The Role of Risk and Rule Perception in the Selection Process of Overtaking and Lane Merging Behavior
Objective To investigate the role of driver's risk perception and rule perception in the process of over-taking and lane merging driving behavior selection.Methods A self-designed experimental scenario incorporating highway vehicle congestion was used to conduct behavioral choice tests on 86 drivers.Results In the context of deci-sion-making by others and self decision-making,drivers choose to drive on the original road significantly more than choose to overtake and merge.There was a significant correlation between risk perception and rule perception and driving behavior choice.Conclusion Self selection of driving behavior is equally reasonable as the choices of others,and awareness of risks and rules has a predictive effect on driving behavior choices.
