It’s also about timing! When do pedestrians want to receive navigation instructions

ABSTRACT Despite the increased research interest in wayfinding assistance systems, research on the appropriate point in time or space to automatically present a route instruction remains a…

Estimating density limits for walking pedestrians keeping a safe interpersonal distancing

With people trying to keep a safe distance from others due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the way in which pedestrians walk has completely changed since the pandemic broke out1,2. In this work, laboratory…

Linking nighttime outdoor lighting attributes to pedestrians' feeling of safety: An interactive survey approach

Higher levels of illumination and uniformity positively affect FoS, while lights perceived as warm tend to generate higher FoS than Lights perceived as cold, which may guide future illumination polices aimed at promoting energy efficiency while ensuring urban sustainability.

Improving the Pedestrian’s Perceptions of Safety on Street Crossings. Psychological and Neurophysiological Effects of Traffic Lanes, Artificial Lighting, and Vegetation

Analysis of how pedestrians are affected by number of traffic lanes, lighting colour temperature, and nearby vegetation as they cross roads shows that combined effects produce different results to those obtained from the analysis of individual elements.

The Behavioral Response to Increased Pedestrian and Staying Activity in Public Space: A Field Experiment

William Whyte originally hypothesized that the presence of people in a public space would attract more people. Contemporary planners now refer to “sticky streets” as places where pedestrians are…

The Effects of Multiple Factors on Elderly Pedestrians’ Speed Perception and Stopping Distance Estimation of Approaching Vehicles

Compared with young adults, older pedestrians were found to have smaller accurate estimation intervals that varied by multidimensional influencing factors and thus resulted in missing road-Crossing opportunities at lower vehicles’ speeds and increasing road-crossing dangers at higher speeds.

Effect of birdsongs and traffic noise on pedestrian walking speed during different seasons

The results did not show significant differences between the crowded city noise condition and the real outdoor condition, and the congruence between acoustic and visual stimuli, and raise questions regarding the restorative function of urban greenery during different seasons.
