However, violations of school bus regulations and school bus-related crashes often occur. Limited research has been conducted on the impact of the school bus stopping process on surrounding drivers\u2019 behavior. This study provides a driving simulator experiment to explore drivers\u2019 behaviors during the school bus stopping process under different traffic law awareness status, traffic volume status, and initial location status. Eight variables about behavior decision and kinetic parameters were assessed for analysis by a logistic regression model and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results show that the mean speed decreases and the number of people complying with the regulations increases after publicizing the regulations. The proportion of surrounding vehicles in the acceleration state increases, especially under the scenario that the traffic volume is large and the initial distance is far. This indicates that the enforcement of the regulations may stimulate unsafe driving behavior. The findings of this study could help policy makers to better understand the prevalence and compliance of current school bus stopping regulations among drivers and support improvements in the practical application of the regulations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph182312538","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]],"date-time":"2021-11-30T04:48:37Z","timestamp":1638247717000},"page":"12538","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Investigating the Effect of School Bus Stopping Process on Driver Behavior of Surrounding Vehicles Based on a Driving Simulator Experiment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yanyan","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Traffic Engineering, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yinjia","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Traffic Engineering, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Traffic Engineering, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuntong","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Traffic Engineering, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yao","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Traffic Engineering, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bingxin","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Traffic Engineering, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing 100124, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Hinch, J., McCray, L., Aloke, P., Sullivan, L., Willke, D., Hott, C., and Elias, J.
