A total of 64 participants were asked to look at 24 pictures of waiting scenes on an eye tracker and to complete a questionnaire. The results show that window permeability, number and distribution of passengers, and queuing mode significantly affect the POC, emotion, and gaze behavior of waiting passengers. The POC, emotion of waiting passengers, and their gaze at the waiting environment significantly affect the willingness to ride. Accordingly, we propose to promote the development of bus travel through measures such as providing more accurate travel information, installing queuing facilities, and modifying the bus card swiping machines.

Despite acknowledging risky riding behavior as a significant contributor to PTW crashes, comprehensive studies evaluating how specific riding behaviors/maneuvers influence PTW safety remain scarce. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the safety implications of key PTW rider maneuvers such as following, filtering, overtaking, and weaving using the proactive approach. The study findings reveal that PTW riders perform following and overtaking maneuvers more frequently compared to filtering and weaving maneuvers, regardless of road width and traffic conditions. Following maneuvers carry the lowest crash risk while overtaking maneuvers pose a slightly higher risk than the following maneuvers. Although less frequent, filtering and weaving maneuvers exhibit significantly higher crash risks than the following and overtaking, with weaving maneuvers being the most hazardous. The study highlights that existing car-based collision warning systems may not be effective for PTWs due to their unique dynamic behaviors, emphasizing the need for PTW-specific safety systems. The insights from this study could be vital for evidence-based policy-making toward developing improved rider training programs, effective road safety campaigns that discourage hazardous maneuvers, and robust risk mitigation strategies on urban roads.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"109 ","pages":"Pages 739-753"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143100239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, it is important to understand the factors that drive their use of technology while walking and the associated risky street-crossing behaviors. Given that smartphone and smartwatch use are among the most common technology-related activities in pedestrian behavior, this study aimed to investigate the influence of behavioral and psychological factors, including fear of missing out (FoMO), mindfulness, nomophobia, self-identity, and self-control on pedestrian technology use while walking (i.e., smartphone and smartwatch use) and their propensity for risky street-crossing behavior. Data were collected from an online survey of 2221 participants in different cities of Iran. A structural equation model (SEM) was developed to explore these relationships, drawing on insights from previous theoretical frameworks. To account for the effect of heterogeneity, the relationship between constructs was explored among different individual groups using Multiple Indicator Multiple Causes (MIMIC) models and Multi-Group Analysis (MGA). The results revealed that mindfulness, followed by nomophobia and self-identity, were the strongest predictors of technology use while walking. Technology use while walking was more frequent among males, individuals aged between 18 and 24, those with prior crash experience and in the trips after 4 pm. In addition, individual characteristics proved to pose a moderating effect on pedestrian technology use and its predictors. FoMO emerged to be a more significant predictor of males’ personality factors and their risky behaviour, while nomophobia, mindfulness, and self-identity were stronger predictors of females’ personality factors, technology use, and risky behaviour. The findings of this study contribute to increasing knowledge in the field of pedestrian safety and inform the development of targeted interventions aimed at mitigating risky behaviours and promoting safer urban environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"109 ","pages":"Pages 770-791"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143100240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The human driver remains responsible for automated system supervision despite such support systems. Therefore, long drives with partial automation can induce underload conditions, thereby increasing passive fatigue, impairing situational awareness (SA), and reducing response capacity. As a result, engaging in cognitively demanding tasks has been suggested as an underload countermeasure. The present study examined the acute and chronic effects of adding a Trivia-like Supplementary task as a cognitive non-driving-related task (NDRT) on mitigating driver’s underload and induced passive fatigue. Further, it assessed the impact of the Supplementary task engagement on drivers’ trust, attention and hazard perception (HP) during partially automated driving (PAD). Twenty-four participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (1) PAD with the Supplementary task and notifications of upcoming hazards or (2) PAD with notifications of upcoming hazards only. Participants experienced two forty-minute monotonous driving sessions, one week apart. Each driving session included four latent but unmaterialized hazardous scenarios. The mental workload was evaluated via objective and subjective methods, passive fatigue was measured using KSS and HP, and attention was assessed via gaze behavior analysis. Contrary to our initial literature-based assumption that driving under PAD without engaging with a Supplementary task would lead to underload, we found that under simulated driving conditions, this monitoring driving task leads to overload rather than underload. Thus, in contrast to our expectations, including a Supplementary task did not counteract mental underload, but rather it relieved the drivers from the primary monitoring task, leading to a reduction in cognitive workload, especially in chronic circumstances. Additionally, both experimental groups maintained high and similar HP performance. The findings suggest that including a Supplementary task and other human–machine interface (HMI), functionalities can modify drivers’ behavior and attention allocation strategies over time in various ways, stressing the crucial importance of a mindful systems design to ensure driver attentiveness across continued usage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"109 ","pages":"Pages 1451-1469"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143349913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To rectify this limitation, an on-road “think aloud” study was conducted with participants in the UK and supplemented by a video-cued retrospective interview using a shortened version of the Schema World Action Research Method. 