Dangerous driving behaviors have been shown to be the main reason for vehicle crashes, especially among young drivers. Although research has focused on psychological determinants of dangerous driving behavior in recent years, social and interpersonal factors have had limited attention in the literature. Combining quantitative (i.e., multiple hierarchical regression) and qualitative (i.e., thematic analysis) methods, this study investigates the effects of responsibility and social intelligence on dangerous driving behavior among young drivers. A total of 404 US drivers aged 18–35 participated in this study and completed an online survey that included demographic questions, the Dula Dangerous Driving Index (DDDI), Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS), Responsibility Questionnaire (RQ), and open-ended questions. The quantitative results indicated that higher social awareness, social skill, personal responsibility, and social responsibility are correlated with less frequent dangerous driving behavior. Also, young drivers with higher social awareness engaged in less frequent dangerous driving and negative cognitive/emotional driving. Furthermore, higher social skill resulted in less frequent negative cognitive/emotional driving. Higher personal responsibility led into less frequent negative cognitive/emotional driving, while higher social responsibility showed an opposite impact. The qualitative results showed that responsibility and understanding and perceiving others’ choices and perspectives have a noticeable role in preventing dangerous driving behavior. Incorporating responsibility and social intelligence into the development of driving education programs and driver assessment methods may reduce dangerous driving behaviors. Also, the findings can be useful for the revision of driving behavior categories and/or development of a new driving behavior measurement that includes responsibility and social intelligence.

危险的驾驶行为已被证明是交通事故的主要原因，尤其是在年轻司机中。尽管近年来的研究主要集中在危险驾驶行为的心理决定因素上，但文献中对社会和人际因素的关注有限。本研究结合定量（即多元层次回归）和定性（即专题分析）方法，探讨了责任和社会智力对青年驾驶员危险驾驶行为的影响。共有404名年龄在18-35岁之间的美国司机参与了这项研究，并完成了一项在线调查，包括人口统计问题、杜拉危险驾驶指数（DDDI）、特罗姆索社会智力量表（TSIS）、责任问卷（RQ）和开放式问题。定量结果表明，较高的社会意识、社会技能、个人责任感和社会责任感与较低的危险驾驶行为发生率相关。此外，社会意识较高的年轻司机危险驾驶和负性认知/情绪驾驶的频率较低。此外，较高的社交技能导致较少的负面认知/情绪驱动。更高的个人责任导致更少的负面认知/情绪驱动，而更高的社会责任则表现出相反的影响。定性结果表明，责任、理解和感知他人的选择和观点对预防危险驾驶行为有显著的作用。将责任感和社会智能纳入驾驶教育课程和驾驶员评估方法的制定中，可以减少危险驾驶行为。此外，研究结果可以用于修订驾驶行为类别和/或开发一种新的驾驶行为测量方法，包括责任和社会智力。

In the context of the information technology revolution and the vigorous development of the digital economy, the so-called new business form has emerged, with the ride-hailing industry becoming a paradigmatic example of this transformation in China. Previous research has concentrated on attributing responsibility when the responsible party is identifiable; however, this approach overlooks variations in workers’ subjective attributions when the responsible party is not clear. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the impacts of group heterogeneity and subjective and objective factors on these variations in subjective attribution. Applying attribution theory (AT), this study systematically analysed the results through a cluster analysis of a sample comprising 696 ride-hailing drivers. The analysis revealed significant group heterogeneity in the drivers’ subjective attributions, which could be categorised into five distinct groups. Furthermore, job satisfaction, organisational commitment and psychological pressure significantly influenced the subjective attributions of occupational injuries. Additionally, significant differences in attribution patterns were observed amongst the different groups. This study contributes to the expansion of the application of AT by revealing how different factors shape the attribution process. Finally, recommendations are provided for platforms, governments and drivers, focusing on implementing mental health management, reducing self-blame through organisational support and tailoring interventions to group heterogeneity to improve occupational injury prevention and rights protection.

