1. 1. Automatic context-dependent driver attention monitoring using eye tracking and digital maps

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Anna Jonsson; Linnéa Holmqvist; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Driver distraction is a contributing factor to car accidents here a warning system could potentially prevent some of these accidents by making the driver aware of distraction and redirecting the focus back to driving-related activities. The purpose of this work is to better understand where drivers direct their attention while driving and where the attention should be directed for the driver to be considered attentive. READ MORE

   Abstract : Is it possible to increase traffic flows and decrease stand stills in rush hour traffic by tweaking existing traffic light signals? A vehicle’s engine running on idle is not useful in physical terms and emits unnecessary exhausts. By investigating and observing signal phase times on site in Hangzhou, China, an effort was made to find out if it was possible to get better flow and thus lower emissions by changing the traffic signal programs.

4. 3. Designing eHMI for trucks : How to convey the truck’s automated driving mode to pedestrians

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

   Author : Dardan Dauti; [2021]
   Keywords : Automated driving; External HMI; Human-Machine interface; Autonomous trucks; Automated heavy vehicle; Pedestrian interactions; eHMI- design;

   Abstract : If automated vehicles are to be introduced on public roads, they need to be able to communicate appropriately with other road users. This can be done using various interfaces and by communicating various messages. Previous research has mainly investigated design of such communication for automated passenger cars. READ MORE

5. 4. PreCro : A Pedestrian Crossing Robot

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Abstract : For people who suffer from visual impairment, getting around in traffic can be a great struggle. The robot PeCro, short for Pedestrian Crossing, was created as an aid for these people to use at pedestrian crossings equipped with traffic lights. READ MORE

6. 5. Cycling as a Cooperative Act: Observing cyclists' interactions with pedestrians at a zebra crossing in Stockholm

   University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

   Author : Edward Prichard; [2020]
   Keywords : cycling; traffic planning; active travel; observational study; Stockholm; observiaire;

   Abstract :   Cycling is undergoing a welcome renaissance, especially in urban contexts. However, there are tensions, in relation to pedestrians, which could negatively affect cycling’s growth. This thesis observes the social interactions and physical reactions of cyclists when co-present with pedestrians at a zebra crossing in central Stockholm. READ MORE
