Human Performance, Information Systems, Simulation, and Visualization
TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2138 includes 18 papers that explore driver distractions leading to crashes, impact of increases in cognitive workload on young adult drivers, impact of cognitive task complexity on drivers, effects of cognitive and perceptual loads on driver behavior, immediate recall of driver warnings in forward collision warning scenarios, and conventional versus moving-map navigation methods.
This issue of the TRR also examines driving behavior as it relates to risk and stress of military personnel during wartime deployment, assessing and influencing driver attitudes, intrafamilial transmission of driving behavior, signs and markings for partial continuous flow intersections, the role of transportation information in mitigating major capacity reductions, the role of dynamic information in changes in travel behavior, adaptation in driving simulators, effect of headlight swivel angle on driver behavior, the impact of narrower lane width, using driving simulators in geometric design, transit outreach and education in a board game format, and visual analytics for transportation incident data sets.
