的试验数据，分析计算并检验了不同驾驶人行车过程的理论最小作用量和实际作用量。试验结果表明：驾驶人在驾驶过程中的实际作用量与最小作用量之间无显著性差异，体现出驾驶人在行车过程中对安全和高效具有共性追求，验证了驾驶人决策机制遵循最小作用量原理。     

Traffic calming measures: An evaluation of four low-cost TCMs' effect on driving speed and lateral distance

The transition from rural highways that afford higher speeds, to urban communities with lower speed limits and wide ranges of road users is a critical safety issue in Northern Iran that such transitions are frequent along a high-way running approximately parallel to the Caspian Sea shoreline and linking >50 urban communities. This study aims to investigate the efficiency of 4 low-cost traffic calming measurements (TCM) at a simulated 1.5 km length of this rural highway as a representative. 39 participants with at least 3 years of driving experience took part in this study, and comparisons of driver behaviors in case of speed and lateral position as a safety index in 4 scenarios and base scenario were outputted. MANOVA analysis was conducted on speed and lateral position data outputted from the simulator device, at the entry into the urban community. Comparison of mean speed results obtained revealed that all 4 treatments significantly reduced the mean speed of drivers. In this respect, the benefits of modified road signs were proven to be as successful as road surface markings. As another criterion for safety, the investigation showed road signs and transverse rumble strips increased lateral position, but the pattern of peripheral hatched markings significantly reduced the lateral position. In case of speed reduction, maintaining the reduced speed is another issue that has been resulted that as soon as TCMs end up, the speed increases, however, does not reach the former values.
