Abstract

The overall aim of the current study is to explore the impact of different coloured flashing light combinations (displayed on IRS vehicles) on driver behaviour. The research objectives are:
1. To examine differences in driver behaviour (speed) associated with different coloured flashing light displays on VR IRS vehicles.
2. To determine the broader impact of potentially extending red and blue light displays to VR IRS.
