Removing Residual Lane Markings to Reduce Driver Confusion

Creator:: Weber, Jane B.
Abstract:: When pavement markings on roadways are removed, scarring can occur leaving behind traces of where the marking used to be called ghost lines. These ghost lines can confuse drivers on the roadway and divert their attention from the correct lane markings leading them into the false lane. Previous research has...

A safety evaluation of turn lane-adjacent bike lane configurations in Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Wyman, Amy
Abstract:: The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices prohibits positioning a bike lane right-adjacent to a vehicle turn-only lane to mitigate the potential for right-hook crashes. However, it provides no specific guidance on positioning with respect to bus-only lanes. This thesis describes a before/after safety evaluation of bike lanes positioned left...

Preliminary Assessment of Driver Parking Decisions From A Heavy Vehicle Driving Simulator To Inform Curb Management Decisions

Creator:: Liu, Yujun
Abstract:: As e-commerce and urban deliveries spike, there is an increasing demand for curbside loading/unloading space. However, commercial vehicle drivers face numerous challenges while navigating dense urban road networks. Previous literature on the topic of how commercial vehicle drivers make choices about when and where to park is scarce, and data...

Evaluation of Setback Crosswalk to Mitigate Vehicle-Pedestrian Conflicts at Intersections

Creator:: Chai, Eileen Pei Ying
Abstract:: It is considered best practice when designing pedestrian access at intersections to provide two curb ramps at each street corner. In Oregon, there are many locations where long ramp runs cause curb ramps to be set back a significant distance from the apex of the intersection corner to meet this...

Assessing the Impact of Three Intersection Treatments on Bicyclist Safety

Creator:: Scott-Deeter, Logan K..
Abstract:: Bicyclist safety at urban intersections is a critical element for encouraging an increase in bicycle commuting. With bicycle injury and fatality rates rising due to collisions with vehicles at signalized intersections, increasing the safety of riders continues to be an important consideration when promoting this mode of transportation. Previous research...

Evaluation of Dynamic Passive Pedestrian Detection with a Framework for Future Applications

Creator:: Larson, Travis O.
Abstract:: Intersections pose unique transportation challenges regarding safety and operational efficiency. When pedestrians currently want to cross at intersection, they need to use a push button to issue a call for service. The call is static and cannot be altered or changed. But by implementing dynamic passive pedestrian detection sensors, intersections...

Integrating Driving Simulator Experiment Data with Multi-Agent Connected Automated Vehicle Simulation (Ma-Cavs) Platform to Quantify Improved Capacity

Creator:: Chand, Cadell Y.
Abstract:: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) at varying market penetrations will change traffic flow and highway performance. At AV market penetrations between 0% and 100%, human driven vehicles (HVs) will be interacting with AVs. However, little is known about how HVs interact with AVs. This study attempts to quantify HV headways when following...

Evaluation of Driver Behavior during Right Turn Maneuvers at Signalized Intersections: Mitigation of Driver-Pedestrian Conflicts with a Right Turn Flashing Yellow Arrow

Creator:: Jashami, Hisham
Abstract:: Accommodating motor vehicles that are turning (left or right) at signalized intersections requires a careful understanding of the safety and efficiency of design and operational variables. Turning vehicles are the primary collision risk for non-motorized road users at signalized intersections. When turning movements need to be controlled, proper driver response...

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,...
