TL;DR: In this article, the effects of visual and cognitive load on driving performance and driver state were systematically investigated by means of artificial, or surrogate, In-vehicle Information Systems (S-IVIS).
Abstract: As part of the HASTE European Project, effects of visual and cognitive demand on driving performance and driver state were systematically investigated by means of artificial, or surrogate, In-vehicle Information Systems (S-IVIS). The present paper reports results from simulated and real motorway driving. Data were collected in a fixed base simulator, a moving base simulator and an instrumented vehicle driven in real traffic. The data collected included speed, lane keeping performance, steering wheel movements, eye movements, physiological signals and self-reported driving performance. The results show that the effects of visual and cognitive load affect driving performance in qualitatively different ways. Visual demand led to reduced speed and increased lane keeping variation. By contrast, cognitive load did not affect speed and resulted in reduced lane keeping variation. Moreover, the cognitive load resulted in increased gaze concentration towards the road centre. Both S-IVIS had an effect on physiological signals and the drivers’ assessment of their own driving performance. The study also investigated differences between the three experimental settings (static simulator, moving base simulator and field). The results are discussed with respect to the development of a generic safety test regime for In-vehicle Information Systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review revealed that design and choice of urban vegetation is crucial when using vegetation as an ecosystem service for air quality improvements, while low vegetation close to sources can improve air quality by increasing deposition.

TL;DR: The authors hypothesise that differences in people's attitudes and personality traits lead them to attribute varying importance to environmental considerations, safety, comfort, convenience and flexibility, and they hypothesize that these attributes lead to varying importance for environmental considerations.

TL;DR: It was found that for vehicles in a car following situation headway and TTC are independent of each other, and it is recommended to use headway for enforcement purposes, because small headways generate potentially dangerous situations.
