Driver perspectives of open and tunnel expressways
TLDR
In this article, the authors examined drivers' perspectives of open and tunnel expressways for 114 active drivers in Singapore using the free association technique and found that drivers perceive speed, traffic condition, and scenery to be most prevalent for open expressways; while lighting, enforcement, and safety are more prevalent for tunnel expressway.About:

The effect of road tunnel environment on car following behaviour
Jian Sheng Yeung,Yiik Diew Wong +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, the findings show that road tunnels are superior in terms of safety but at reduced traffic capacity, and significant factors affecting headways are found to be speed, and lane.
Driving behaviour in a real and a simulated road tunnel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the VTI Driving Simulator to validate driving behavior in a simulated road tun Speed and lateral position of 20 subjects were measured in a real tunnel and in the same tunnel implemented in the simulator.

Influence of the Lighting System on the Driver's Behavior in Road Tunnels: A Driving Simulator Study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the impact of the LED lighting system on traffic safety by means of driving simulator experimentation and compare the behavior maintained in tunnels illuminated with a traditional system, in normal and in critical conditions.

Hit-and-run crashes in urban river-crossing road tunnels.
TL;DR: A binary logistic regression model was established to identify thirteen factors that contribute to escaping after crashes in Shanghai related to the offending drivers, the vehicular and environmental conditions, the tunnel characteristics and crash information and found that a perpetrator's tendency to leave the crash scene without reporting an accident was higher at night, in the tunnel exit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applying a stochastic-based approach for developing a quantitative risk assessment method on the fire safety of underground road tunnels
TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel quantitative risk assessment method, named SIREN, which examines the parameters’ criticality supporting safety analysts in selecting additional to standard safety measures, if needed, and aids analysts to act consistently with the as low as reasonable practicable principle.

Attitudes, Personality and Behavior
TL;DR: The theory and research in personality and social psychology the principle of aggregation - creating stability and consistency moderating variables - effects of individual differences, characteristics of the disposition, situational factors, and type of behaviour theory of planned behaviour - prediction of specific actions with varying degrees of volitional control as mentioned in this paper.

Mental workload while driving: effects on visual search, discrimination, and decision making.
Miguel A. Recarte,Luís Nunes +1 more
TL;DR: The effects of mental workload on visual search and decision making were studied in real traffic conditions with 12 participants who drove an instrumented car and produced spatial gaze concentration and visual-detection impairment, although no tunnel vision occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preference for Nature in Urbanized Societies: Stress, Restoration, and the Pursuit of Sustainability
TL;DR: In this article, a perspective on an underlying practical challenge: designing communities that balance settlement density with satisfactory access to nature experience is presented. But, the authors do not consider how people actually achieve restoration in urban and natural environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
An on-road assessment of cognitive distraction: impacts on drivers' visual behavior and braking performance.
TL;DR: Changes in visual behavior and vehicle control were affected; during the most difficult cognitive tasks there were more occurrences of hard braking and the potential for cognitive distraction associated with their use must also be considered and appropriately assessed.

TL;DR: In this article, a total of 721 consumers were interviewed in order to obtain and compare consumer-driven associations to the word "traditional " in a food context, in six European regions.
