257 4864882915 Speed, a road safety issue • a main cause of road crash • a major contributory factor in 30% of fatal crashes [TRB, 1998] • a direct influence on accident severity • Implementation of safety interventions to reduce speeding behaviour
Speed limiter A in-built system that supports the driver in not exceeding a pre-selected speed by limiting the throttle • 4 controls • 1select CC, SL or no system • 2 Store the speed, decrease the selected speed. • 3Disengage and engage the system • 4 Store the speed, increase the selected speed.
Interaction project Who are the IVT users and non users? Where, when, how and why drivers use IVT? What are the real effects of IVT on driving?
Interaction project Where and how drivers use SL?
A small-scale Naturalistic Driving Study (1/3) • Min. 4 weeks 5 instrumentedvehicles Peugeot 308 Renault Clio Estate Peugeot 207 SW
A small-scale Naturalistic Driving Study (2/3) • Drive as you normally would, both regarding your journeys and your driving style. • Use the equipment • according to your habits.
SL use rate according to road types • 8 SL users among the 16 drivers • 51 hours of SL use • SL use rate = 17 % of time driven with SL on • No effect of road types on SL use rate
SL users strategies 8 drivers users strategies
Mainly highway SL users SL speed distribution Driving time by road type Driver 416 • SL speed on highway is in average 5 km/h above the legal speed limit • No change of the SL speed when they get away from highway
Mainly rural road SL users SL speed distribution Driving time by road type Driver 402 • The SL speed fits the legal speed limit of rural roads • No change of the SL speed when they get away from rural to urban roads
Mixed road SL users SL speed distribution Driving time by road type Driver 412 • Change of the SL speed according to the legal speed limit
The different SL states (1/2) Legal speed limit 90 km/h 130 km/h 90 km/h 50 km/h 2 SLstates SL on SL off SL speed 135 km/h 3 SLstates SL off SL usefull SL useless
Conclusion • A pilot study due to the size of the sample • SL speed selected • above the legal speed limit • In order to avoid speed fines • Preferential context of SL use • Highways • Rural roads • Why • Drivers aware that the frequency of speed control differ according to the roads • Unaware that speeding is also a issue in urban area mainly for VRU
