Sound and Vibration Analysis of Alternative Rumble Strips

Creator:: Horne, Dylan Ross
Abstract:: Roadway departure crashes accounted for 18,275 fatal crashes in 2017 across the United States (Jones et al. 2017). Rumble strips (RS) provide audible and haptic interior alert when a vehicle is departing the roadway reducing run-off-the road crashes. Although inexpensive to install, and easy to maintain, RS are not installed...

Evaluating Driver Response to the Onset of Circular Yellow Indication in the Presence of a Following Vehicle at Isolated High-Speed Signalized Intersections

Creator:: Mohammed, Hameed A.
Abstract:: Dilemma zones on the approach to high-speed signalized intersections have been identified as a safety problem that can contribute to rear–end and right–angle crashes. However, in situations when a pair of vehicles is caught in the dilemma zone, it is not well understood how the following vehicle’s headway and classification...

Driver Distraction from Unmanned Aerial Systems: Evidence, Policy, and Mitigation

Creator:: Barlow, Zachary W.
Abstract:: Unmanned aerial systems (UASs), more commonly known as drones, have recently achieved commercial success for many public and private applications. As with all emerging technologies, new safety concerns and conflicts with existing paradigms are likely to arise. Many potential applications of UASs will result in their operation near roadway infrastructure,...

Innovative Applications of Real-World Vehicle Trajectories Collected with a Radar Vehicle Detection System

Creator:: Simpson, Ellen J.
Abstract:: Left turn movements are considered to be the highest risk movements through an intersection, and can result in head on, angle, or side impact crashes. The flashing yellow arrow (FYA) for use as a permissive left turn phasing indication is relatively recent, first appearing in the 2009 edition Manual on...

Transportation Infrastructure to Support Bicycling in Dense Urban Environments : Design and Operational Considerations for Bicycle Lanes in Proximity to Commercial Vehicle Loading Zones

Creator:: Ghodrat Abadi, Masoud
Abstract:: While sophisticated plans have been adopted nationally and globally to increase bicycling’s share of daily commutes, safety concerns have negatively impacted targeted bicycling growth. Specifically, truck traffic plays a pivotal role in bicyclists’ perceptions of safety and comfort, because of the severe consequences of bicycle-truck collisions. Several types of engineering...

Influence of Bicyclist Presence on Driver Performance during Autonomous Vehilce Take-Over Requests

Creator:: Fleskes, Kayla
Abstract:: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) may have the potential to mitigate a significant proportion of serious crashes which are due to human error or poor decision making behind the wheel. However, there are still many concerns associated with SAE Level 3 AVs that require intervention by a human driver after a take-over...

Implications of Red Signal Countdown Timers on Visual Attention of Oregon Drivers

Creator:: Wyman, Amy A.
Abstract:: Red Signal Countdown Timers (RSCTs) are devices placed at intersections to inform drivers of the time remaining on a red indication before it turns green, typically to improve intersection efficiency. This study examines the visual attention of Oregon drivers to circular red (CR) indications with RSCTs as compared to standard...

Consideration of Driver Behavior in the Design of Red Light Extension Systems

Creator:: McCrea, Sarah Anne
Abstract:: Red Light Running (RLR) is a safety hazard at signalized intersections in Oregon and throughout the United States. Various methods of mitigating factors contributing to RLR have been implemented but few protect against a conflict when a vehicles runs a red light. Additionally, current prediction algorithms are complicated; there is...

The Evaluation of Engineering Treatments for Right-Hook Crashes at Signalized Intersections with Bicycle Traffic

Creator:: Warner, Jennifer Lynn
Abstract:: A right-hook crash is a bicycle-motor vehicle crash between a right-turning motor vehicle and an adjacent through-moving bicycle. This study focuses on right-hook crashes that occur during the latter stage of the circular green indication at signalized intersections with shared right-turn and through lanes. The overall objective was to evaluate...

Influence of Texting on Driver Glance Patterns and Vehicular Lane Position on Horizontal Curves

Creator:: Ellett, Makenzie A.
Abstract:: The use of in-vehicle technologies, such as mobile phones, while driving has proliferated in recent years. Most notably, drivers are using mobile phones to send and receive text messages while operating a vehicle with increasing frequency. The act of texting while driving poses a significant threat not only to the...