在信息技术革命和数字经济蓬勃发展的背景下，所谓的新业态出现了，网约车行业成为中国这种转型的典范。以往的研究主要集中在责任方可识别的情况下的责任归属；然而，这种方法忽略了在责任方不明确的情况下，工人主观归因的变化。本研究旨在探讨群体异质性和主客观因素对这些主观归因变化的影响，以解决这一差距。本研究运用归因理论（AT），对696名网约车司机样本进行聚类分析。分析表明，驾驶员主观归因存在显著的群体异质性，可分为五个不同的群体。此外，工作满意度、组织承诺和心理压力对职业伤害主观归因有显著影响。此外，不同群体的归因模式也存在显著差异。本研究揭示了不同因素对归因过程的影响，有助于拓展归因的应用范围。最后，为平台、政府和司机提供了建议，重点是实施心理健康管理，通过组织支持减少自责，并根据群体异质性调整干预措施，以改善职业伤害预防和权利保护。

Driver fatigue has long been recognized as an important cause of road crashes. However, official road crash statistics based on police reports underestimate its prevalence. The enforcement of laws regarding driver fatigue is difficult because no validated and reliable device exists to measure fatigue/sleepiness levels. This study examined driver fatigue in Croatia, focusing on its recognition in law, crash reporting, and enforcement. It aimed to quantify fatigue-related crashes and assess traffic police perspectives on the issue. We used three data sources: (1) national road crash data from 2009 to 2018, (2) a survey of Croatian traffic police officers (n = 1037) using a modified Finnish questionnaire, and (3) Ministry of the Interior records on drivers penalized under article that addresses driver’s fitness to drive including driver fatigue (2013–2023). The results show that driver fatigue was noted in fewer than one percent of crashes recorded in the national database, even for those that resulted in fatality. Punishing drivers based on their fatigue also appears to be rare. These numbers seem understandable considering Croatian traffic police officers’ reports of the difficulties they face in recognizing driver fatigue and prosecuting drivers on that basis. However, traffic police officers are aware of the dangers of driver fatigue. Conclusions. Challenges remain as to how to utilize the traffic police force in the detection of fatigued drivers on roads, recognize the role of fatigue in crash causation, and effectively enforce driver fatigue laws.

司机疲劳一直被认为是道路交通事故的一个重要原因。然而，基于警方报告的官方道路交通事故统计数据低估了其流行程度。关于司机疲劳的法律的执行是困难的，因为没有有效和可靠的设备来测量疲劳/困倦水平。这项研究调查了克罗地亚的司机疲劳，重点关注其在法律、事故报告和执法方面的认识。该研究旨在量化与疲劳相关的交通事故，并评估交警对这一问题的看法。我们使用了三个数据来源：(1)2009年至2018年的全国道路交通事故数据，(2)对克罗地亚交通警察的调查（n = 1037），使用修改后的芬兰问卷，以及(3)内政部关于驾驶员驾驶健康（包括驾驶员疲劳）的处罚记录（2013-2023）。结果显示，在国家数据库记录的撞车事故中，即使是那些导致死亡的事故，驾驶员疲劳的情况也不到1%。以疲劳为由惩罚司机的情况似乎也很少见。这些数字似乎可以理解，因为克罗地亚交通警察报告说，他们在识别驾驶员疲劳和据此起诉驾驶员方面遇到困难。然而，交警意识到司机疲劳的危险。结论。如何利用交通警察力量来检测道路上的疲劳驾驶员，认识到疲劳在事故原因中的作用，并有效地执行驾驶员疲劳法，仍然是挑战。

Background

Understanding pedestrian attention allocation is critical for enhancing safety at intersections and informing the design of safer pedestrian crossings.

Objectives

We investigate the effects of various factors (individual, environmental, and situational) on pedestrian attention allocation, specifically focusing on two indicators: ‘immediate surrounding attention allocation’ (ISAA), which emphasizes efficient navigation, and ‘safety attention allocation’ (SAA), which highlights adherence to safety measures. Additionally, the study evaluated the effectiveness of the pedestrian behavior questionnaire (PBQ) in assessing how pedestrians allocate their attention.

Methods

The study recruited 198 participants from various demographic groups. A virtual reality (VR) walking simulator with varying weather conditions was used, and eye-tracking recorded visual attention. Participants completed simulated street crossings under different conditions. Data were analyzed using statistical tests and structural equation modeling (SEM) to assess factors influencing pedestrian attention.

Findings

The results indicated that adverse weather conditions and time pressure significantly impaired pedestrian attention before and during street crossings. Specifically, hot weather led to increased ISAA. In contrast, rainy and cold conditions negatively affected SAA. Additionally, males exhibited greater attention to traffic settings compared to females, and prior crash experience enhanced cautious pedestrian behavior. The PBQ effectively predicted pedestrian SAA and accounted for the impact of individual characteristics on alertness to safety hazards before crossing the street. As expected, PBQ has fallen short of addressing participants’ ISAA before crossing and individuals’ attention allocation while crossing the street. The findings suggest actionable strategies for improving pedestrian attention and safety through targeted interventions.

