Download or read book Nighttime Driver Needs written by Jerremy Eugene Clark and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to see traffic signs at night has led to the development of increasingly brighter retroreflective sign sheeting. The impact of this increased brightness has been shown to increase the legibility distance of the sign, but at what cost? With brighter signs being visible from farther away, there is an increased opportunity for the driver to look at the sign. This thesis assesses the impact of sign brightness on the nighttime driver's sign viewing behavior; such as the number of glances and the total glance duration directed at the sign. Eye-tracking technology has been used to follow the nighttime driver's eye movements through tasks based on sign usage. The six signs used for the analysis are classified in three relative brightness categories of bright, medium, and dim on a closed course and on a public road. Data relating to the beginning and end of each glance were recorded as well as the distance at which the sign became legible to the driver. Comparisons were made between the three brightness levels for the number of glances, total glance duration, and legibility distance of the sign. Further analysis was conducted to determine the effect of the testing environment on a driver's sign viewing behavior by comparing the results from the closed course with those from the open road. The data for this thesis show varying results between the two courses with more defined differences based on luminance for the open road. The results of this thesis indicate that drivers do not consistently change the number of times they look at a sign or the amount of time dedicated to a sign based on its brightness. During real world driving scenarios, the brightest sign resulted in the longest legibility distance and the lowest total glance duration, indicating an increased efficiency reading the sign by the driver. Typically, a sign with a longer total glance duration had a shorter legibility distance. Comparisons between the closed and open courses revealed that open road driving resulted in a longer total glance duration and a shorter legibility distance.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Static and dynamic legibility studies were conducted to investigate the effects of level of reflectivity, letter series, stroke width, letter spacing, font, letter height, and driver age. The dynamic study also considered the effect of sign size and retroreflectivity on the level of conspicuity. As expected, driver age had the largest effect on both legibility and conspicuity. In fact, the daytime legibility for older drivers is almost as poor as night legibility. Level of retroreflectivity, letter series, and letter height all had a significant effect on legibility. Increases in letter height resulted in proportionate increases in legibility up to about 600 ft (183 m).

This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get a complete look into modern traffic engineering solutions Traffic Engineering Handbook, Seventh Edition is a newly revised text that builds upon the reputation as the go-to source of essential traffic engineering solutions that this book has maintained for the past 70 years. The updated content reflects changes in key industry standards, and shines a spotlight on the needs of all users, the design of context-sensitive roadways, and the development of more sustainable transportation solutions. Additionally, this resource features a new organizational structure that promotes a more functionally-driven, multimodal approach to planning, designing, and implementing transportation solutions. A branch of civil engineering, traffic engineering concerns the safe and efficient movement of people and goods along roadways. Traffic flow, road geometry, sidewalks, crosswalks, cycle facilities, shared lane markings, traffic signs, traffic lights, and more—all of these elements must be considered when designing public and private sector transportation solutions. Explore the fundamental concepts of traffic engineering as they relate to operation, design, and management Access updated content that reflects changes in key industry-leading resources, such as the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), AASSHTO Policy on Geometric Design, Highway Safety Manual (HSM), and Americans with Disabilities Act Understand the current state of the traffic engineering field Leverage revised information that homes in on the key topics most relevant to traffic engineering in today's world, such as context-sensitive roadways and sustainable transportation solutions Traffic Engineering Handbook, Seventh Edition is an essential text for public and private sector transportation practitioners, transportation decision makers, public officials, and even upper-level undergraduate and graduate students who are studying transportation engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to traffic engineers, planners, and others interested in making sure that motorists' needs for directional information on freeways are being met. Information is provided on policies and procedures used by states in evaluating freeway guide signs and replacing those that are outdated or deteriorated. Many signs on freeways and other controlled-access highways have exceeded their service life and are no longer serving motorists' needs. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the policies, proceduress, and criteria used by states for freeway sign evaluation and replacement programs.
