Effects of Emergency Vehicle Warning Lighting System Characteristics on Driver Perception and Behavior
… color, intensity, modulation, and flash rate on driver behavior while traversing a traffic incident scene at night. The impact of retroreflective chevron markings in combination with lighting configurations, as well as the measurement of “moth-to-flame” effects of emergency lighting on drivers …

Study of Truck Driver Behavior at Onset of Yellow Traffic Signal Indication for the Design of Yellow Times
Traffic signal violations by drivers are a leading contributor to crashes at signalized intersections. The yellow indication is used to inform drivers of an upcoming change in the status of the traffic signal. Yellow-interval durations are currently calculated to provide dilemma zone protection for …

Influence of Architecture Design on the Performance and Fuel Efficiency of Hydraulic Hybrid Transmissions
… Finally to investigate controllability and driver perception an SUV was retrofitted with a blended hybrid transmission. Successful on-road vehicle testing showcased the potential of this novel hybrid architecture as a viable alternative to more conventional electric hybrids in the …

Study of Bus Driver Behavior at the Onset of Yellow Traffic Signal Indication for the Design of Yellow Time Durations
Driver violations at traffic signals are a major cause of intersection vehicle crashes. The yellow interval is used to inform approaching drivers of an upcoming change in the traffic signal indication from green to red. Current yellow-interval durations are currently calculated to accommodate for …

Design of Wet Surface Traffic Signal Timing Change Intervals
Driver violations of traffic signals are a major cause of intersection vehicle crashes. The duration of yellow intervals is highly associated with driver yellow/red time stopping behavior. Rainy weather and wet pavement surface conditions may result in changes in both driver behavior and vehicle …

Video monitoring devices on school buses: are they effective in reducing behavioral problems?
… of behavioral problems encountered by school bus drivers, decrease the number of discipline referrals issued by the drivers, and improve the drivers’ perception of student behavior. The study utilized an experimental design with random assignment of drivers to treatment and control groups. These …

Statistical and Behavioral Modeling of Driver Behavior on Signalized Intersection Approaches
… as well as behavioral frameworks for modeling driver behavior while approaching high-speed signalized intersection approaches at the onset of a yellow indication. The analysis in this dissertation utilizes two sources of data. The main source is a new dataset that was collected as part of this …

Modeling Human And Machine-In-The-Loop In Car-Following Theory
… activated or deactivated depending on if a human driver is in control of the vehicle. That would ensure that a car-following model is able to reflect the different control and autonomy levels that a vehicle could be operated under. Besides that, this thesis offers a better understanding of how …
