On-Road Investigation of Fluorescent Sign Colors to Improve Conspicuity
… black on orange.Phase II was conducted using an instrumented vehicle through a construction zone-related detour. Questionnaire data were also obtained. The independent variables of interest were sign color combination, age, and visibility condition. The findings of Phase II indicated that use of …

An Assessment of the Attention Demand Associated with the Processing of Information for In-Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS)
… the primary task of driving to a secondary in-vehicle task). The attention demand required as part of the process of extracting information has been studied relatively extensively. However, the processing required to make complex decisions is not well understood and provides cause for concern. …

Human Factors Evaluation of an In-Vehicle Active Traffic and Demand Management (ATDM) System
… development and subsequent evaluation of an in-vehicle Active Traffic and Demand Management (ATDM) system deployed on I-66. The ATDM elements inside the vehicle allowed drivers to remain consistently aware of traffic conditions and roadway requirements even if external signage was inaccessible. …

Examining the Effect of Driving Experience on Teenage Driving Ability with Secondary Tasks
… 42 teenage drivers and their parents using an instrumented vehicle for two one hour test track sessions spaced 12 months apart. For part of the sessions, participants followed a lead vehicle which allowed for range data to be collected. Teenage and experienced drivers' driving were compared for …

Driver Behavior Analysis Based on Real On-Road Driving Data in the Design of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems
The number of vehicles on the roads increases every day. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the overwhelming majority of serious crashes (over 94 percent) are caused by human error. The broad aim of this research is to develop a driver behavior model using real …

Intelligent Tire Based Tire Force Characterization and its Application in Vehicle Stability and Performance
… defining both the safety and performance of the vehicle. The interaction between the tire and the road surface determines the vehicle's ability to accelerate, decelerate and steer. Having information about this interaction in real-time can be very valuable for the on-board advanced active safety …

Driver Comprehension of Integrated Collision Avoidance System Alerts Presented through a Haptic Driver Seat
… balanced for age and gender, drove an instrumented vehicle on a test-track while haptic alerts (vibrations in the driver seat) were generated. Drivers' ability to transmit the information conveyed by the alerts was investigated through two experiments. The first experiment investigated …

Auditory-Based Supplemental Information Processing Demand Effects on Driving Performance
… auditory cognitive tasks while driving an instrumented vehicle. The tasks were of two types. The first type of task was the selection of a driving route from a list presented as a recorded sound. These tasks represented the use of In-Vehicle Information Systems (IVIS). The second type of …