了解行人的注意力分配对于提高十字路口的安全性和设计更安全的人行横道至关重要。我们研究了各种因素（个人、环境和情境）对行人注意力分配的影响，特别关注两个指标：“即时周围注意力分配”（ISAA），强调有效的导航，以及“安全注意力分配”（SAA），强调遵守安全措施。此外，本研究还评估了行人行为问卷（PBQ）在评估行人如何分配注意力方面的有效性。方法本研究从不同人群中招募了198名参与者。在不同天气条件下使用虚拟现实（VR）行走模拟器，眼球追踪记录视觉注意力。参与者在不同条件下完成模拟过马路。采用统计检验和结构方程模型（SEM）对影响行人注意力的因素进行分析。研究结果表明，恶劣的天气条件和时间压力显著影响行人在过马路前和过马路时的注意力。具体来说，炎热天气导致ISAA增加。相比之下，多雨和寒冷条件对SAA有不利影响。此外，与女性相比，男性对交通环境表现出更大的关注，之前的碰撞经历增强了谨慎的行人行为。PBQ能有效预测行人的SAA，并解释了个体特征对过马路前安全危险警觉性的影响。正如预期的那样，PBQ在解决参与者过马路前的ISAA和个人过马路时的注意力分配方面存在不足。研究结果为通过有针对性的干预措施提高行人的注意力和安全性提供了可行的策略。

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS; Level 2 vehicle automation) are increasingly common in vehicles. Although these systems are designed to enhance driving comfort and safety, their capabilities and limitations are often misjudged, potentially creating new traffic risks. While drivers’ misunderstanding and overreliance on ADAS have been implicated in several high-profile accidents, insufficient empirical research has examined how such misconceptions relate to unsafe driving behaviors. In a pre-registered survey of 130 Tesla Autopilot users in China, we measured users’ underestimation and overestimation of Autopilot’s capabilities and their operational knowledge regarding the use of Autopilot’s key functions. Participants were more likely to overestimate than underestimate Autopilot’s capabilities, with mean accuracies of about 40 % and 70 %, respectively. Neither misconception was associated with self-reported engagement in non-driving-related activities (e.g., eating and sleeping) while using ADAS. Participants did not show sufficient operational knowledge, with mean accuracy below 75 %. Operational knowledge was positively correlated with intentions to engage in common non-driving-related activities such as eating (r = 0.25, p = 0.004), but not with intentions to sleep (r = − 0.10, p = 0.235). In addition, their propensity to trust machines (a trait-like tendency) was positively correlated with intentions to engage in both common non-driving-related activities (r = 0.28, p = 0.002) and sleeping (r = 0.30, p < 0.001). We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings, particularly in relation to driver education and training that foster appropriate understanding and use of ADAS.

高级驾驶辅助系统（ADAS, Level 2 vehicle automation）在汽车中越来越普遍。尽管这些系统旨在提高驾驶舒适性和安全性，但它们的能力和局限性往往被误判，可能会带来新的交通风险。虽然驾驶员对ADAS系统的误解和过度依赖与几起引人注目的事故有关，但没有足够的实证研究来检验这种误解与不安全驾驶行为之间的关系。在对中国130名特斯拉自动驾驶仪用户的预注册调查中，我们测量了用户对自动驾驶仪功能的低估和高估，以及他们对自动驾驶仪关键功能使用的操作知识。参与者更有可能高估而不是低估Autopilot的能力，平均准确率分别约为40%和70%。这两种误解都与使用ADAS时自我报告的非驾驶相关活动（如吃饭和睡觉）有关。参与者没有表现出足够的操作知识，平均准确率低于75%。操作知识与参与常见非驾驶相关活动（如进食）的意愿呈正相关（r = 0.25, p = 0.004），但与睡眠意愿无关（r = - 0.10, p = 0.235）。此外，他们信任机器的倾向（一种类似特质的倾向）与参与与驾驶无关的常见活动（r = 0.28, p = 0.002）和睡眠（r = 0.30, p < 0.001）的意愿呈正相关。我们讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义，特别是与驾驶员教育和培训有关，以促进对ADAS的适当理解和使用。

