Specific topics addressed include: a safety evaluation of illuminance transition at highway tunnel portals; human perceptions of vehicle turning intention; visual behavior of unfamiliar drivers on horizontal curves; road lighting audits and safety screenings at urban intersections; drivers’ smart assistance systems based on radio frequency identification; the impact of design and construction on quality, consistency, and safety of traffic control plans; and the impact of work zone lighting on driver’s detection of objects (includes discussion and author closure). The issue also covers these topics: the cost-effectiveness of steady-burn warning lights in work zones; expected crash reduction benefits and costs of truck-mounted attenuator use in work zones; lane bias issues in work zone travel time measurement and reporting; a photometric evaluation of steady-burn warning lights in work zones; human factors issues of accidents at passively controlled rural level crossings; train warning times and gate violations; and a dual microwave radar vehicle detection system at a four-quadrant-gate railroad grade crossing.
