“…In the previous IDS study older drivers (age 55+) had lower comprehension for all the prototype sign concepts when compared to the younger age group (18-40) (Creaser et al, 2007). In the current study, a clear age effect emerged for older drivers in the Do Not Cross/Turn Left state in Experiment 2.…”

“…The Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance System-Stop Sign Assist (CICAS-SSA) is an infrastructure-based driver support system to improve gap acceptance at rural stop-controlled intersections (Laberge, Creaser, Rakauskas & Ward, 2006;Creaser, Rakauskas, Ward, Laberge & Donath, 2007). The SSA tracks vehicle locations on the major road and displays information about approaching traffic to the driver on the minor road.…”

Summary: This study describes two usability methods that were used to determine the final design of a prototype dynamic traffic sign. The Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance System-Stop Sign Assist (CICAS-SSA) is an infrastructure-based driver support system to improve gap acceptance at rural stop-controlled intersections. This study evaluated drivers' comprehension of recommended design changes made to the SSA message set using paper-andpencil and computerized testing. The goal was to choose the final interface design that would later be tested using driving simulation. Overall, comprehension was highest for sign messages that showed prohibitive information and was lowest for signs indicating no traffic was detected near the intersection. The results for the design options were similar between studies, allowing for the selection of a final set of design features for the interface. Results also suggest that the two methodologies provided a low-cost alternative to simulation for down-selecting the design options.

“…Creaser et al (2006) performed an analysis of the effective of such systems on driver gap-acceptance behaviour at rural intersections in the US. They found that signage providing detailed gap information (i.e., time-to-arrival values, warning levels for gaps) resulted in the best performance among older drivers, as opposed to signage that did not provide specific gap-related information (i.e., only detected vehicles approaching, but not safety of gap).…”

“…It is widely accepted that older drivers find the task of junction negotiation difficult (Breker, et al 2003;Creaser, Rakauskas, Ward, Laberge, & Donath, 2006), are prone to driving errors at junctions (Anstey & Wood, 2011;Boufous et al, 2008), and are over represented in high injury severity collisions at junctions (Langford & Koppel, 2006;Clarke et al, 2010), particularly at junctions intersecting roads with high speed limits (Baldock & McLean, 2005;IAM, 2010). In particular, older drivers experience problems turning right at junctions (left in countries where driving is on the right) and are typically involved in right turn (cross flow), 'failure to yield' collisions (McGwin & Brown, 1999;IAM 2010).…”

Older drivers and young novice drivers have problems negotiating road junctions and this is reflected in the accident statistics for these driver populations. Explanations for problems with junction negotiation largely focus on limitations in visual information processing and observation errors associated with age and experience. Investigations of drivers viewing behaviour have used measures of fixation and gaze frequency and duration to highlight drivers information processing and search, capacity and requirements. The use of more specific measures of search strategy, such as gaze transitions, has been less common, particularly for the task of gap selection in junction negotiation. Gaze transitions provide information on the positional relationship of fixations, providing a useful tool for highlighting gaps in driver's visual information acquisition strategies. The gaze transitions of three driver groups (young novice, young experienced and older experienced) were compared during gap selection in right turn junction negotiation manoeuvres. When scanning the junction, young experienced drivers distributed their gaze more evenly across all areas, whereas older and novice drivers made more sweeping transitions, bypassing adjacent areas. The use of a preview strategy in the decision phase was less evident in the older experienced group compared to the younger groups. It is suggested that response preparation requirements of the decision phase impact on older drivers' ability to maintain a preview strategy. The application of results to driver training interventions and future research are discussed. .