With increasing numbers of partially and conditionally autonomous vehicles (i.e., levels L2 to L3) on the roads, altered driver states such as inattention or drowsiness at the wheel may be exacerbated. This new way of driving will, however, make the indicators traditionally used to detect altered states less relevant. New detection methods using other indicators, such as physiological and postural indicators, could be a solution. In this study, 21 participants drove on motorways in a dual control vehicle at two levels of automation (L2+ and L3). Seat pressure and physiological (i.e., cardiac and respiratory) indicators were continuously recorded and state of drowsiness was classified according to PERCLOS70. In defined states of drowsiness, different physiological and postural characteristics were identified. Results show that postural indicators are more sensitive to level of automation than physiological indicators, suggesting that posture may reflect behavior associated with a particular level of autonomous driving. This suggestion is supported by subjective feelings elicited from the drivers. The multiple postures observed to be associated with deep drowsiness (or falling asleep) point to inter-individual postural variability. Postural information could therefore reflect both active behavior and drowsiness, whereas physiological information appears only to reflect drowsiness. This study demonstrates the value of using such measurements jointly to detect drowsiness at the wheel.

随着道路上部分自动驾驶和有条件自动驾驶汽车（即L2至L3级）数量的增加，驾驶状态的改变（如驾驶时注意力不集中或困倦）可能会加剧。然而，这种新的驾驶方式将使传统上用于检测状态变化的指标变得不那么重要。使用其他指标的新检测方法，如生理和姿势指标，可能是一种解决方案。在这项研究中，21名参与者驾驶双控车辆在高速公路上驾驶两种自动化水平（L2+和L3）。连续记录座椅压力和生理（即心脏和呼吸）指标，并根据PERCLOS70对困倦状态进行分类。在定义的困倦状态中，确定了不同的生理和姿势特征。结果表明，姿势指标比生理指标对自动化水平更敏感，这表明姿势可能反映了与特定水平的自动驾驶相关的行为。这一建议得到了来自司机的主观感受的支持。观察到的与深度嗜睡（或入睡）相关的多种姿势表明个体之间的姿势可变性。因此，姿势信息可以同时反映活跃行为和困倦，而生理信息似乎只反映困倦。这项研究证明了联合使用这些测量方法来检测开车时困倦的价值。

This study demonstrates the value of using such measurements jointly to detect drowsiness at the wheel.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48355,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part F-Traffic Psychology and Behaviour","volume":"116 ","pages":"Article 103444"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145520190","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}

Urban Air Transportation (UAT) provides a promising remedy for urban congestion, improving travel efficiency and mitigating environmental effects. This research expands the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) by integrating trust (TR) and perceived risk (PR) to identify both facilitating and obstructive elements in UAT acceptance. Survey data from 184 respondents were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that performance expectancy (PE) is the most significant positive predictor of usage intention (UI), succeeded by effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), and price value (PV). Conversely, hedonic motivation (HM) is non-significant, highlighting the utilitarian essence of UAT. PR significantly diminishes UI both directly and indirectly by undermining TR, which partially mediates the PR–UI relationship. Some useful tips are to put functional design first, spend money on safety certifications and privacy protections, use social influence, and improve pricing strategies. Policy implications underscore the necessity of standardizing safety and privacy metrics while promoting international collaboration to cultivate social consensus. This research enhances transportation psychology by substantiating the mediating function of trust in the PR–UI relationship and providing a comprehensive framework that considers both facilitators and barriers to adoption.

城市航空运输（UAT）为缓解城市拥堵、提高出行效率和减轻环境影响提供了一种有希望的方法。本研究通过整合信任（TR）和感知风险（PR），扩展了技术接受与使用统一理论（UTAUT2），以确定技术接受的促进因素和阻碍因素。184名受访者的调查数据采用结构方程模型进行分析。结果表明，绩效期望（PE）是使用意向（UI）的最显著正向预测因子，其次是努力期望（EE）、社会影响（SI）和价格价值（PV）。相反，享乐动机（HM）不显著，凸显了UAT的功利性本质。PR通过破坏TR直接或间接地显著降低UI，而TR在一定程度上介导了PR - UI关系。一些有用的建议是把功能设计放在第一位，在安全认证和隐私保护上花钱，利用社会影响力，改进定价策略。政策影响强调了在促进国际合作以培养社会共识的同时标准化安全和隐私指标的必要性。本研究通过证实信任在PR-UI关系中的中介作用，并提供一个综合的框架来考虑采用的促进因素和障碍，从而增强了运输心理。

