Human error
90-95% of all road accidents have HUMAN ERROR as a component
(Treat, 1977)

Human error
Treat (1977, et al.) performed a 5 year study that examined the causes of 2258 automobile accidents. Human error was the sole factor in 57% and a contributing factor in 92.6%.
Treat et al. further found that of accidents caused by human error, perceptual error was involved in 90% and response error in only 10%. If these results generalize to the other studies, then perceptual error is an important factor in over 80% of all automobile accidents.

Human Factors
Examples of degraded performance:▫ Diminished ability to concentrate▫ Increase in judgement errors▫ Increase in failed detection of critical events▫ Needless risk-taking▫ …
Human Factors may be defined as the technology concerned with the analysis and optimisation of the relationship between people and their activities, by the integration of human sciences and engineering in systematic applications, in consideration for cognitive aspects and socio-technical working contexts… (Cacciabue, P.C., 2004)

Experiment 1
Objective: Road layout VS. Driver performance Analyse speed variation as a function of radius of curvature, taking
into account other variables which also influence driver’s choice of speed: curve direction, roadside environment.
How do drivers approach a curve? At which speeds?
When do they start to react to it? Braking or releasing gas pedal?
How do they behave along the curve? Curve negotiation

Experiment 2
Objective: Analyse road sign features (design, content, amount) in terms of their
adaptation to road environment, traffic situation and driver needs.
Can drivers perceive certain road signs?
Can they interpret them?
Is the number of signs appropriate? Are them visible?
