Effect of Extreme Weather Conditions on Speed Profiles of Drivers: A Case Study in Delhi, India
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Adverse weather conditions in India and temperature fluctuations are the major causes of an elevated risk of traffic accidents and traffic flow. In India heavy rain and foggy winters impair the road conditions; the effect of such conditions on driver behaviour has been a matter of concern for many years and the subject of Past research. Main focus of the present study was to understand how an individual driver responds to certain stimuli according to his/her individual characteristics during various driving conditions. The data acquisition of this study was done with V-box. Different driving cycles were also recorded during the data acquisition. The findings highlight drivers’ state and pattern of crashes during rain and foggy conditions during simulated adverse weather conditions. From the data this has been observed It is clearly seen that average driving time differ by 120 seconds in rainy season on the same track i.e 4 % extra time in rainy season. Based on these findings this has been recommended that frequency and severity of accident like situations and other related incidents can be reduced by providing drivers with enough information about the roadway and traffic conditions as well as through better traffic management during adverse weather conditions. Advanced motorist warning systems about weatherrelated conditions can be proved better tool for understanding of driver’s responses during adverse weather conditions.
