Abstract
The publication is a summary of the test results, using top-of-the-range driving simulators in RID 4D project. Experiment methodology and example of research results were presented in the article entitled: "The use of simulator studies to assess the impact of ITS services on the behaviour of the road users". The project was implemented as part of the Road Innovation Development (RID) program organized and financed by the National Centre for Research and Development and General Directorate of National Roads and Motorways (contract No. DZP/RID-I-41/7/NCBR/2016). The results of the research were used to assess the impact of ITS services on the driver’s behaviour and to calibrate the simulation software Visum/Saturn/Vissim. The result of a series of experiments is a set of data including speed, speed changes, the length of the road section on which the driver maintained constant speed and additional information on the driver’s behaviour. Information for the drivers was presented on boards and signs of variable content. The vehicle speed was analyzed along a distance of 200 m, 30 m, and then at the location spot of the variable content sign/board and 200 m after the sign. The data was also recorded in the case of the traditional speed-limiting sign.

Based on the data recorded, the speed V1 was determined at a distance of 200 m before the board or sign, speed V2 at a distance of 30 m before the board or sign, speed V3 at the spot of the board or sign and speed V4 at a distance of 200 m behind the board or sign
Summary
The article presents selected results of the research carried out as part of the RID 4D project (contract number DZP/RID-I-41/7/NCBR/2016), implemented as part of the Road Innovation Development Program, financed jointly by the National Centre for Research and Development and the General Directorate of National Roads and Highways. One of the elements of the project was to determine the impact of information provided via road signs to the drivers, on the road safety, in particular on the behavior of drivers. For this purpose, the research has been carried out using high-end driving simulators that Motor Transport Institute has at its disposal. The results of the measurements made it possible to determine the impact of information and commands transmitted via traffic signs on the behavior of the drivers The results of these measurements were used to calibrate the micro, meso- and macrosymulation software for the road traffic, covering single. Simulation tests were carried out by the Gdańsk University of Technology which is one of the members of the consortium implementing the project
