Hazard perception of motorcyclists and car drivers

Risco de lesões em motociclistas nas ocorrências de trânsito

“…Na onal and interna onal studies (15)(16) have related the occurrence of traffi c accidents and the resul ng deaths of motorcyclists to vehicle age, length of me holding a valid license, day of the week, month and residence loca on, with a view to analyzing the motorcycle driver's familiarity with the accident loca on. In this present study, these variables were not associated with studies that demonstrated the condi ons that enhance the risk of traffi c accidents or fatali es and are not similar to those that enhance the probability of suff ering an injury in a traffi c accident involving a motorcycle.…”

“…The main factor in this type of accident is the diffi culty of the driver of the other vehicle to see the motorcycle in me to prevent a collision. The motorcycle has a small front end and, for this reason, it is more diffi cult to see by drivers of other vehicles, who may not no ce its proximity (16) .…”

“…In motorcycle accidents, falls from motorcycles, in addi on to collisions, present increasing frequency (16) . In this present study, this type of accident was seen more o en in the group of injured motorcyclists than in the group with no injuries.…”

How does a collision warning system shape driver's brake response time? The influence of expectancy and automation complacency on real-life emergency braking

“…Psychologist and physiologist have measured the difference of RT as function of physiological variables such as the duration and intensity of the signals (Froeberg, 1907;Hsieh et al, 2007), as well as methodological variables such as simple vs. recognition vs. choice experiment (Donders, 1869;O'Shea and Bashore, 2012). Brake reaction time (BRT) is considered a multicomponent cognitive skill (Deery, 1999), susceptible to driving experience (Crundall et al, 1999;Horswill and McKenna, 2004), subjective risk perception and emotional evaluation of the driving situation (Kiss et al, 2007;Rosenbloom et al, 2011) and dependent on driver's expectations. Expectancy seems to be the variable that is best to be able to explain most of the variance of the RT variability (Koustanaï et al, 2008).…”

Drivers' Attitudes and Behaviors Toward Bicyclists: Intermodal Interactions and Implications for Road Safety

“…In another study, experience as a motorcyclist improved drivers' hazard perception, although it was not known whether motorcyclist-drivers were better at perceiving hazards via visual processing or whether they had an improved mental model about the type of hazards that a driver might encounter related to motorcyclists (Rosenbloom, Perlman, & Pereg, 2011). While motorcycling and bicycling have some significant differences (e.g.…”
