“…In addition, in traditional vehicle-pedestrian interactions, pedestrians receive nonverbal cues from the driver to ensure safe interactions. Informal communication channels from the driver including facial expression, eye gaze and contact, gestures and body movement, and possibly voice and tone of speech, can reassure the pedestrian about the driver's awareness and the imminent vehicle's actions [9,10,14,23,26,28].…”

Drivers use nonverbal cues such as vehicle speed, eye gaze, and hand gestures to communicate awareness and intent to pedestrians. Conversely, in autonomous vehicles, drivers can be distracted or absent, leaving pedestrians to infer awareness and intent from the vehicle alone. In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of interfaces (beyond vehicle movement) that explicitly communicate awareness and intent of autonomous vehicles to pedestrians, focusing on crosswalk scenarios. We conducted a preliminary study to gain insight on designing interfaces that communicate autonomous vehicle awareness and intent to pedestrians. Based on study outcomes, we developed four prototype interfaces and deployed them in studies involving a Segway and a car. We found interfaces communicating vehicle awareness and intent: (1) can help pedestrians attempting to cross; (2) are not limited to the vehicle and can exist in the environment; and (3) should use a combination of modalities like visual, auditory, and physical.

“…Pedestrians who want to cross the street without a crossing aid use eye contact to ensure that an approaching driver sees them. If the driver returns the eye contact, pedestrians assume that they have been seen and that the driver will act accordingly [7].…”

“…Moreover, the multiplication of these means of transport highlights the problem of vulnerable road users which has led to the introduction of the "principe de prudence" (principle of caution) toward them in the Highway Code of July 2008 ("The principle of caution of the user toward the most vulnerable" Act of 2008-754, July 30, 2008. The pedestrian is particularly exposed in the field of accidentology and has been the subject of studies using different approaches (Gaymard, Andrés, & Nzobounsana, 2011;Gaymard, Boucher, Nzobounsana, Greffier, & Fournela, 2012;Holland & Hill, 2007;Khan, Jawaid, Chotoni, & Luby, 1999;Krotosky & Trivedi, 2007;Maeda et al, 2009;Schmidt & Färber, 2009;Thompson, Fraser & Howarth, 1985). However, as Tom, Auberlet, and Brémond (2008) point out, pedestrian-vehicle interactions are not analyzed by most of the simulation models even though these interactions are crucial.…”

This research is concerned with the problem of pedestrians as vulnerable road users. It falls within the study of social representations and risk. In this study, the representation of pedestrians by both young and experienced drivers was analyzed. A questionnaire of eleven little stories was devised and used to contextualize the environment more clearly. The participants had to make up an ending for the story according to their own behavior or feelings in each situation. Multiple correspondence analysis via the categorization of the verbatim accounts reveals homogeneity in the reactions and feelings of both groups. This homogeneity reflects the importance of civil attitudes in situations of interaction since they call on the notion of "respect. " Finally, the qualitative approach of the little stories highlights the place of emotions in specific driver-pedestrian interaction contexts.
