Approach

 

RAINVISION will deploy an innovative three level approach that will involve:

  • A simulation phase which will entail the use of computer simulation technology, to perform a series of tests to study driver behaviour in relationship to different road conditions that will facilitate the determination of the performance levels of the materials used for the track test. (More information)
  • A track test phase whereby, on the basis of the findings of the simulation studies, volunteer drivers will perform runs on track tests that will designed to correspond to different scenarios. (More information)
  • An on road test, which will entail the application of different types of road markings materials on rural roads in the United Kingdom and monitor their impact on driver behaviour over a specific time frame. (More information)
