Evaluating the effects of bilingual traffic signs on driver performance and safety

Article Abstract:

A survey examining the longitudinal and lateral driver performances was conducted to study the impact of various bilingual variable message signs (VMS) of different configurations on a driver's behavior and safety. The analysis suggested that the drivers were able to read these bilingual signs without affecting their driving, but led to the reduction in their speed and increment in the headway to the vehicle in front and hence requires further researches to reduce these ill-effects.

Visual attention while driving: sequences of eye fixations made by experiences and novice drivers

Article Abstract:

Eye fixations were recorded while novice and experienced drivers drove along three types of roads namely, rural, suburban and dust-carriageway. An analysis of the content of those fixations was performed in order to identify differences in the scan paths that can be associated with skill acquisition and that can indicate sensitivity to road type.

The relationships between organizational and individual variables to on-the-job driver accidents and accident-free kilometers

Article Abstract:

The study focuses on the contribution of organizational factors and driver behaviors to on-the-job driving accidents in a large Western Canadian corporation. A structural equation modeling (SEM) approach is used which allows researchers to test a complex set of relationships within a global theoretical framework.
