An Investigation of Peer Influences on Risky Child and Adolescent Pedestrian Road Crossing
Over the next several years, there will be rapid growth in the market for heads-up displays (HUDs) for drivers. Such devices include augmented reality windshields (e.g., BMW HUD), portable aftermarket ...
Can Augmented Reality Help Pedestrians Safely Cross Multiple Lanes of Traffic?
Assistive technology offers a potential means of improving road safety for pedestrians. One type of assistive technology is the use of augmented reality (AR) displays to convey relevant traffic inform ...
Children’s Use of eHMI Displays to Guide Road-Crossing Decisions
Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology is advancing at a rapid pace. One concern is how AVs will communicate their intentions to vulnerable road users such as pedestrians. Past work has focused almost exc ...
Detailed Analysis of Roadway Users Interactions at Intersections with Flashing Yellow Arrows
Flashing Yellow Arrows (FYA) on left turns have been found to improve the safety of permissive movements. Recently, cities have also started to use FYA on right turns as a way for making the interacti ...
Do Prohibitive Warnings Improve Road-crossing Safety for Texting and Non-texting Pedestrians?
Pedestrian injuries and deaths caused by collisions with motor vehicles are a major health problem in the United States (NHTSA, 2015). In 2013 alone, 4,735 pedestrians were killed and 66,000 were inju ...
Multi-modal Distributed Simulation Combining Cars, Bicyclists, and Pedestrians
Driving, bicycling, and pedestrian simulators have proven to be valuable tools for investigating the underlying causes of crashes and testing various engineering and education countermeasures designed ...
Using Augmented Reality to Help Older Adults Make Safe Road-Crossing Decisions
Pedestrian injuries and deaths caused by motor vehicles are a major concern worldwide. Older adults (ages 65+) encompassed 20% of all pedestrian fatalities in 2017. Assistive technology offers a poten ...
Using Simulation to Assess and Reduce Conflicts between Drivers and Bicyclists
UI/UM Contribution: Separated bicycle lanes, or cycle tracks, are increasing in popularity across the nation. When the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) became the first DOT to pub ...
Using Simulation to Study Communication between Autonomous Vehicles and Vulnerable Road Users
Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology is advancing at a rapid pace. One concern that has come to the forefront is how AVs will communicate and interact with vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and ...
