The Impact of Adaptive Cruise Control on the Drivers’ Workload and Attention Open
Workload and distraction are problems that affect road driving and can cause very serious accidents. Drive assistance systems are very important to help drivers relieve fatigue of driving by increasing road safety and reducing the number o…

The Visual Behaviour of the Cyclist: Comparison between Simulated and Real Scenarios Open
Cyclists are one of the main categories of road users particularly exposed to accident risk. The increasing use of this ecological means of transport requires a specific assessment of cyclist safety in terms of traffic flow and human facto…

Traffic Flow with the Adaptive Cruise Control: The Comparison between Autonomous and Manual Driving Open
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is useful in the most dangerous maneuvers such as braking and acceleration. This study assesses how ACC modifies traffic flows by analysing the differences be-tween manual and autonomous driving in connected a…

Evaluation of Cycling Safety and Comfort in Bad Weather and Surface Conditions Using an Instrumented Bicycle Open
Understanding how vulnerable road users (cyclists and pedestrians) behave enables the construction of better roadways with adapted geometric and surface design which leads to improve cycling safety and comfort. This study examines the beha…

Safety roads: the analysis of driving behaviour and the effects on the infrastructural design Open
Road design should ensure the correct behaviour of drivers in terms of speed and level of attention. Nevertheless, in some cases users are not able to visualize the carriageway enough correctly, owing to the misled road layout or the loss …

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Application for a Section of Bologna’s Red Tramway Line Open
New technologies such as the I-BIM (Infrastructure Building Information Modeling) are radically changing the infrastructure design and construction sector. In this study, the I-BIM approach has been used for the design of a portion of the …

Urban Mid-Block Bicycle Crossings: The Effects of Red Colored Pavement and Portal Overhead Bicycle Crossing Sign Open
This paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of some mid-block bicycle crossing elements by analyzing the drivers’ behavior, when approaching the bicycle crossings in a real road experiments with 18 participants. The eye-tracking instr…

Flashing in-curb LEDs and beacons at unsignalized crosswalks and driver’s visual attention to pedestrians during nighttime Open
Driver's visual attention (eye movements) and driving behaviour (kinematic data) were assessed when approaching an experimental crosswalk that included flashing white in-curb LED strips, flashing orange beacons, backlit 'Yield here to pede…

Road Safety Review update by using innovative technologies to investigate driver behaviour Open
Urban arterial roads provide high-speed passage to facilitate traffic in urban areas. However, unlike freeways, they consist of ramps, roundabouts and unique characteristics due to the limited space in the urban (or semi-urban) environment…
