INTRODUCTION: Development and implementation of autonomous vehicle (AV) related regulations are necessary to ensure safe AV deployment and wide acceptance among all roadway users. Assessment of vulnerable roadway users' perceptions on AV regulations ...
The objective of this research is to simulate an automatic fuelling system using a PLC LogixPro simulation. The system includes the "FASS" concept, which is Fast, Accurate, Safe and Simple, to allow car users to have an efficient fuel filling system....
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to predict the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) through a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model. It provides an early, simple and accurate prediction method for NIHL.
Safety is one of the most essential considerations when evaluating the performance of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Real-world AV data, including trajectory, detection, and crash data, are becoming increasingly popular as they provide possibilities for ...
Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are a leading cause of death for law enforcement officers (LEOs) in the U.S. LEOs and more specifically novice LEOs (nLEOs) are susceptible to high cognitive workload while driving which can lead to fatal MVCs. The object...
This study addresses the issue of wrong-way driving (WWD) incidents at partial cloverleaf (parclo) interchange terminals in the United States. These incidents are a safety concern, often attributed to geometric design features and inadequate traffic ...
Jaywalking, as a hazardous crossing behavior, leaves little time for drivers to anticipate and respond promptly, resulting in high crossing risks. The prevalence of Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technologies has offered new solutions for mitigating jaywalk...
To deepen the understanding of the impact of car-following driving style (CFDS) on traffic conflict risk and address the lack of clear CFDS evaluation metrics, this study proposes an improved CFDS metric based on the Asymmetric Behavior (AB) theory. ...
Cooperative control of intersection signals and connected automated vehicles (CAVs) possess the potential for safety enhancement and congestion alleviation, facilitating the integration of CAVs into urban intelligent transportation systems. This rese...
Aesthetics has always been an advanced requirement in road environment design, because it can provide a pleasant driving experience and guide better driving behavior for human drivers. However, it remains unknown whether aesthetics-based road environ...
