DRIVER CHARACTERISTICS
yPIEV time theory(reaction time) = definitiontime taken for a driver to initiate an action as result ofan external stimulus.
y P = Perception - Is the initial perception of thestimulus which may be visual, auditory, tactile orcombination of the above. (Action of seeing
something on the road)y I = Intellection - Is the process of understanding the
stimulus (Action to know what it is,e.g: a paperflying in air, people crossing, levying, )
-

15/146
PIEV Time Theory Contdy E = Evaluation - Making mental decision regarding
possible responses
(Action of thinking about option one isgoing to take)
yV = Volution - Is the initiation of physical action(Initiating the chosen option)

Note:y PIEV time is a random quality which varies from a
person to another for identical stimulus.
y
Furthermore it depends on the situation such asdrivers condition (fatigue, emotion, disability, drugs)or ambient conditions etc.
y Studies have shown PIEVtime ranging from 0.3 to 2.0seconds on a mean of 0.75 sec.

EVALUATION PROCESS (Example)
y Consider for example the driver of a vehicleapproaching an intersection while the signalindication is turning to yellow (amber) the driver
has several options : stopping , continuing at thesame speed , or accelerating.
y The driver here is operating under condition ofuncertainty regarding the possibility of accidentor being cited by police or the amount delay if hestop.

VISION1. Cone of vision
y Most drivers have accurate cone of vision of 30 to 50and an adequate cone of vision of 100-120 in whichimages are clear.
y Traffic signs should be placed at a cone of vision notmore than 120

VISION2. Glare look at with fixed eyes vision &
recovery
- An eye takes time to adjustwe go from light to dark ordark to light.
y Glare recovery time is the time taken to recover fromthe effect of glare .
y Importance : the lighting arrangement at highlylighted areas as tunnel entrances and exits must takeinto account human behavior.

VISION3. Color vision and color blindnessy In general human eye is sensitive to black & white as
well as black & yellow combination . Optimum colors
scheme for making and signs should consider thishuman behavior . Color blindness is an inability todifferentiate green and red .
yAbout 9% of males and 4% females in north America
are color blind. In Africa, its lesser than that.y Bluish green is used in green traffic signals to address
it.

PHYSICAL, MENTAL & EMOTIONAL
FACTORSy Intelligence : it is found that persons with
super intelligence are not mentally attentiveto the task of driving.
yEmotions : fear , anger ,worry and otheremotional states lend to create disorganizedreaction.
yMotivation : on one hand safety & comfort,saving time on the other hand.
yLearning: Repetition, Trial and Error &
From previous experience.

THE DRIVING TASKy Tracking
y Object avoidance
Three points considered here:yA = Action Point (the point at which stimulus
commences);
y M= Mental Point (the point at which we think to apply
break before reaching the object) andy T=True Point (the minimum point beyond which the
action may fail/ not succeed)
y Refer to cases in figures

yNON UNIFORM ACCELERATIONTHEORY
y dv /dt=-v
y In reality acceleration is not uniform , it varies inverselywith speed and can be given by the expression:
* .. i) (acceleration )
y *v0vdv / v = 0t dt .. (velocity).
yV= / (1- e t )+ v0e-t
yX = t/ /2 (1- e-t ) + v0 / (1- e-t)

APPLICATION: ACCIDENT ANALYSIS
We can use the concepts to analyze an accident thathas occurred._the length of skid marks on the road surface provide
important clues to the accident investigator, sincethey can be used to estimate the speed of the vehicle
that was braked accurately.y One parameter we need is the coefficient of friction,which can be determined by field tests, the otherparameter is the inclination ( by surveying).
y
The estimate that can be made is the speed at themoment skidding began and not necessarily of thespeed at which the braking began.The length of the skid marks after an accidenton a level stretched be SA

Let the legal speed limit be VL
The speed limit was exceeded if

NB: suppose SAVL2/ 2g(we can not be sure that speedlimit was exceeded because after braking skid markscan come later.
y So SAdoesnt represent skidding distance)

