Maximum acceptable speed based on physiological performance for different alignments of rural roads under the influence of visibility in fog-a driving simulator study.

Conclusions: The study shows a significant correlation between the drivers' physiological performance and his or her driving speed choice under the influence of visibility in fog. Given visibility conditions and road alignment parameters, we can calculate the maximum acceptable speed that meets the driver's physiological requirements. Such findings should be indicative of real-time traffic management that could reduce the crash risk under inadequate visibility conditions in fog. PMID: 32125892 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
