Arrival-time judgments on multiple-lane streets: the failure to ignore irrelevant traffic
2014
How do road users decide whether or not they have enough time to cross a multiple-lane street with multiple approaching vehicles? Temporal judgments have been investigated for single cars approaching an intersection; however, close to nothing is known about how street crossing decisions are being made when several vehicles are simultaneously approaching in two adjacent lanes. This task is relatively common in urban environments. We report two simulator experiments in which drivers had to judge whether it would be safe to initiate street crossing in such cases. Matching traffic gaps (i.e., the temporal separation between two consecutive vehicles) were presented either with cars approaching o…
Un témoignage de gestes funéraires antiques à Bonneuil-en-France (Val-d’Oise)
2022
Eine Suchschnittprospektion bei Bonneuil-en-France (Val-d’Oise), hat eine stark holzkohlehaltige Schicht zum Vorschein gebracht, die reich an verbrannten oder durch Feuereinwirkung beeinträchtigten archäologischem Fundgut war. Dieses kann in die zweite Hälfte des 1. oder an den Beginn des 2. Jh. n. Chr. datiert werden. Die archäologische Fundstelle, die sich im Talboden am Zusammenfluss von Crould und Morée befindet, gehört zu einer seit der späten Hallstattzeit genutzten Gräberlandschaft. Mehrere Argumente sprechen dafür, dass es sich hier um eine Schüttung von Überresten einer Brandbestattung handelt, bei der durch ein Auslesen der Leichenbrandreste nur wenige menschliche Knochen erhalten…
Crossing a Multi-Lane Street: Irrelevant Cars Increase Unsafe Behavior
2011
Before crossing a road or an intersection, road users have to determine among the surrounding traffic whether or not they have enough time to safely complete their maneuver. Temporal judgments have been investigated for single cars approaching an intersection, however, close to nothing is known about how street-crossing decisions are being made when several vehicles are simultaneously approaching in two adjacent lanes. We conducted a simulator experiment in which observers indicated whether or not they had enough time to complete safe street crossing. Traffic gaps were presented either with a single or two oncoming cars on different lanes, in such a way that in all cases, only the shortest …
