• Description:
  The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is dedicated to engineering safer roadways, but safety requires engineers and planners to go beyond their usual scope to understand behavior of road users of all ages. Driving, for example, is a complex activity that requires integration of many skills, such as safe vehicle operation, comprehending traffic control devices, and making good judgments in navigating the roadway system. In these studies, Florida State University researchers used a driving simulator to help examine how drivers’ and cyclists’ perceive and interact with several safety countermeasures to gain understanding and help support FDOT’s aging road-user program, “Safe Mobility for Life.”
