Abstract
THE OPERATION OF MAJOR/MINOR PRIORITY INTERSECTIONS DEPENDS TO A LARGE EXTENT ON THE PROCESS BY WHICH DRIVERS ON THE MINOR APPROACH SELECT GAPS IN THE PRIMARY TRAFFIC STREAM FOR THE EXECUTION OF CROSSING OR MERGING MANEUVERS. THIS NOTE PRESENTS THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF A STUDY CARRIED OUT AT TWO INTERSECTIONS IN ITALIAN CITIES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON THE EFFECT OF SOME KEY FACTORS UPON DRIVER GAP SELECTION BEHAVIOUR. AFTER DISCUSSING METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE ANALYSIS OF SUCH BEHAVIOUR, THE PAPER REPORTS THE RESULTS OF STATISTICAL TESTS AIMED AT IDENTIFYING THE POSSIBLE EXISTENCE OF SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS OF INTERVAL TYPE, MANEUVER TYPE, CITY SIZE AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS (PEAK VS. OFF-PEAK) UPON THE PROCESS OF GAP ACCEPTANCE. THESE RESULTS ARE INTERPRETED IN THE LIGHT OF REASONABLE HYPOTHESES ON REAL-WORLD DRIVER BEHAVIOUR.Pubblicazioni consigliate
