The Role of Context in Understanding and Predicting Pedestrian Behavior in Urban Traffic Scenes
… between AVs and other road users, in particular pedestrians, to resolve various traffic ambiguities. To interact with pedestrians, AVs must be able to understand the objectives of pedestrians and predict their forthcoming actions. In this dissertation, we investigate the role of context on …

Evaluation of PC-Based Virtual Reality as a Tool to Analyze Pedestrian Behavior at Midblock Crossings
… used to accurately mimic and therefore, observe behavior at a crosswalk. Toward that goal, the following research tasks were carried out: a) Designing a 3D virtual crosswalk and recruiting volunteers to wear the HTC Vive headset and to walk across the street, b) Setting up cameras near the …

Traffic Flow on Escalators and Moving Walkways: Quantifying and Modeling Pedestrian Behavior in a Continuously Moving System
… walkways, a microsimulation-based model of pedestrian behavior in these moving belt systems was created. In addition to implementing walking and stair climbing capabilities from existing pedestrian flow literature, the model utilized following behavior and lane change decision logic taken …

Real-time predictive modeling and robust avoidance of pedestrians with uncertain, changing intentions
… structure of these environments, drivers and pedestrians tend to exhibit a common set of motion patterns. The challenges are therefore to learn these motion patterns such that they can be used to predict future trajectories, and to plan safe paths that incorporate these predictions. This …

Effectiveness of Automatic Emergency Braking for Protection of Pedestrians and Bicyclists in the U.S.
… fatalities in 2018, of which 20% were pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users (VRUs) [1]. Vulnerable road users are non-vehicle occupants who, because they are not enclosed in a vehicle, are at higher risk of injury in traffic crashes. While overall traffic fatalities …

Toward improved transit station access in pedestrian-unfriendly environments
… stations in these compromised locations, while pedestrian access has often been neglected. This research examines the untapped potential of increased ridership and expanded ridership markets that can be realized through improved pedestrian access to transit stations. It finds that wider benefits …

Interaction between pedestrians and highly automated vehicles: effects of external human-machine interfaces and vehicle size
Pedestrians will interact with automated vehicles of higher automation levels on the road in forthcoming urban traffic. In highly automated vehicles, vehicle automation takes over the driving task, and the former human driver becomes a passenger. The challenge of introducing highly automated …

A Dataset of Vehicle and Pedestrian Trajectories from Normal Driving and Crash Events in One Year of Virginia Traffic Camera Data
… to study normal driving. Normal driver behavior is important for traffic planners, vehicle designers, and in the form of numerical driver models is vital information for the development of automated vehicles. Traffic cameras installed by state departments of transportation have already …

Perceptions and Evaluation of an Urban Environment for Pedestrian Friendliness: A Case Study
… started to develop and refocus plans toward pedestrian-oriented policies approaches, results from this particular study determined that the quality of pedestrian environments cannot solely be determined by using available assessment tools and recommend additional analytical methods used in …
