Simulator 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 ...
متن کاملBenefits 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 کاملPedestrian Preferences with Respect to Roundabouts
44 Attention to user behavior and preferences has been a helpful tool in improving road safety and 45 accident prevention in recent years. At the same time, there remain some important areas of road 46 safety and accident prevention for which user preferences have not been explored. For instance, 47 so far, road safety research has not addressed pedestrian and vulnerable user preferences with 4...
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...