Motorcycle taxi riders (MTRs) are a disproportionately high-risk occupational group for road traffic crashes (RTCs) and injuries (RTIs), raising significant public health, social, and economic concerns in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This review is the first PRISMA-compliant synthesis focused exclusively on MTRs, distinguishing them from commuters or delivery riders. It synthesizes evidence on reported crashes, risk factors, behavioral determinants of risky riding, and safety interventions. A PRISMA-compliant search across four databases yielded 651 articles, of which 56 met the inclusion criteria. Reported crash rates varied between 25.8 % and 78.6 %, with common injuries including fractures, head trauma, and soft-tissue damage. The main risk factors were speeding, alcohol and substance use, mobile phone distractions, and non-use of helmets, often exacerbated by demographic pressures such as youth, low income, and limited education. While most included studies were conducted in Africa, research from South Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam) highlights risky motorcycling. However, it rarely isolates MTRs, underscoring a persistent geographic and occupational gap. Effective interventions included a Nigerian health education program that raised safety awareness from 21 % to 82 % and Uganda’s SafeBoda initiative, which reduced crashes by 39 %. The evidence underscores the urgent need for tailored interventions that combine rider education, behavior change strategies, protective gear, enforcement, and policies addressing income insecurity and informality. These efforts are crucial not only for reducing morbidity and mortality but also for limiting wider socioeconomic costs in LMICs.

摩托车出租车司机是道路交通碰撞和伤害的高危职业群体，在低收入和中等收入国家引起了重大的公共卫生、社会和经济问题。这篇综述是第一个符合prisma标准的综合研究，专门针对mtr，将它们与通勤者或送货乘客区分开来。它综合了报告的碰撞、风险因素、危险骑行的行为决定因素和安全干预措施的证据。在四个数据库中进行符合prisma标准的搜索，得到651篇文章，其中56篇符合纳入标准。报道的碰撞率在25.8%到78.6%之间，常见的损伤包括骨折、头部创伤和软组织损伤。主要风险因素是超速、酒精和药物使用、移动电话干扰和不使用头盔，这些因素往往因青年、低收入和受教育程度有限等人口压力而加剧。虽然大多数纳入的研究是在非洲进行的，但来自南亚（巴基斯坦、印度、孟加拉国、越南）的研究强调了骑摩托车的危险性。然而，它很少孤立中毒者，强调了持续存在的地理和职业差距。有效的干预措施包括尼日利亚的健康教育计划，该计划将安全意识从21%提高到82%，乌干达的SafeBoda倡议将车祸减少了39%。证据强调，迫切需要有针对性的干预措施，将骑手教育、行为改变战略、防护装备、执法以及解决收入不安全和不规范问题的政策结合起来。这些努力不仅对降低发病率和死亡率至关重要，而且对限制中低收入国家更广泛的社会经济成本也至关重要。

The merging process of vehicles moving from the on-ramp to the right lane of a highway is quite critical at interchanges for both safety and operational efficiency. Several studies have emphasized the importance of merging zones at interchanges, identifying them as major sites of conflicts between passing and entering vehicles. Incorrect assessment of gaps and precedence in these zones can result in serious collisions and traffic disruptions at interchanges. This study looks at how effective Augmented Reality (AR) solutions in a connected environment are in improving safety at merging zones, helping drivers keep a safe distance from vehicles entering the highway from on-ramps. In a driving simulation study, four different safety measures are evaluated: i) a vehicle-to-vehicle spacing measurement support, which integrates a Variable Message Signs panel (VMS) with a new type of road pavement marking; ii) a Head-Up Display (HUD) that projects a static symbol onto the vehicle windshield, advising the driver to maintain a safe distance from the entering vehicle; iii) a connected vehicle system that integrates AR technology consisting of a dynamic symbol on the road surface, which provides the driver with additional visual cues about the actual longitudinal distance from the entering vehicle; iv) the same AR-based system with an additional audible warning. The driving behavior of forty-four participants in four different configurations with the safety measures was compared with their behavior in a configuration without any measures (baseline condition). The results demonstrated a significant positive impact from all tested measures, with the most effective solution being AR systems, which demonstrated the ability to assist drivers in adjusting their distance from the entering vehicles. This study confirms the high potentialities of AR technologies and connected vehicles in enhancing the overall safety of road networks, particularly in high-risk scenarios and challenging maneuvers.

