While traffic signals, signs, and road markings provide explicit guidelines for those operating in and around the roadways, some decisions, such as determinations of “who will go first,” are made by implicit negotiations between road users. In such situations, pedestrians are today often dependent on cues in drivers’ behavior such as eye contact, postures, and gestures. With the introduction of more automated functions and the transfer of control from the driver to the vehicle, pedestrians…

This work shows that besides the current standard of subjective validation by pedestrians of external human-machine interfaces on autonomous vehicles these interfaces can objectively be validated through the recording and differentiation of body motions.

A conceptual model was proposed to capture pedestrian’s dynamic road crossing decision-making when interacting with autonomous vehicles and to improve the theoretical framework, efforts are needed to understand how eHMIs support the formation and update of their situation awareness and how it affects pedestrian mental models of autonomous vehicles.

Anthropomorphic signals were identified as the preferred and effective modality in terms of pedestrians' interpretation of the communicated intent and their perceived sense of attention, confidence, and calmness, and exemplify a viable way for assimilating human factors research in urban mobility.
Gaze Patterns in Pedestrian Interaction with Vehicles: Towards Effective Design of External Human-Machine Interfaces for Automated Vehicles
- Computer ScienceAutomotiveUI
- 2019
A clear pattern of gaze behavior exists for pedestrians in looking at a vehicle during road-crossing situations as a function of the vehicle's distance, and the implications of this insight in the user-centered-design of optimal external Human-Machine-Interfaces for automated vehicles are discussed.

To sustain perceived safety when eye contact is discarded due to vehicle automation, it could be beneficial to provide pedestrians with the corresponding information in some other way (e.g., by means of an external vehicle interface).

It was found that in more than 90% of the cases pedestrians gaze at the approaching cars prior to crossing in non-signalized crosswalks, and the crossing action depends on additional factors such as time to collision, explicit driver's reaction or structure of the crosswalk.
