The four studies reported had the following objectives: STUDY I. Conduct an analysis of accident data in an effort to discern the information needed by drivers to avoid rear-end collisions. STUDY II. Evaluate the ability of drivers to identify the intended information content of conventional and certain novel signal systems. STUDY III. Evaluate a technique to unobtrusively measure the response of naive drivers to conventional and novel rear marking and signaling displays. STUDY IV. Evaluate the ability of drivers to detect changes in the dynamic relationship between their own vehicle and a lead vehicle, and analyze the way in which this information is used in car following. Findings of the studies are included.
