Abstract:

Adverse weather conditions can increase travel risk. Understanding how drivers react to adverse weather, such as rainfall, can aid in the understanding of road safety patterns and traffic operations. This information can in turn be used to improve driver education as well as highway operation through improved signing or the introduction of intelligent highway systems. Hourly rainfall data collected from the Pearson International Airport weather station and City of Toronto traffic data collected at the study site on the Gardiner expressway were used to create event and control pairs.

Abstract:

Unsafe driving habits increase the severity of roadway accidents. The behaviors that are generally associated with unsafe driving are influenced by drivers and their decision to engage in dangerous habits. In order to solve this problem, Departments of Transportation use roadside safety campaigns. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of these campaigns, this research study captured five different metrics of effectiveness to understand what messages are effective and how to target messages to different groups of people. Since reading and interpreting the messages produces

Abstract:

This thesis reports five studies that investigate the impact of trust on driver response to forward collision warning systems (FCWS). The experiments, while self-contained were conceived to relate together in a cohesive way. The first three studies investigated the relationship between alarm timing and driver performance in collision situations in a broad range of driving conditions. These studies also established trust models describing changes in driver subjective ratings of trust in response to alarm timing. It was found that an early alarm timing led to quick braking reaction times, result

Abstract:

Reductions in speed and, more critically, speed variability between vehicles are thought to reduce crash risk in work zones. Numerous factors, such as lane width and lateral clearance and activity level, have been shown to influence speed but very little research has considered how multiple factors might interact to affect driver performance in work zones. This study evaluated the effect of work zone barrier type, presence of a lateral buffer, and work zone activity level on measures of speed and lane position.

Abstract:

The 21st century automobile has become more than just a simple tool for transportation and more of a brand image or a way for drivers to express their personal taste.

Currently there is not enough information on how to design or brand the communication of meaningful feedback from the automobile to the driver. With the development of new advanced technologies such as electric steer-by-wire systems or electric automobiles, the ne

Abstract:

Every year, approximately 34,000 individuals are fatally injured in crashes on US roads [1]. These fatalities occur across many types of crash scenarios, each with its own causation factors. One way to prioritize research on a preventive technology is to compare the number of occupant fatalities relative to the total number of occupants involved in a crash scenario. Four crash modes are overrepresented among fatalities: single vehicle road departure crashes, control loss crashes, cross-centerline head-on crashes, and pedestrian/cyclist crashes [2]. Interestingly, three of these crash scenarios

Academic studies of sustainable fashion, and the discourses of actors in business and policy, under-define fashion as a system by treating the social and ecological aspects of fashion separately.

Understanding how fashion works as a system presents a challenge to transdisciplinary efforts for transformation towards sustainability. In this Licentiate, I explo

Abstract:

In comparison to conventional cruise control, adaptive cruise control (ACC) vehicles are capable of sensing forward traffic and slowing to accommodate as necessary. When no forward vehicles are present, ACC function is the same as conventional cruise control. However, with ACC, when a slower vehicle is detected, the ACC system will decelerate and follow at a selected time-based distance. While slowing to follow, the driver will experience a system-controlled deceleration of the ACC vehicle. An experiment was conducted to evaluate driver preferences for the distance at which the primary deceler

Abstract:

Bridge monitoring studies indicate that the quasi-static response of a bridge, while dependent on various input forces, is affected predominantly by variations in temperature. In many structures, the quasi-static response can even be approximated as equal to its thermal response. Consequently, interpretation of measurements from quasi-static monitoring requires accounting for the thermal response in measurements. Developing solutions to this challenge, which is critical to relate measurements to decision-making and thereby realize the full potential of SHM for bridge management, is the main fo

Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Every year, more than 1.24 million traffic related deaths are registered globally with the highest fatality rates in middle- and low income countries. Minibus taxis represent the most dominant mode of public transportation associated with road traffic crashes and injuries in most African countries. From a safety perspective, aggressive driving behaviour is one of the main causes of road traffic crashes. This study examined the nature and the frequency of the most common types of the minibus taxis drivers’ on-road aggressive beh

Abstract:

Exhaust emissions from vehicles are major contributor to local air pollution and global climate change. Electric vehicles are zero tailpipe emission, while electricity can be generated from renewable sources. They are widely considered by policymakers. Although the Hong Kong Government carried out various policies in last few years, the market share of electric vehicles is still low, particularly in the public transport sector. This dissertation aims to investigate the policy drivers and obstacles to electric vehicles adoption in Hong Kong, focus on public transport vehicles – buses, public l

Abstract:

Shallow water tropical and temperate marine habitats are changing dramatically in response to many stressor-driven effects. The change in turn threatens the associated fish communities relying on their maintenance for habitat provision. At present, a much better understanding of the interaction between changing habitats and the associated fish is necessary. To address the lack of understanding of the habitat – fish association, mechanisms which underpin the habitat driven responses of reef fish were examined, from entire communities down to species level, across tropical and temperate ecosyste
