      abstract     = {The European Union set itself a high aim in 2001 in terms
                      of its road safety policy with its objective of halving the
                      number of people killed on EU roads by the year 2010. Since
                      then a large part of the road safety work has consisted of
                      carrying out cause studies and developing strategies for
                      reducing the number of victims of road accidents. When
                      different types of roads are compared, country roads are the
                      most dangerous according to the latest accident figures. So
                      this is where the greatest need for action lies in order to
                      effectively reduce the number of accidents. By way of
                      example the present study focused on hazardous bends in
                      country roads, for which a cost-effective concept for
                      influencing speed behaviour and thus improving road safety
                      was developed and evaluated. A possible way of reducing
                      speed and consequently the number of accidents on country
                      roads is to influence the driver through acoustic and haptic
                      signals. These can be located both on the vehicle and on the
                      road. Internationally the use of transversal rumble strips
                      (TRS) as a warning signal is already being implemented
                      successfully in many cases. The designs however are mostly
                      based on experimental arrangements. The present study
                      considers not only the state of the technology with regard
                      to the use of TRS but also essential psychological
                      considerations which serve as a basis for an optimised
                      design of transversal rumble strips. The focus lies on the
                      awareness and risk perception of drivers. On the basis of
                      literature studies it is shown that haptic and acoustic
                      signals have a decisive – often underestimated – impact
                      on speed behaviour. So an active influence on speed level is
                      expected through a targeted alteration of these parameters.
                      Building upon basic research, different design variants of
                      TRS were examined and optimised with regard to their
                      physical effect. As a result of these analyses a design
                      variant was conceived which proved to be optimal regarding
                      its acoustic and haptic effect on the driver. The impact of
                      this design variant on speed behaviour was analysed and
                      evaluated in the framework of traffic-technical
                      investigations. The impact analysis was completed by
                      acceptance surveys. In the framework of this paper it could
                      be proved that transversal rumble strips represent a fast,
                      cost-effective alternative for exerting a positive influence
                      on speed behaviour and thus on road safety.},
