Abstract

A pilot study using TRL driving simulator is conducted to evaluate traffic calming features. The validity of the simulator validated by comparing the results with those of public-road trials at three villages. It is demonstrated that the effects of signing/marking measures can be broadly reproduced in the TRL simulator. This indicate that the simulator is valuable in supplementing the results of road trials - in particular, for comparing the effects of a wider range of measures. The simulator also offers additional data not easily obtainable from conventional road trials.
