Comprehensive Driver Behavior Assessment under Restricted Intersection Sight Distance

The study will use driving simulator to conduct a comprehensive driver behavior assessment for restricted intersection sight distance scenarios with different control devices, turning maneuvers, horizontal curves, etc. The results will be studied carefully and compared with existing American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) design standards to identify potential issues and improve design and operational safety concerns in the future.
