    Quantifying the effect of street design on driving speed on urban roads
    (Transportation Research Board, 01.01.2024) van Eggermond, Michael; Schaffner, Dorothea; Studer, Nora; Erath, Alexander
    Reducing driving speed is a key factor in improving road safety and combating noise emissions. For this reason, more and more cities across the world reduce speed limits urban in roads to 30 km/h (20 mph). According measures are implemented in major urban areas in Europe (e.g. Paris, Brussels) and the U.S. (e.g. New York City, Seattle). For the implementation of speed reductions main roads are of particular interest. Main roads in urban areas are different from residential roads in several ways, including, but not limited to the type of trips, vehicular mix and the presence of public transport, and are therefore limited in design options to reduce speeds. The study at hand reports on a virtual reality study conducted in Switzerland using a driving simulator. To assess whether road design influences driving speed, participants were asked to drive through a series of main roads in VR with varying speed limits and street designs. Speed and lateral position were recorded; in a follow-up survey, participants stated their preferred speed along the same segments and were asked about risk aversion. Results indicate that only certain designs result in slightly lower driving speeds, while controlling for self-reported risk aversion and driving style. Given the characteristics of main roads, measures reducing the (perceived) lane width are promising, but require further investigation.

    Quantifying the effect of street design on driving speed on urban roads
    (11.05.2023) van Eggermond, Michael; Schaffner, Dorothea; Studer, Nora; Erath, Alexander
    Reducing driving speed is a key factor in improving road safety and combatting noise emissions. Over the last decades, many European cities and countries have reduced the speed limits of residential and neighborhood roads from 50 km/h (30 mph) to 30 km/h (20 mph) or even 20 km/h (12 mph). At the same time, there is a discussion the reduction of the speed limit on main roads in urban areas in several countries. Main roads in urban areas are different from residential roads in several ways, including, but not limited to type of trips, type of vehicles and the presence of public transport, and are therefore limited in design options to reduce speeds. The study at hand reports on a virtual reality study conducted in Switzerland using a driving simulator.

    Aktivitätenbasierte Verkehrsmodelle: Methoden, Anwendungen, Vor- und Nachteile
    (Schweizerischer Verband der Strassen- und Verkehrsfachleute, 2022) Erath, Alexander; Vitins, Basil; Fellendorf, Martin; Arendt, Michael [in: Strasse und Verkehr]
    Aktivitätenbasierte Verkehrsmodelle (ABM) sind ein vielversprechender Ansatz der Verkehrsmodellierung. Gegenüber den in der Praxis mehrheitlich eingesetzten aggregierten Modellansätzen bieten ABM verschiedene Vorteile. ABM erlauben vielseitigere Auswertungsmöglichkeiten und flexiblere, methodisch konsistentere Abbildungen von intermodalen Wegeketten – zum Beispiel für ÖV- oder Langsamverkehrsstudien – und zeitlich dynamischen Massnahmen, zum Beispiel Mobility Pricing. Gleichzeitig sind ABM in der Praxis bisher noch weniger etabliert und stellen höhere Anforderungen bei der Modellierung. Im Rahmen eines SVI-Forschungsprojekts wurden Voraussetzungen sowie Vor- und Nachteile des Einsatzes von ABM untersucht, um Modellbetreibern eine Entscheidungshilfe zu bieten.
