A Study On Effect Of Information From Navigation System On Driving Behavior, Mio Suzuki, Shota Moriya Jan 2024

A Study On Effect Of Information From Navigation System On Driving Behavior, Mio Suzuki, Shota Moriya

Kentucky Transportation Center Presentations

In recent years, navigation services using smartphone applications have become common, and while the number of users is increasing, accidents and violations have begun to occur due to drivers being so focused on obtaining information that they cannot see their surroundings or the information itself is incorrect. Therefore, this study focuses on the fact that stress on drivers caused by such guidance can also be a cause of accidents, and aims to understand the understandability of information and driving behavior of navigation systems and stress by using a driving simulator. From the questionnaire survey by the users, it was found …


An Exploratory Analysis Of Fatal Vehicle Crashes In Urban And Rural Kansas In Relation To Identified Golder Hour Gaps In Hospital Coverage, Mason W. Lipford, Grace N. Whisler Lipford, Gregory L. Newmark, Eric J. Fitzsimmons Jan 2024

An Exploratory Analysis Of Fatal Vehicle Crashes In Urban And Rural Kansas In Relation To Identified Golder Hour Gaps In Hospital Coverage, Mason W. Lipford, Grace N. Whisler Lipford, Gregory L. Newmark, Eric J. Fitzsimmons

Kentucky Transportation Center Presentations

The state of Kansas is a relatively rural state with a majority of highway/interstate miles through farmland and low populated areas. These rural areas can be hot spots for crashes to occur and the lack of hospitals and emergency response nearby can make these types of crashes turn deadly. Few studies have been done on this topic especially for the state of Kansas. As the Department of Transportation is pushing to the “Drive to Zero” goal, pinpointing the harmful factors to indicate where improvements are needed to reduce the number, and severity of crashes is an important first step. Using …


Analyses And Reconstructions Of Crash Scenarios For Class 8, Long-Haul Trucks, Monish Dev Sudhakhar, Rohan Khaire, Jeffrey Wishart, Yan Chen Jan 2024

Analyses And Reconstructions Of Crash Scenarios For Class 8, Long-Haul Trucks, Monish Dev Sudhakhar, Rohan Khaire, Jeffrey Wishart, Yan Chen

Kentucky Transportation Center Presentations

Knowledge and analysis of crash scenarios from naturalistic driving data can provide insight into the causes of crashes and thus motivate or benefit the future design of automated driving systems (ADSs). The circumstances commonly resulting in crashes for human-driven, light-duty vehicles were previously compiled into the 37 pre-crash scenarios by NHTSA [1]. However, crash analyses and reconstructions for Class 8 long-haul trucks have not yet been explored in the literature. The Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS) database has been used as the crash data source for compiling a dataset containing details on a nationally representative sample of thousands of heavy-duty …


Geodatabase And Automation Code Used For Past And Real-Time Dynamic Landslide Hazard Maps In Eastern Kentucky, Nathaniel O'Leary, L. Sebastian Bryson, Jason M. Dortch Jan 2024

Geodatabase And Automation Code Used For Past And Real-Time Dynamic Landslide Hazard Maps In Eastern Kentucky, Nathaniel O'Leary, L. Sebastian Bryson, Jason M. Dortch

Earth and Environmental Sciences Research Data

We developed spatiotemporal landslide hazard maps (LHMs) using soil, hydrologic, and geomorphic parameters from the subaerial infinite slope factor of safety (FS) equation under unsaturated conditions. Soil properties were sourced from the NRCS WSS, while geomorphic variables were derived from a 1.5 m LiDAR-based DEM and ArcGIS Online. Soil moisture from Hydrus-1D, driven by precipitation and evapotranspiration (ET) data from Irrigation Manager, introduced temporal variability. Validation against known landslide sites demonstrated FS accuracy both spatially and temporally, despite some false positives. To reduce false positives and enhance slope stability representation, novel depth-to-bedrock (DTB) and soil root cohesion maps were incorporated …


Crowdsourced Geospatial Data Is Reshaping Urban Sciences, Xiao Huang, Siqin Wang, Tianjun Lu, Yisi Liu, Leticia Serrano-Estrada Jan 2024

Crowdsourced Geospatial Data Is Reshaping Urban Sciences, Xiao Huang, Siqin Wang, Tianjun Lu, Yisi Liu, Leticia Serrano-Estrada

Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications

For many years, urban sciences relied heavily on traditional, authoritative data sources. However, a paradigm shift has occurred recently with the advent of citizen-driven data contribution. This evolution in data acquisition for urban science is attributable to advancements in positioning and navigation technologies, widespread use of digital devices, the rise of Web 2.0, enhanced broadband communications, and refined data management techniques. The significance of crowdsourced geospatial data in the realm of urban sciences is now widely acknowledged. A diverse array of novel data sources has been increasingly gaining prominence. These include, but are not limited to, social media platforms, street …

Unintended Consequences: Changes In Driver Behavior Associated With The Adoption Of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, Nischal Gupta, Peter T. Savolainen Jan 2024

Unintended Consequences: Changes In Driver Behavior Associated With The Adoption Of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, Nischal Gupta, Peter T. Savolainen

Kentucky Transportation Center Presentations

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are a disruptive precursor to fully autonomous vehicles (AVs), which will have far-reaching impacts on the nature of travel. With various ADAS features becoming increasingly common in vehicles, some unintended changes in driving behavior are expected including engaging in more risk-taking behavior while driving. To that end, the present study utilizes survey-based data of 1,000 Michigan adults and investigates the likelihood of drivers engaging in three different driving behaviors- cell phone use, consumption of alcohol, and tailgating when driving a vehicle with collision alert systems by means of multivariate ordered probit regression analysis. Results showed …
