Distinction of Road Categories by Road Users

Journal Title: Acta Technica Jaurinensis - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

In order to create self-explaining roads, a remarkable difference should exist between road categories, whereas within a given road category the layout should be homogenous. The paper analyses, how many and which road categories are identified and distinguished by road users. A picture sorting task was completed to find out how road users group 45 different road scenes, and how these groups correspond to road categories according current standards.
