- Abstract (EN)
- Drivers overtaking cyclists on rural roads create a hazardous scenario due to the potentially high impact speeds and, therefore, severe consequences in case of a crash [1]. Díaz Fernández et al. analyzed crashes between cyclists and motorized vehicles from various data sources, including insurance reports and crash databases, and concluded that this scenario is particularly dangerous and new safety countermeasures are needed [2]. Other studies have shown that particularly the side-swipe risk through. aerodynamic forces due to low lateral clearance and high overtaking speed affects both the objective and subjective safety of the cyclist [3], [4]. Furthermore, recent work by Gildea et al. showed through a self-reported survey among cyclists that a significant amount of side-swipe crashes and near-crashes with lower severity of injuries remains unreported [ 5]. This underlines the importance of investigating further in what situations the side-swipe risk for cyclists increases and how it can be decreased effectively. Previous research investigated how driver behavior in overtaking is influenced by infrastructural elements such as lane widths [6], road markings [6], [7], parked cars [7], and the presence of road crossings. However, the effect of sight distance on driver behavior has not gained much attention yet. Therefore, this work analyzed the influence of sight distance on driver behavior and the resulting safety implications for the overtaken cyclist.
