Researchers have predicted that “vulnerable road users”(VRUs) such as pedestrians will
feel less vulnerable and thus take more risks around autonomous vehicles (AVs) than …

This work presents a simulation model for unsignalized crosswalks which takes into account
collisions between vehicles and pedestrians, thus allowing to assess the estimated yearly …

Shared space is becoming an increasingly well-accepted approach to street design,
pursuing improvement of street uses on foot without restricting other modes of movement …

Shared spaces aim to reduce the dominance of motor vehicles by promoting
pedestrian/cyclist activity and minimizing segregation between road users. Despite the …

Modifying the built environment to make communities more walkable remains one strategy
to promote physical activity. These modifications may have the added benefit of reducing the …

To provide safe and comfortable walking environments on narrow streets without sidewalks,
the Seoul city government has implemented the Pedestrian Priority Street (PPS) projects …

Shared spaces for active mobility prioritize the safety and comfort of vulnerable road users
by segregating them from motorized vehicles. However, the diverse speed regimes of …

The effect that the physical characteristics of urban design have on the pedestrian's
perceptions of safety is a fundamental aspect of city planning. This is particularly so with …

This paper presents the findings of a qualitative analysis using on-street perception and
