Pedestrian distraction: Mobile phone use and its associations with other risky crossing behaviours and conflict situations

Long T. Truong et al.

Summary: Pedestrian distraction is associated with risky crossing behaviors and safety outcomes. The study found that distracted pedestrians are more likely to not observe traffic but less likely to violate traffic signals or cross outside designated crosswalks. These findings suggest the presence of risk compensation behaviors among distracted pedestrians, and mobile phone distraction has a small yet significant effect on conflict situations.

Impacts of visual and cognitive distractions and time pressure on pedestrian crossing behaviour: A simulator study

Kai Tian et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of visual-manual and auditory-cognitive distractions on pedestrian crossing behavior and safety in a controlled environment. The results showed that these two types of distractions impact pedestrian safety differently, with time pressure also leading to an increase in unsafe decisions.

Guiding drivers towards safer driving speed: Exploiting visual dominance in speed adaptation

Anna -Lena Kohler et al.

Summary: Inappropriate speed is a main cause of accidents, as drivers are often unaware of potential risks due to inadequate speed. This study examines the effect of visuo-spatial stimuli on speed perception and suggests that both static lights and lights moving towards the driver can reduce driving speed, but there is no significant difference between them.

Unsafe behaviours in Iranian adult pedestrians

Fateme Zareharofteh et al.

Summary: The study revealed that pedestrians in cities display an average of 4.8 high-risk behaviors, with not looking left and right, not using pedestrian bridges, and crossing crosswalks being the most common. Roundabouts were found to be where pedestrians exhibited more risky behaviors, with a higher likelihood of risky crossing behavior compared to intersections. Additionally, pedestrians were more likely to cross streets along with others in the evening than in the morning.

Risky pedestrian behaviour and its relationship with road infrastructure and age group: An observational analysis

Diego A. Escobar et al.

Summary: Research on road safety and pedestrian behavior has been focused in high-income countries, while its implementation in low- and middle-income countries helps to develop literature on these issues; this study in Manizales, Colombia analyzed pedestrian behavior at seven high-crash locations near schools, finding that most behaviors are age-independent, except near high-motorized flow areas.

Children's street crossing performance when auditory information about traffic is lacking

Barbara A. Morrongiello et al.

Summary: The lack of traffic sounds did not affect the inter-vehicle gap size that children crossed into, but it did result in slower initiations and more high-risk outcomes. This study suggests that traffic sounds significantly contribute to enhance children's safety when crossing streets, and anything that interferes with children accessing auditory-based traffic information could increase their risk of pedestrian injury.

Research on intervention methods for children's street-crossing behaviour: Application and expansion of the theory of behaviour spectrums

Kang Jiang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore whether an intervention programme based on the theory of behavior spectrums can improve the street-crossing skills of primary school children. The results showed that compared with the control group, the intervention in the experimental group led to increased visual attention to the traffic areas on the left and right sides of the zebra crossing, resulting in reduced unsafe crossing behaviors.

Smartwatches are more distracting than mobile phones while driving: Results from an experimental study

Mathieu Brodeur et al.

Summary: A study compared the distraction caused by using smartwatches and mobile phones while driving, finding that notifications on smartwatches are more distracting than on phones. Eye tracking and driving simulation experiments revealed that communicating through vocal assistants is the least distracting way while driving.

Acceptance of visual and audio interventions for distracted pedestrians

Gregoire S. Larue et al.

Summary: The study found that interventions can reduce distracted pedestrian behavior at intersections by reminding pedestrians to pay attention to trains. Participants perceived these reminders as useful and easy to use, leading to positive intentions to use the technology and resulting in improved crossing behaviors.
