Question
Match each item to a choice:
It is a well known method to study the manner in which drivers move into a priority area
where they must give way to other road users.
Defined as the gap for which the number of accepted gaps shorter than it is equal to the
number of rejected gaps longer than it
It is a measure of the time between the rear bumper of the first vehicle and the front bumper
of the second vehicle
Two or more road users are about to occupy the same location at the same time, if their
movements remain unchanged.
It refers to the methods and measures used to prevent road users from being klled or
seriously injured.
The road user who took an evasive action first.
It is the span between the mament the first traffic participant leaves the course of the
second traffic participant and the second traffic porticipant enters the previous course of the
first one.
Defined at the moment when one of the road users start taking an evasive action
It is defined as the time needed for a pedestrian to reach the conflict area
It implies that, unless one of the road users takes an evasive action, a collision will happen.
