Abstract

In this study investigating the effect of driver behavior on performance of signalized intersections is aimed. For this purpose, a questionnaire is drawn up to assess simultaneously queue length and start response time data at three signalized intersections in Izmir city center. Especially start response times of drivers are tried to be modeled using various physiological scales which explain drivers' behavior. Analyses have shown that, as the age and experience of drivers increase, their perception of safety also increases. It is found that perception of safety changes between 39 similar to 50 years of age and with respect to this, start response times are extended and average delay values increase by approximately 20% at signalized intersections.
