註釋

Wrong-way crashes (WWCs) are severe and more likely to be fatal compared to other highway crashes. We report two tasks aimed at understanding and reducing this type of crash. Task 1 was a review of five decades of research on the characteristics of wrong-way drivers, interchange designs associated with wrong-way entries, and the effectiveness of countermeasures that have been implemented to reduce wrong-way crashes and entries. Task 1 also involved the development of a cue-based decision model to explain wrong-way movements. Task 2 included laboratory and driving simulator studies to better understand effective countermeasures to prevent wrong-way entries and crashes, testing younger and older drivers under conditions in which they are most likely to be involved in a WWC (younger drivers at night, older drivers during the day).
