Results
The project produced following results:
Study of psychological characteristics of drivers
This study provides a brief overview of psychological characteristic of drivers. The study serves as a base of knowledge for further experiments and for creation of methodology for training of professional drivers in the field of ITS.
Base of knowledge – influence of modern technologies on drivers
Base of knowledge in the field of influence of modern technologies placed in vehicles on different drivers groups.
Aesthetic design of acoustic barriers
A document summarizing information about designs of acoustic barriers.
Influence of transport environment on behaviour of drivers
The study explores understablity of animated pictograms. Animated pictograms could in the future play important role as transport signs on EU road infrastructure. Animated pictograms are not prohibited by law so there could be worked out a methodology for using of animated pictograms in the form of variable transport signs
In depth interviews about possibilities for penetration of ITS in transport market.
Survey was held to gain key information for creation a policy tools supporting penetration of intelligent systems in transport market. The main result of this study was to gain knowledge and experience of various transport experts to find best strategies for enhancing of ITS among their users.
Policy implications
Supporting tools for policy implementing ITS, variable transport signs and acoustics barriers.
