Samenvatting

Over the last decade a detailed understanding of driver behaviour, particularly of motorway driving, has become of increased importance to the planning of improvements designed to smooth traffic flow and reduce accident risk. The ability to measure close-following headways on motorways as they evolve over time is an important aspect of this and can enable differences between drivers, effects of vehicle type and level of congestion to be studied. In particular, differences that may arise over time, either over a period of hours during one trip, or from day to day may be important. This paper will report on initial findings in these areas, based on data collected using an instrumented vehicle. Additionally, experiments undertaken to assess the suitability of the method used for this type of research will be reported and recommendations for future research provided. (A)
