© 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC and The University of Tennessee.High speed selection and road traffic crashes are related to behavioural perceptions. These are the main cause of deaths or serious injuries. There is evidence to suggest that adaptive cruise control (ACC) increases the driver’s perception of having fun while driving, which affects behavioural factors. Thus, the study aims to examine the interaction effects of perceived enjoyment and behavioural factors towards the use of ACC on high speed and crash involvement. The study model was validated using a sample collected from 321 male and 211 female drivers of vehicles equipped with ACC on two occasions separated by 2 months interval. The results show that age and mileage were positively related to crash involvement, whereas gender was negatively related to high speed selection (HSS). The predictors of HSS were intention, Perceived behavioral control (PBC), attitude towards the use of ACC, and perception of enjoyment from the use of ACC. In addition, the positive predictors of the crash involvement were intention and attitude toward the use of ACC. Perception of enjoyment from the use of ACC negatively predicted crash involvement. Interaction relations between perceived enjoyment and intention towards the use of ACC predicted HSS. Finally, the interaction relation between enjoyment from the use of ACC and PBC predicted crash involvement.

Instrumented monitoring and dynamic testing of Metu cable stayed pedestrian bridge and comparisons against analytical model simulations Özerkan, Taner; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) This study includes structural instrumentation and monitoring of a 48.5 meters long cable-stayed pedestrian bridge located on Eskişehir road near METU campus. The objectives of the study are (1) to monitor the bridge responses during erection and operation stages so that the strain changes are determined during important events such as transportation, lifting, cabling, mid-support removal, slab concrete pouring and tile placement, (2) to determine existing cable forces using vibration frequencies, and (3) c...
Dynamic effects of moving traffic on railway bridges Cinek, Fatih; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) In this study, dynamic effects on high speed railway bridges under moving traffic are investigated. Within this context, the clear definition of the possible dynamic effects is provided and the related studies that exist in literature are investigated. In the light of those studies, analytical procedures that are defined to find the critical dynamic responses such as deflections, accelerations and resonance conditions are examined and a MatLab programming language is written to obtain the responses for diff...
Multidimensional Traffic Locus of Control Scale (T-LOC): factor structure and relationship to risky driving Özkan, Türker (2005-02-01) The aim of the present study was to develop a multidimensional instrument for measuring driver locus of control and to investigate the relationship between driver locus of control, risky driving and negative outcomes. Participants were young male (N = 216) and female (N = 132) drivers who completed a form including the newly developed Multidimensional Traffic Locus of Control Scale (T-LOC), Driver Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ), and items related to drivers' driving records and demographics. Factor analysis ...
Spatio-temporal accident analysis for accident prevention in relation to behavioral factors in driving: The case of South Anatolian Motorway Kaygisiz, Omur; Duzgun, Sebnem; Yildiz, Ahmet; ŞENBİL, Metin (2015-08-01) Analyzing the pattern of traffic accidents on road segments can highlight the hazardous locations where the accidents occur frequently and help to determine problematic parts of the roads. The objective of this paper is to utilize accident hotspots to analyze the effect adifferent measures on the behavioral factors in driving. Every change in the road and its environment affects the choices of the driver and therefore the safety of the road itself. A spatio-temporal analysis of hotspots therefore can highli...
Impulsivity and driver behaviors, offences and accident involvement: A systematic review BIÇAKSIZ, Pinar; Özkan, Türker (2016-04-01) The present literature review study investigated the relationship between impulsivity and driver behaviors, offences and road traffic accidents through the lenses of characterological perspective. The studies published from 1970 to 2014 that examined and reported a relationship between impulsivity and at least one driving related outcome (e.g., a self-report measure of driver behavior) were included. The relevant 38 out of 288 studies are presented in four sections based on the driving related outcomes as; ...
