“…Liu et al (2013) studied the influence of the plane layout of the edge rate lines on the speed reduction effect, and found that the double-row edge rate lines had better speed reduction effect. Furthermore, through road experiments, Ding et al (2017aDing et al ( , 2017bDing et al ( , 2019 found that edge rate marking can not only reduce the speed, but also increase the headway time, the cycle length of edge rate lines selected by the experiment were 2 m.…”

“…Road edge rate line is a special marking line designed based on the edge rate theory and laid on the both sides of road along the driving direction or across the lanes with certain specified interval, which can induce the behaviour of drivers and helps drivers to slow down. Edge rate is defined as the number of edges or intervals through the vision field of observer in unit time and its unit is [Hz] or [cycles/s] (Ding et al 2019). To drivers, edge rate is an important source for drivers to perceive speed.…”

It is known that the installation of edge rate lines can help reduce driving speed. Theoretically, higher edge rate density leads to higher perception speed, so as the effect of speed reduction. However, there has not been a successful evaluation of appropriate design cycle length requirements. A series of experiments were taken on the straight sections on Hangrui highway in China. The cycle length was separately set in different values of 16, 8, 4, 2 and 1 m. The results showed that cycle length had significantly influence on the speed reduction effect. When the length of spatial edge rate line in each cycle λ equalled to the value of 16, 8, 4, 2 m, the effect of speed reduction was significantly enhanced as λ decreased. Percent of average speed reduction was 0.8, 3.0, 5.8 and 7.4%, respectively. However, when λ = 1 m, speed reduction effect was weaker than λ = 2 m, reduction percent of average speed was 5.2%. Then, relations between acceleration and average edge rate was analysed. When temporal frequency of edge rate lines fell in (10 Hz, 19 Hz], the braking deceleration of drivers increased as the temporal frequency increased, which conformed to the relation between temporal frequency and perception speed; when temporal frequency was lower than 10 Hz, some drivers will speed up. It may be related to the threshold of perception speed difference; when temporal frequency was higher than 19 Hz, some drivers will speed up. It may be related to flicker fusion phenomenon. According to the experiments results, edge rate lines cycle length for future implementations should be determined by the speed distribution of the target road.

“…In China, speed reduction markings are not enforceable because the markings are characterized as non-intrusive speed control devices. Although many Chinese researchers [17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23] assume that speed reduction marking would make drivers believe that the lane becomes narrower which would generate visual illusion on drivers. However, such assumptions need more theoretical or empirical studies conducted based on the characteristics road specific in China.…”

“…Recently, Ding et al performed a naturalistic field driving to study the effects of reverse linear perspective of transverse markings on car-following headway in China. The results showed that the car-following time headway was increased after the installation of the reverse linear perspective information [22]. Another Chinese research group [23] recently published the study regarding the effect of transverse markings on left turn direct connectors of urban expressways in China.…”

Evaluation effects of two types of freeway deceleration markings in China

et al. 2019

This paper presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of two types of deceleration markings on freeways in China: fishbone-shaped (FS) markings and edge-rate (ER) markings. An actual 4-lane, 6-km long freeway in Province Hebei was created in a driving simulator and used for the experiments. Three scenarios of deceleration markings were adopted: one without markings, one with FS markings, and the third with ER markings. For each scenario, three traffic flow levels were adopted (low, medium, and heavy). The appropriate dimensions of deceleration markings were first established using relevant design guidelines and then used to develop the simulation scenarios using Multigen Creator software. Sixty drivers carried out the simulation experiments with eye tracker equipment. The adequacy of deceleration markings was analyzed with respect to speed, perceived distance, pupil diameter, and geometric parameters. The results showed that both types of deceleration markings made a certain effect on vehicle speed, drivers’visual behavior, and mental characteristics. However, the effect of the FS markings was more pronounced than that of the ER marking. Specifically, the FS markings showed a speed reduction of 12.3 km/h to 15.2 km/h and a perceived distance of 70 m to 90 m, compared with 6.7 km/h to 9.9 km/h and 40 m to 60 m, respectively, for the ER markings. Application comments of the results are provided in the conclusion.

“…Advantage comparing to naturalistic driving is that participants can operate it without any dangers. Several studies have focused on the differences in driving behaviour between different countries in real‐world roads [36–39]. To control the effects of factors that may influence the driving behaviour, a driving‐simulator based study was conducted to test the differences in car‐following behaviours between Chinese young male and Germany young male drivers.…”
