abstract="Roadway horizontal curves are the site of numerous crashes and motorist deaths each year. The objective of this study was to determine the most effective curve warning device using on-road performance and subjective evaluation. A baseline no warning condition and two multi-modal warnings were tested by 48 participants at the Virginia Smart Road closed test highway. Both warnings exhibited the same auditory (speech) and visual (Heads-Down Display) stimuli, but one also included a throttle push-back haptic stimulus. Throttle reaction times and brake reaction times were significantly quicker and curve entry speed significantly closer to an advisory speed for participants receiving a warning presentation versus those without a warning presentation. Older drivers reached more appropriate curve entry speeds than younger drivers. Driver risk-taking style was significantly related to age and curve entry speed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
