Abstract

Rural, stop-controlled intersections pose a crash risk to drivers, particularly elderly drivers. This paper outlines the design phase of an infrastructure-based intersection decision support (IDS) system to help drivers make safer gap acceptance decisions at rural intersections. A human factors-based design process was conducted to determine the type of information that should be presented to drivers. Information considered important for presentation to the driver included showing the presence of gaps, indicating the size of available gaps, and/or judging the safety of available gaps. This paper discusses the process used to determine the appropriate design specifications for initial testing of the IDS system interface.
