Interdependence in Vehicle-Pedestrian Encounters and its Implications for Vehicle Automation

Joshua E. Domeyer et al.

Summary: Communication among road users is crucial for safety and efficiency. The introduction of vehicle automation may disrupt this communication, emphasizing the need for evaluation. Effective communication in vehicle automation can facilitate its acceptance and integration into society.

Interdependence of driver and pedestrian behavior in naturalistic roadway negotiations

T. Zach Noonan et al.

Summary: This paper examines the interdependence of pedestrian-driver dyads across different intersection types, finding that the level of protection at intersections affects the behavior of driver-pedestrian interactions. Context mediates the negotiation required between drivers and pedestrians, with unprotected crossings showing more interdependent behavior compared to designated crossings.

Road users rarely use explicit communication when interacting in today's traffic: implications for automated vehicles

Yee Mun Lee et al.

Summary: This study investigated the communication strategies used by drivers and pedestrians while crossing the road, highlighting the infrequent use of explicit communication techniques and the reliance on vehicle-based movement information. The findings suggest that pedestrians are more likely to use cues from the movement of vehicles when crossing the road.
