Not only is it one of the leading causes of accidents, it also has an extensive effect on the impact and consequences of accidents. This is especially the case for trucks, where the enforced speed limit is often dependent on local legislation and context rather than speed limit traffic signs. This study is part of the greater i-DREAMS project and aims to explore the effectiveness of an intelligent speed assistance system for truck drivers. To achieve this, a simulator experiment was performed with 34 professional truck drivers in Belgium. Participants first made a baseline drive followed by two drives, where they received visual information about the enforced speed limit, but also visual and auditory warnings when exceeding the speed limit. The drives included different road environments with different speed limits. The results reveal a significant reduction of relevant parameters (i.e. average speed, minimum speed, maximum speed, and percentage of distance above the speed limit) when drivers received information and warnings about speeding while driving on a rural 1x1 road with a speed limit of 70 km/h (60 km/h for trucks). Further research is needed to validate this effect on other road types. | Keywords: | Truck Simulator;Speeding;Intelligent Speed Assistance;Interventions;Driving Behavior | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/38072 | e-ISSN: | 2071-1050 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
