Abstract:

Accidents between vehicles traveling in the same direction represent a large proportion of all traffic accidents. Past studies have shown that as the speed differential between two vehicles traveling in the same direction increases, the accident rate soars. This speed differential is commonly found with a large vehicle ascending a grade being overtaken by a faster vehicle. In this volume, an experimental design was developed to evaluate a series of active and passive warning devices, including roadside and vehicle-mounted devices. A state-of-the-art survey and bibliography are included. A questionnaire, designed to appraise motorists' reactions to these devices, is appended.
