DO TIME-BASED ROAD-USER CHARGES INDUCE RISK-TAKING? - RESULTS FROM A DRIVING SIMULATOR

摘要: This study, conducted for ethical reasons on a driving simulator, has indicated that drivers take more risks when they are being charged their use of road-space the basis time than do not subject to such charges. effect appears be highly significant some measures risk-taking (e.g. red-light violation and illegal overtaking), but less so others. The is apparent even at very low charge levels observed irrespective whether based total travel or spent below specified speeds ('delay charges'). There are, however, differences in types risky behaviour engendered by these two charging regimes. These results have obvious potentially serious implications implementation time-based road-user
