Summary

Accurately estimating total braking time (TBT) is crucial for traffic safety. This meta-analysis identifies driver awareness, country, brake stimulus type, and distance as key factors influencing TBT variations.

Area of Science:

  • Traffic Safety Engineering
  • Human Factors in Transportation

Background:

  • Total braking time (TBT) distribution is critical for traffic safety parameters like minimum following gap and stopping sight distance.
  • Existing TBT distribution studies show wide variations, causing confusion for practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the sources of variation in total braking time (TBT) studies using a meta-analysis.
  • To improve the accuracy of TBT distribution estimation for traffic safety applications.

Main Methods:

  • A meta-analysis was conducted on existing studies of total braking time (TBT).
  • Statistical analysis was performed to identify factors influencing the mean and variance of TBT.

Main Results:

  • Driver awareness level and the country of the experiment significantly affect the mean TBT.
  • The type of brake stimulus and its distance from the driver influence the variance of TBT.
  • Reconstructed TBT distributions were developed based on identified influential factors.

Conclusions:

  • Percentile estimates of TBT used for minimum following gap and stopping sight distance require adjustment.
  • Accurate TBT estimation necessitates considering driver awareness, experimental location, brake stimulus characteristics, and distance.
