With the advent of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on public roads, the frequency of interactions
between these AVs and pedestrians will increase. One example of such an interaction is at …

How will pedestrians from different regions interact with an approaching autonomous
vehicle? Understanding differences in pedestrian culture and responses can help inform …

Objective Right-of-way negotiation between drivers and pedestrians often relies on explicit
(eg, waving) and implicit (eg, kinematic) cues that signal intent. Since effective driver …

With autonomous cars being released into the wild, the question is how they integrate with
conventional participants in traffic, such as pedestrians. For accident-free traffic, it is …

Accurate pedestrian crossing intention prediction is critical for autonomous vehicles and
advanced driver assistance systems. In multi-pedestrian and multi-vehicle interaction …

In this PhD thesis, we investigate how pedestrians will behave in a shared space with an
autonomous vehicle, by modeling and simulating realistic pedestrians' behavior. Our …

Driverless Passenger Shuttles are operating as a public transport alternative in the town of
Sion, Switzerland since June'16, and traversing the populated commercial and residential …

Communication among road users smooths interactions, improves efficiency, and mitigates
risk. Eye contact and waving may be the most salient of this communication, but more often …

Interactions between pedestrians, cyclists, and human-driven vehicles have become a major
concern for traffic safety over the years. The upcoming age of autonomous vehicles will …

Connected and automated vehicles are expected to be at the core of future intelligent
transportation systems. One of the main practical challenges for self-driving vehicles on …