175 decision points were then analysed using Neisser’s Perceptual Cycle Model, which highlights the relationships between the information perceived from the narrow passage environment, a driver’s schema, and the actions taken. It was found that drivers conduct four key assessments, including evaluating their interaction partner’s intention and the suitability of give way gaps on both sides of the road, when deciding what actions to take during a narrow passage interaction. These results provide a clearer understanding of how driver behaviour is influenced by different contextual/situational factors in a safety critical driving situation and helps ensure that future mathematical models better reflect driver decision-making during narrow passage interactions. This, in turn, can be used to ensure that autonomous vehicles are able to safely interact with human drivers at narrow passages and that microscopic traffic models are able to produce more accurate outputs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"109 ","pages":"Pages 1383-1401"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143206121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses this gap by examining how the configurational properties of the street network and the distribution of urban elements shape pedestrian route choice behaviour. Walking tasks and in-depth interviews were conducted in Poznań (Poland) with 18 participants. The 36 routes and their attributes were tracked using GPS devices, while the interviews provided insights into the participants’ decision-making processes and preferences. The analysis resulted in the definition of a taxonomy of pedestrian types based on their route choice behaviour. These types encompass various preferences and strategies, including prioritising comfort, rational decisions, spontaneity, reliance on landmarks, and environmental cues. Moreover, the analysis revealed variations in route's geometry, length, and predictability across the five types. Overall, our findings emphasise the multifaceted nature of pedestrian behaviour as influenced by a combination of “objective” environmental factors, subjective perceptions, and emergent dynamic factors. Elements like weather, crowds, traffic, noise, seasonality, and time of day emerged as additional but significant determinants of decisions. Finally, while green areas and landmarks did impact route choice behaviour, other more nuanced elements - such as paving patterns, storefronts, or prior experiences and memories - also played a role in shaping the participants’ routes, adding further uncertainty around pedestrian behavioural patterns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"109 ","pages":"Pages 1257-1274"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143099559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the availability of connected information, drivers might still face decision-making dilemmas that pose potential risks to traffic safety. To explore the impact of connected information in such interactive dilemmas on driving decisions and traffic operation, a video-based preemptive/yielding (P/Y) decision-making experiment involving 62 straight-going (SG) and 62 left-turning (LT) drivers was conducted under connected information provision. Recognizing the potential adverse effects on operational efficiency if both drivers choose to yield and the threat to traffic safety in scenarios where both opt for preemptive actions, the joint decisions made by SG and LT drivers were treated as response outcomes. Three interactive dilemmas conditions, the provision of turning information, and individual characteristics attributes were considered as explanatory variables. By developing a random regret minimization mixed multinomial logit model, this study examined the effects of connected information on joint decisions and their subsequent influence on potential traffic safety and operational efficiency. The findings indicate that (1) different dilemma conditions significantly influence joint decisions. The high probability of Y-Y and P-P joint decisions suggests that even with the availability of connected information, better driving decisions may not always be achieved. Notably, providing connected information in dilemma condition (2) (where the SG vehicle had a smaller speed but a closer distance to the intersection than the LT vehicle) increases the likelihood of heterogeneous Y-P joint decisions, thus benefiting overall traffic operations. (2) Turning information generally contributes to traffic operations by increasing Y-P joint decisions, yet it also exacerbates potentially hazardous interactions, marked by an increase in both sides choosing preemptive behaviors (P-P joint decisions). This emphasizes the need for traffic authorities to regulate left-turning vehicles’ turn signal usage. (3) Heterogeneous individual characteristics tend to lead to diverse joint decisions, particularly concerning penalty record, accident history, and driving skill. Surprisingly, the heterogeneity of education, income, and driving experience presents a higher probability of homogeneous joint decisions. Overall, this study contributes significantly to understanding the determinants influencing interactive driving decision-making under connected information provision, aiming to the advancement of more efficient and safer vehicle-connected transportation systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"109 ","pages":"Pages 320-335"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143099904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
