Choice of speed under compromised Dynamic Message Signs

Abstract

This study explores speed choice behavior of travelers under realistic and fabricated Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) content. Using web-based survey information of 4,302 participants collected by Amazon Mechanical Turk in the United States, we develop a set of multivariate latent-based ordered probit models participants. Results show female, African-Americans, drivers with a disability, elderly, and drivers who trust DMS are likely to comply with the fabricated messages. Drivers who comply with traffic regulations, have a good driving record, and live in rural areas, as well as female drivers are likely to slow down under fabricated messages. We highlight that calling or texting, taking picture, and tuning the radio are distracting activities leading drivers to slow down or stop under fictitious scenarios.

The Impact of Potentially Realistic Fabricated Road Sign Messages on Route Change

“…Current knowledge, however, is scarce on the route change response behavior of respondents to potentially realistic fabricated road sign messages with different content. This study is a natural continuation of previous research [14], [15], [16] and adds to the budding literature on drivers' response to road sign messages. We add to the existing literature by comprehending how and to what extent an adversary impacts the route change decision of drivers.…”

“…This means drivers, even with the knowledge of potential road sign message fabrication, are more likely to respond to the message when it disseminates a potentially realistic information. The reader is referred to [14], [15], [16] for an in-depth discussion on the descriptive of the data and behavioral responses to realistic and unrealistic fabricated road sign messages.…”

“…Existing research examines the self-reported (1) distraction and change in the speed of drivers when they come across "Work Zone Ends, Speed Limit 60 mph" fabricated message [14], (2) change in speed when they experience potentially realistic (e.g., Road Closure Due to Police Activity) and unrealistic (e.g., Zombies Ahead, Run) fabricated messages [15], and (3) distraction, change in speed, and change in route when they confront "Downtown Under Terrorist Attack" fabricated messages [16]. Current knowledge, however, is scarce on the route change response behavior of respondents to potentially realistic fabricated road sign messages with different content.…”

Construction of systemic interaction between tools of remote monitoring of the technical condition and operation modes of a truck vehicle

“…It is received by technical services late [11][12][13][14], most often after the end of the route. It is after the completion of the route that the transport company has the opportunity to check compliance with the conditions of DWRR and analyze its impact on vehicle technical condition [15][16][17][18]. Therefore, in the practice of operation of freight vehicles, there is a need to provide remote monitoring and analysis of the impact of changes in DPC, DWRR on the technical condition of vehicles [19][20][21].…”
