Using the UCF Driving Simulator as a Test Bed for High Risk Locations

摘要: University of Central Florida (UCF) driving simulator could be a powerful tool to used as traffic safety test bed identify potential problems intersection design, explain interaction between drivers and roadway surroundings, explore effective countermeasures reduce crash rates. To develop the UCF bed, this project focused on validating from two perspectives, Speed Safety. achieve research objective, signalized that has one highest frequencies in was replicated system. Eight scenarios were designed at experiment. Subjects based gender classification five age groups interest including Very Young (15 19), (20 24), Younger Middle-aged (25 34), Middle (35 44) Older middle-aged (45+) recruited eight scenarios. The experimental measurements subjects' performances compared those measured field police report analysis. It found have similar risk patterns real intersection. Therefore, experiment results validated properly employed for behavior studies.
