Assessing Tractors’ Active Safety in Serbia: A Driving Simulator Study
The active safety of tractors remains a major concern in rural road environments, where tractor drivers face high crash risks due to limited vehicle visibility. In Serbia, 1.4% of crashes involve tractors, mainly due to poor visibility (64.3%), lack of beacon lights, unsafe overtaking, and unmarked stopped tractors (14.3% each). These issues reduce safety, increase fuel consumption and emissions, and cause economic losses. A driving simulator study with 117 drivers examined how visibility equipment...

Analysis and Determination of the Lateral Distance Parameters of Vehicles When Overtaking an Electric Bicycle from the Point of View of Road Safety
Recent years have witnessed an increasing number of electric bicycles on the roads and a rise in the number of road crashes involving e-bicyclists. There are various causes of road crashes involving e-bicyclists. Out of the total number of fatalities in traffic, bicyclists account for 9% in the Republic of Serbia. Road crashes occurring when motor vehicles overtake bicyclists make up 13% of the total number of road crashes involving bicyclists. Having in mind the above-mentioned, an experimental...

Assessment of stimulus distance during driving
We make about 1,400 decisions in one hour of the day, which makes about 35,000 decisions in 24 hours. The driver's task in traffic is to assess traffic situations and act in accordance with their decisions in traffic. One of the most common causes of traffic accidents is "misjudgment of road users". The perception of space is one of the prerequisites for safe and successful driving. In order to investigate the mentioned issue, the authors of this paper conducted an experimental study with the aim...
