Horizontal Visibility Obstruction Due to LTV

摘要: In Spring 2002, the Center for Advanced Traffic System Simulation (CATSS), at University of Central Florida, acquired a sophisticated reconfigurable driving simulator, This simulator is capable supporting research in simulation, driver training, traffic engineering and human factors. However, it crucial to assess validation since creditability all previous researches completed using relies on latter. paper compares results an application that consisted studying contribution Light Truck Vehicles (LTV) rear-end accidents wit Aty et al (2002) who pursued same study crash database instead as source data. both studies, was agreed LTVs can obstruct horizontal visibility following car sudden stop may deprive succeeding vehicle sufficient reaction time, leading high probability collisions. A scenario illustrating typical situation new blockage designed subjects from different ages gender experiment. The showed there statistically significant difference between number collisions passenger LTV with higher LTV. Those comply obtained by 2002. Therefore, homogeneity Aty’s survey suggest produce reasonable data are very close real life
