Analysis and prediction models for operating speed of vehicles in expressway superlong tunnels based on geometric and traffic related parameters

Visual Recognition Analysis of Optically Long Tunnels: Interaction of Dynamic Vision and Visual Perception

“…Research has shown that biased perception is closely related to traffic accidents, while the unbiased perception of a tunnel profile is a basic guarantee of traffic operation and traffic safety ( 12 , 13 ), especially in tunnels ( 14 ). Although previous attempts exist in the literature to accumulate knowledge concerning the relation between the geometric design of the tunnel and the safety-related indices ( 15 – 17 ), no studies have examined such an association in optimally long tunnels. The aim of this study, therefore, is to contribute to the stream of work on understanding the visual recognition of drivers in the exit area of optically long tunnels by collecting data in the field.…”
