Evaluation of Traffic Safety at Un-signalized Intersections Using Microsimulation:A Utilization of Proximal Safety Indicators Universiteit Hasselt
In many cases crashes at intersections account for over 50% of all urban road crashes. The need to reduce these crashes has fostered considerable research on the development and evaluation of traffic safety at intersections. This paper introduces a micro-level behavioral approach for estimating the crash potential at unsignalized intersections for different traffic conditions. To this end, proximal safety indicators which represent the temporal ...
The role of leadership in air traffic safety employees’ safety behavior KU Leuven
Safety behavior is the most critical task for air traffic controllers and other air traffic safety (ATS) employees. The literature shows that one of the main antecedents for ensuring safety is leadership. Yet, the understanding of leadership within air traffic control (ATC) is very limited. Drawing on both social learning theory and social exchange theory, the current research proposes and investigates the relationship between leadership aspects ...
Building road safety models to improve traffic safety in Hochiminh City, Vietnam Universiteit Hasselt
Improving road safety is one of the most important public health issues and government priorities of all countries in the world, especially in emerging countries. Over the past 26 years of reformed economic development, Vietnam’s road safety problems have constantly been a national challenge which not only required efforts by the Vietnamese government, but which also attracted more and more special interest within the scientific research ...
Traffic safety culture of professional drivers in the State of Qatar Universiteit Hasselt
Professional drivers play a significant role within the traffic system of the State of Qatar. With developing infrastructure, the need for professional drivers is growing. However, knowledge is lacking about their perception of traffic safety. Therefore, this study investigates the personal acceptance of risky driving and suggested traffic laws among this specific group of drivers, in order to create understanding about their likelihood to ...
Evaluation of a Road Safety Education Program Based on Driving Under Influence and Traffic Risks for Higher Secondary School Students in Belgium Universiteit Hasselt
Road safety education has been recognized as an instrument for reducing road accidents. This study aims to evaluate the road safety education program “Traffic Weeks” among higher secondary school students (age 16–19) in Belgium. The program focuses on driving under influence (DUI) and traffic risks. This study investigates whether the program has an effect on socio-cognitive variables using a questionnaire based on the theory of planned ...
Analysis of Children Road Traffic Accidents and Proposed Measures for Children Safety Improvement in Ho Chi Minh City Universiteit Hasselt
In recent years, the number of road traffic accidents, fatalities and injuries have been decreasing, but the figures of children road traffic accidents have been increasing in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam. This fact strongly calls for implementing effective solutions to improve traffic safety for children by the local government. This paper presents the trends, patterns and causes of road traffic accidents involving children based on the analysis ...
Safety and traffic performance implications of higher levels of automated vehicles in urban areas Universiteit Hasselt
Evaluating traffic safety and performance effects of countdown timers on signalized intersections: a driving simulator study Universiteit Hasselt
During the last few years application of numerical countdown timers on traffic lights has become more popular. However, there are only a handful of scientific studies that explored the performance of such system. These studies often report contradicting results, most probably due to different driving cultures. Within the context of this study, a comparative analysis was conducted between three different configurations, namely “without countdown ...