在高速公路的立交中，车辆从匝道进入右车道的合并过程对安全性和运行效率都至关重要。有几项研究强调了在立交处合并区域的重要性，认为它们是进出车辆发生冲突的主要场所。对这些区域的间隙和优先级的错误评估可能导致严重的碰撞和交汇处的交通中断。这项研究着眼于增强现实（AR）解决方案在互联环境中如何有效地提高合并区的安全性，帮助驾驶员与从匝道进入高速公路的车辆保持安全距离。在驾驶模拟研究中，评估了四种不同的安全措施：i)将可变信息标志面板（VMS）与新型道路路面标记集成在一起的车对车间距测量支持；ii)在车辆挡风玻璃上投射静态符号的平视显示器（HUD），建议驾驶员与驶入的车辆保持安全距离；iii)集成AR技术的联网车辆系统，该系统由路面上的动态符号组成，为驾驶员提供有关与驶入车辆实际纵向距离的额外视觉提示；iv)同样的基于ar的系统，附带一个额外的声音警告。对44名被试在4种不同安全措施配置下的驾驶行为与无安全措施配置（基线条件）下的驾驶行为进行比较。结果表明，所有测试措施都产生了显著的积极影响，其中最有效的解决方案是AR系统，它能够帮助驾驶员调整与驶入车辆的距离。这项研究证实了AR技术和联网车辆在提高道路网络整体安全性方面的巨大潜力，特别是在高风险场景和具有挑战性的操作中。

As automated vehicles (AVs) technology advances, the deployment of AVs creates a mixed traffic environment in which human-driven vehicles (HVs) and AVs interact and coexist on the roads. This study investigated the effects of AVs’ automated driving styles on HV drivers’ decision-making, driving performance, and subjective evaluation while considering the manual driving styles of HV drivers. Thirty-six drivers participated in a driving simulator experiment, interacting with aggressive and defensive AVs in two separate blocks and experiencing four driving scenarios in each block. The results indicated that drivers with more aggressive driving styles tend to make less aggressive decisions when interacting with aggressive AVs compared to defensive AVs. In contrast, the decision-making of drivers with more defensive driving styles was not significantly influenced by AVs’ driving styles with which they interacted in mixed traffic. Regarding driving performance, all drivers demonstrated less aggressive behaviors when interacting with aggressive AVs than with defensive AVs, as reflected in longer time-to-collision (TTC). Additionally, human drivers reported lower trust and perceived higher risk when interacting with defensive AVs compared to aggressive AVs, with this effect varying based on their driving styles. These insights are crucial in informing the development of AV algorithms and establishing robust traffic regulations to enhance safe interactions between human drivers and AVs in mixed-traffic environments.

随着自动驾驶汽车（AVs）技术的进步，自动驾驶汽车的部署创造了一个混合交通环境，在这个环境中，人类驾驶的车辆（HVs）和自动驾驶汽车在道路上相互作用并共存。本研究在考虑HV驾驶员手动驾驶风格的情况下，考察自动驾驶汽车自动驾驶风格对HV驾驶员决策、驾驶绩效和主观评价的影响。36名驾驶员参加了驾驶模拟器实验，在两个独立的街区与攻击性和防御性自动驾驶汽车互动，并在每个街区体验四种驾驶场景。结果表明，与防御性自动驾驶汽车相比，攻击性驾驶风格越强的驾驶员在与攻击性自动驾驶汽车互动时，做出的攻击性决策越少。而在混合交通中，防御性驾驶风格较强的驾驶员的决策不受与自动驾驶汽车互动的驾驶风格的显著影响。在驾驶表现方面，所有驾驶员在与进攻型自动驾驶汽车互动时的攻击性行为都低于与防御型自动驾驶汽车互动时的攻击性行为，这体现在较长的碰撞时间（TTC）上。此外，与攻击性自动驾驶汽车相比，人类司机在与防御性自动驾驶汽车互动时，信任度较低，感知到的风险更高，这种影响因驾驶风格而异。这些见解对于自动驾驶算法的开发和建立健全的交通法规至关重要，以加强混合交通环境中人类驾驶员和自动驾驶汽车之间的安全互动。
