@ibrahimozturk.bsky.social talked about their work on in-vehicle technologies, "An investigation of how drivers’ knowledge and use of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) varies between countries", from the Hi-Drive project.

New publication: "Exploring the effects of sex category, gender roles, and gender stereotypes on one's own, women's and men's driving behaviour in Türkiye and France". We investigated the relationships between sex, gender roles, and driver behaviours across two countries.

It is my pleasure to share that in 2028, we will be hosting the 9th International Conference on Traffic and Transport Psychology (ICTTP9). Exciting times ahead, we can’t wait to welcome you!

@markkula.bsky.social, @hfs-its-leeds.bsky.social, @envleeds.bsky.social, @universityofleeds.bsky.social

@ptw86.bsky.social and Hsuan Chao will be exhibiting with a desktop simulator set up to show some of our use cases to delegates, while @ibrahimozturk.bsky.social and Ruth Madigan will be presenting some of their latest work.

Before diving into acceptance levels, we focused on how well the data represented the psychological constructs measured. The results supported a lower-level multi-factor structure, while providing evidence for a general acceptance factor.

📢 New publication! As part of the Hi-Drive project, we (Esko Lehtonen, Ruth Madigan, Yee Mun Lee, Elina Aittoniemi, and Natasha Merat OBE) investigated user acceptance of Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) in conditionally automated driving systems (SAE level 3).

We also explored how pedestrian behaviour (approaching vs. standing still) and the presence of LED bands as conspicuity aids influence driver responses.

We examined how drivers’ yielding behaviours vary across age groups (younger vs. older), under cognitive load, and across different environmental conditions (daylight vs. after dark, with and without pedestrian crossings).

This study is a milestone for us, not only does it introduce several new experimental features, but it’s also one of the final studies conducted using our previous driving simulator.

🔍 I’m pleased to share our latest open-access article <Is drivers’ interaction with pedestrians affected by cognitive load and LED bands? A driving simulator study investigating performance across two age groups during different ambient lighting conditions> now published in TRF.

The 20th RS5C conference officially concluded! ✅ What a joy to co-organise with the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI). Massive thanks to the organising & scientific committees, our brilliant volunteers, and every author and 218 delegates who joined us from 37 countries 🌎

We’ve wrapped the pre- #RS5C conference Virtuocity tours and welcome reception 🎉 Huge thanks to everyone who attended today. Can’t wait to kick off the conference tomorrow! 🏵

• Males showed higher levels of perceived behavioural control and behavioural intention compared to their female counterparts.

• Attitudes and perceived behavioural control were positively associated with behavioural intention for users and non-users.

🔑 Highlights

• Attitudes and behavioural intentions of individuals in Türkiye towards the use of e-scooters were investigated.

• Users demonstrated greater levels of perceived behavioural control, usefulness, and behavioural intention than non-users.

🛴 New Publication! I’m delighted to share our new article “Exploring attitudes and behavioural intentions towards e-scooter use in Türkiye: Differences between users and non-users” with @nazliakay.bsky.social, published in the Journal of Transport Geography.

In our latest study with Bahar Öz, we explored how individuals’ own sex roles and perceived driving skills relate to stereotypes about female and male drivers. Understanding these perceptions is key to addressing bias, promoting gender equity in mobility, and improving road safety for everyone.

🚗 Driving in Türkiye is still a largely male-dominated activity, and that is linked to how people think and behave on the roads. You’ll often see headlines referring to “women drivers” in the news, reflecting deep-rooted sex stereotypes.

In this paper, we have looked into the psychometric properties of the Measure for Angry Drivers in a Chinese sample and explored the associations among metacognition, anger rumination, driving‐related anger (trait driving anger and aggressive anger expression), and crash risk.

The Path to Driving Aggression and Crash Risk: The Role of Metacognition and Anger Rumination in Anger Expression Among Chinese Drivers Driving anger and aggressive anger expression are prevalent in China, leading to road crashes. While potential associations between metacognitive beliefs about worry and control, anger rumination, an...

The Road Safety on Five Continents (RS5C) 2025 program is taking shape! Happening right here in Leeds, the conference will feature three days of poster and oral sessions, three keynotes, and six special sessions, bringing together global voices in road safety and transport research.

This year, two projects from the Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds and our @hfs-its-leeds.bsky.social team were funded by the RST. It was great to present alongside the brilliant Yee Mun Lee and showcase the impactful work happening across West Yorkshire!
