Investigating the Effects of Roadway Design on Driver Behavior: Applications for Minnesota Highway Design
This report details a project to study the relationship between highway design and human behavior as influenced by roadside environments. The project was developed in two phases. In the visualization phase, computer simulation was used to model an actual segment of urban highway planned for reconstruction in Tofte, Minnesota. Using a driving simulator, project design team members could test-drive the highway reconstruction project and evaluate the planned elements. In the experimentation phase, driver's responses to different design scenarios were tested, so that architectural and aesthetic elements having the greatest potential for calming or slowing traffic could be identified.