STOPPING DISTANCEy Includes distance traveled during PIEV time + braking
distancey Ex: the driver of a vehicle traveling at 80km requires
8.5m(measured horizontally) less to stop afterapplying brakes upgrade than when traveling down thesame.

o This the concept of minor and major street, or two waystop intersection control
o The driver on a minor street yield or give way to thevehicle in major street
o In two-way stop the vehicle select a gap in a priority flow
through which to execute the desired movement.
o The term gap refers to space between vehicles on theroadway that has a right-of-way

o Capacity of the minor street depends on two factors;
The distribution of available gaps in the major streettraffic stream, which depends on the total volume of traffic on the
street, number of lane, and degree and type of platoon on the
traffic stream
The gap size required by minor-street drivers to execute thedesired movement , which depends on the type of maneuver (left,
through, right ) number of lanes, the speed of major street traffic,
sight distance, length of time the minor street vehicle has been
waiting, and drivier characteristics (reaction time, age, etc)

o Pedestrian speed is the walking speed, in m/s.
o Pedestrian flow per unit of width is the average flow of pedestrians per
unit of effective walkway width, expressed as pedestrians per minute
per meter (p/min/m).
o Pedestrian density is the average number of pedestrians per unit of
area within a walkway or queuing area, expressed as pedestrians per
square meter (p/m2).
o Pedestrian space is the average area provided for each pedestrian in
a walkway or queuing area, in (m2/p).
o Platoon refers to a number of pedestrians walking together in a group,
usually involuntarily, as a result of signal control and other factors.

o Qualitative measure, such as freedom to choose desired
speeds and to bypass others is similar to vehicles
o Environmental factors that contribute to the walking
experience such as comfort, convenience, safety,
security, and economy of the walking system influences
the LOS
o Comfort factor include, weather protection, climate
control, arcades, transit shelters, pathway directness,
grades, sidewalk ramps, directional signing, direction

As volume and density increase, pedestrian speed declines.
As density increases and pedestrian space decreases, the
degree of mobility of pedestrian declines

o Speed-Space Relationship:
The study below indicates that at space < 1.5m2/p, even slowest
pedestrian cannot achieve the desired walking speed.
Faster walking pedestrian at 1.8m/s needs at least 4.0m2/p or
more

o The designer should use pedestrian body depth and shoulder
breadth for minimum space
o Simplified body ellipse of 0.5m x 0.6m = 0.3m2 is used as basic
space for a single pedestrian. However, 0.75m2 is used as buffer
zone for each pedestrian

The forward space is critical dimension because it determine the
speed of the trip and number of pedestrian that can pass a point in a
given time
It is categorized as pacing zone and sensory zone

o Walking Speed highly depends of the combined age group in the
walking population, grade and effective width
0-20% of elders (65yrs or more) makes an average speed of
1.2m/s in a walkway
IF is > 20% in walking population the speed decreases to 1.0m/s
A grade of 10% of more reduces the speed by 0.1m/s

o The lane width is used to determine how many people can walk
abreast in width of a walkway
o The minimum walkway width should permit two pedestrian to pass
each other
o To avoid interference each pedestrian should have at least 0.8m of
walking width. i.e. 0.7m occupancy and 0.1m allowing a likelihood of
contact due to body sway, unless if it is very clouded
o Moving pedestrian shy away from the edge curb and against the
wall. Therefore, un used space must be discounted when analyzing
pedestrian facility

o The strip preempted by pedestrian standing near the
building, or physical obstruction such as light pole,
garbage box, advert post should be excluded.
o The obstructions in the walkway reduces the effectivewidth. Although single point obstruction would not reduce
the effective width of entire walkway, but it affect that
immediate vicinity
o Designer should liaise with utilities authorities in the
appropriate location of these physical obstructions

ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
If we are given an existing intersection and we are
asked to design a suitable phasing scheme.
There are several steps:
STEP1: identify lane geometry
STEP2: determine hourly volumes
STEP3: through traffic plus left turns at the amber
(yellow)
STEP3 is done if the left turns are sharing the
same phase with through traffic from the opposite
direction
