“…As anticipate in the last part of the Introduction section, some researches on vehicle trajectories applied indicators as SDLP and mLP, neglecting some evident critical issues (Bobermin et al, 2021). Probably, these indicators contribute to a certain knowledge of the phenomenon, but do not permit an objective and valid quanti cation of the observed behaviour in all the situations.…”

Road geometrical design out of standards: a preliminary study in a simulated context

When a road design solution is quite out of standards for the presence of insurmountable constraints, there is the need for an objective procedure aimed at achieving a certain level of safety for drivers.To avoid issues on judicial responsibility, designers aim to fully satisfy the existing standards, possibly without any exception. Traditional methodologies based on previous experience or road administrators' guidelines generally caused problems due to the high subjectivity involved in the analysis.In this paper, to overpass these issues, a rational procedure based on vehicles telemetry data in a simulated environment is proposed. This process, through synthetic indices, allows the analysts to compare two road geometries, similar but different, because one includes curves with shorter residual circular arcs than threshold values imposed by Italian standards.The main results, derived from a two-way ANOVA with subsequent contrast analysis, suggest that a certain deviation respect to the standards did not determine any decay in the driver's performance.Compared to the existing literature, in this study a full objective procedure was proposed, based on a totally new indicator, which can be easily adapted to any context, involving driver, road and vehicle at the same time.

“…The present study, designed as a scoping review, joins the efforts of other authors who have conducted review articles related to the study of various topics in driving sim-ulators, such as the impact of cannabis on the driving performance of novice drivers [ 6 ], road geometric design effects on driver behavior [ 7 ], awareness of sleepiness while driv-ing [ 8 ], the influence of alcohol on driving behavior [ 9 ], sleepiness detection [ 10 ], drowsi-ness effect [ 11 ], fitness to drive in sleepy individuals [ 12 ], relationship between impact speed and the probability of pedestrian fatality during a vehicle–pedestrian crash [ 13 ], driving simulator validation [ 14 ], driving simulation technology and applications [ 15 ], and driving performance parameters critical for distracted driving research [ 16 ]. A systematic search of the literature was performed to highlight the studies conducted in driving simulators that are focused on the detection of distractions caused by the use of mobile phones and what is the knowledge that emerges from these studies.…”

Distracted driving is a growing concern around the world and has been the focus of many naturalistic and simulator-based studies. Driving simulators provide excellent practical and theoretical help in studying the driving process, and considerable efforts have been made to prove their validity. This research aimed to review relevant simulator-based studies focused on investigating the effects of the talking-on-the-phone-while-driving distraction on drivers’ behavior. This work is a scoping review which followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. The search was performed on five databases, covering twenty years of research results. It was focused on finding answers to three research questions that could offer an overview of the main sources of distraction, the research infrastructure, and the measures that were used to analyze and predict the effects of distractions. A number of 4332 studies were identified in the database search, from which 83 were included in the review. The main findings revealed that TPWD distraction negatively affects driving performance, exposing drivers to dangerous traffic situations. Moreover, there is a general understanding that the driver’s cognitive, manual, visual, and auditory resources are all involved, to a certain degree, when executing a secondary task while driving.

“…During the tests with the use of the simulator, the participant is aware of participating in an experiment, which means the perception of risk is limited since the driver is not afraid of the consequences of a road accident. Moreover, simulators do not fully reflect the real sound and image, and thus significantly reduce the visual and motor stimuli perceived by the driver [5,13].…”

Driving style and driver behaviour are important in evaluating city bus drivers. Buses are one of the means of public transportation in cities, used by millions of people. The purpose of this study was to present a model for preliminary classification of driving style of the professional drivers based on averaged maximum values of lateral and longitudinal acceleration recorded during regular work. First, the recorded acceleration values of 69 city bus drivers were analysed. Then, the correlation between the acceleration values and the age and experience of the city bus drivers was examined. Based on the results of the preliminary classification of drivers, extreme values for both lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration (deceleration and acceleration) were obtained by 3 drivers out of the 69 tested. The study also examined the relationship between averaged values of maximum lateral and longitudinal acceleration and driver age and experience. Based on the correlation results, showed that age and the number of years of holding a driver's license are not significantly related to acceleration. Therefore, the method can be used to analyse drivers regardless of their age and experience.
