This Master thesis report is the research conducted at the Linköping University (LiU) in the Cognitive Engineering group. This report describes and discusses the possible driving variations at T-intersections. In this study we tested how voice based command (GPS) system and traffic lights did influence the driving behavior. This computational study was conducted on a multi user driving simulation environment at Linköping University. A total of 12 groups each consisting of 4 persons participated in this study. The participants also completed a survey on paper with their valuable comments. To study the driving behavior we analyzed the conflict indicators at the Tintersection. We selected Post Encroachment Time (PET), speed and acceleration as good conflict indicators.
