SPR-5023: Understanding and Shaping Driver Behavior and Public Perception at Reduced Conflict Intersections (RCls)

This project addresses public acceptance and driver safety at Reduced Conflict Intersections (RCIs). Through statewide driver surveys and field observations, the research identifies specific driver challenges and perceptions at RCIs. Utilizing Purdue’s portable driving simulator, the project evaluates design interventions and signage improvements to clarify driver navigation. Final deliverables include behavioral insights, validated simulation scenarios for RCIs, and educational outreach tools.
