Traffic climate and driver behaviors: The moderating role of driving skills in Turkey and China Üzümcüoğlu, Yeşim; Özkan, Türker; Wu, Chaozhong; Zhang, Hui (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) © 2020 National Safety Council and Elsevier LtdIntroduction: While road traffic accidents and fatalities are a worldwide problem, the rates of road traffic accidents and fatalities show differences among countries. Similarly, driver behaviors, traffic climate, and their relationships also show differences among countries. The aim of the current study is to investigate the moderating effect of driving skills on the relationship between traffic climate and driver behaviors by country. (Turkey and China). Meth...
Traffic safety climate attitudes of road users in Germany GEHLERT, Tina; HAGEMEİSTER, Carmen; Özkan, Türker (2014-09-01) This paper validates traffic safety climate attitudes based on a representative sample of road users of all travel modes. We use the German version of the Traffic Climate Scale (TCS) which was applied in a large-scale road safety survey in 2010. A total of 1680 people were surveyed. The sample is representative for socio-demographic characteristics and travel mode choice in Germany. Factor analysis reveals a three-factor structure of traffic safety climate with the factor 'External affective demands' descri...
Traffic locus of control, driving skills, and attitudes towards In-vehicle technologies (ISA ACC) Özkan, Türker; Kaistinen, Jyrki (null; 2005-10-06) Drivers’ acceptance of in-vehicle technologies is influenced by individual differences in user characteristics. Locus of control (LOC) can be assumed to be one of the most crucial psychological factors determining a drivers’ acceptance to new in-vehicle technologies. Internals may, for instance, choose to rely on their own driving skills and abilities rather than on in-vehicle technologies and try to maintain their direct involvement with the driving task. It is also known that intention, which is influence...
Traffic climate scale: Comparing samples from Turkey and Sweden Wallén Warner, Henriette; Öztürk, İbrahim; Özkan, Türker (2021-01-01) Traffic climate is a recent and one of the essential topics in traffic and transportation research. Various studies have examined the relations of traffic climate with driving outcomes such as accidents by using different versions of the Traffic Climate Scale (TCS). In a recent attempt, 16-items and 38-items versions of the TCS were examined in different countries. With respect to that, the present study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of 16-items and 38-items versions in samples from Turkey...
Traffic volume prediction using LSTM improved with rules obtained from anomalies Gültekin, Yasin Berk; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Şener, Cevat; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-9) Traffic volume forecasting is crucial in order to create a successful smart transportation system. The precision and timeliness of the traffic flow data are critical to the forecast's effectiveness. The lack of data has led to the usage of shallow architectures in traffic forecasting models or the creation of models based on fabricated measurement data. These models did not have a high level of success in predicting outcomes. In the world of big data, the variety and scale of the acquired traffic data has i...
