“…Research in real-world (Clarke, Ward, & Jones, 1998;Wilson & Best, 1982) and laboratory (Gordon & Mast, 1970;Gray & Regan, 2005) conditions suggests that 14% to 68% of overtaking accidents are due to errors that occur during the Start phase when drivers judge whether to perform an overtaking maneuver. One of the aims of this study is to better understand the process underlying both the selection of an overtaking maneuver and its regulation.…”

International audienceWhen an automobile driver overtakes a lead vehicle while avoiding oncoming traffic, does he or she do so with reference to the limits of his or her car? We investigated overtaking from the perspective of the theory of affordances. We define the overtake-ability affordance as a ratio of the minimum satisfying velocity required for safe overtaking (MSV) to the maximum velocity of the driver's car (V-max). Two groups of participants performed overtaking maneuvers, if deemed possible, by driving either a slow (V-max=25m/s) or a fast (V-max=32.5m/s) virtual car in overtaking situations constrained by 14 values of MSV. For any given MSV condition, participants in the fast car group were more likely to attempt an overtaking maneuver. However, when MSV was expressed in intrinsic units as a ratio of V-max for both groups, the frequency of overtaking was not significantly different across groups. Furthermore, overtaking frequency dropped to near 0% for both groups when MSV exceeded V-max. In accordance with the affordance-based framework (Fajen, 2007), our results suggest that participants select their overtaking maneuvers by perceiving an overtake-ability affordance

“…Moreover, interviews with drivers who had been involved in head-on collisions revealed that "they picture the manoeuvre as putting them slightly ahead of the overtaken vehicle's initial position". Thus as the authors note "they seem to imagine the overtaking of a moving vehicle, in terms of the time and distance needed to overtake a stationary one" (Clarke, Ward & Jones, 1998, 465 (Wilson & Best, 1982). In this study, a number of overtaking strategies were identified (i.e.…”

“…The normal strategy in overtaking is mostly used by the driver [25], [26]. The strategy can be divided into approaching, tailgating, lane changing, passing, and lane returning.…”
