Abstract
Traffic crashes on rural roads pose a significant safety risk due to a disproportionate number of fatalities. To address this issue, a driving simulation study tested an in-vehicle speed monitoring display (SMD) as an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), both with and without voice recording. The simulation was based on PR-114, a two-lane rural highway in western Puerto Rico, and included scenarios with and without active ADAS alerts for speeding and roadway hazards. Results indicated that image alerts are associated with speed reductions.
