Key Points

  • The research aims to understand how accumulated sand affects driver behavior and decision-making on freeway curves.
  • Conducted a driving simulator study to analyze driver responses to accumulated sand on curves.
  • Examined decision-making and control strategies in response to varying sand encroachment severity.
  • Found that higher levels of accumulated sand significantly alter driving behaviors on curves.
  • Identified specific control strategies used by drivers to navigate sand-affected freeway segments.

Abstract

Accumulated sand encroachment severity strongly influences driver decision-making and control strategies on desert freeway curves. These findings enrich the understanding of behavioral mechanisms in sand-affected scenarios and provide a scientific basis for safety management and proactive behavioral interventions on high-risk freeway segments.
