Benefits of Intelligent Headlamp Technologies to Pedestrian Safety at Roundabouts
A two-part study of the influence of vehicle headlamps and roadway lighting on the ability of drivers to see pedestrians along crosswalks in roundabout intersections was conducted. In the first part of the study, the photometric performance of vehicle headlamp systems including conventional halogen and high intensity discharge (HID) low-beam headlamp systems and intelligent vehicle headlamp sys...
متن کاملGuardrail influence on pedestrian crossing behavior at roundabouts.
Pedestrians account for 10-30% of all road accident fatalities in western countries, and therefore efforts to improve pedestrian safety are of major importance. Research can support these efforts in various ways, particularly by studying road crossing patterns, and by exploring pedestrian compliance rates to safety laws and guidelines. This paper focuses on pedestrian crossing behavior at round...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Diagram of Pedestrian Movement Revisited
The empirical relation between density and velocity of pedestrian movement is not completely analyzed, particularly with regard to the ‘microscopic’ causes which determine the relation at medium and high densities. The simplest system for the investigation of this dependency is the normal movement of pedestrians along a line (single-file movement). This article presents experimental results for...
متن کاملSimulator Study of Driver Responses to Pedestrian Treatments at Multilane Roundabouts.
Previous studies have shown that roundabouts - especially multilane roundabouts - pose accessibility challenges to pedestrians with vision impairments, in part due to a lack of yielding by drivers, especially on multilane roundabout exit legs. In this study, three different treatments are assessed in terms of their propensity for increasing driver yielding rate using a driving simulator. These ...

way. Vehicles entering the roundabout must yield cautiously to ones already navigating the circulatory lane(s). The far-reaching appeal of roundabouts can be specifically ascribed to their substantiated safety benefits, strengthened circulation efficiency, decreased maintenance costs, and improved aesthetic effects (1). France, leading the world with roughly 15,000 modern roundabouts, has been ...
