ABSTRACT

The conventional form of traffic interaction undergoes a notable change with the integration of automated driving systems as a new road user, into the public roads. This may be more challenging during the transition phase, while manual-driven vehicles are still on the road, and the road infrastructure is not fully ready for merging such vehicles into the traffic patterns. Therefore, developing a robust interaction method is crucial to ensure the safety of those users interacting with automated driving systems and to ensure the efficiency of these systems on the road. For this purpose, the interaction of automated driving systems with pedestrians, as one of the most vulnerable road user groups, is investigated in this paper. Previous studies have shown the necessity for a comprehensive understanding of pedestrian behaviours and intentions, their responses to different stimuli on the road, the factors influencing their decisions during the interaction, and various external communication techniques among road users. As a result, a wide range of factors related to the communication environment, pedestrian characteristics, and existing communication methods have been found to be significant in the decision-making process of pedestrians.

摘要

随着自动驾驶系统作为新的道路使用者融入公共道路，传统的交通交互形式发生了显着变化。这在过渡阶段可能更具挑战性，而手动驾驶车辆仍在道路上行驶，道路基础设施尚未完全准备好将此类车辆融入交通模式。因此，开发稳健的交互方法对于确保与自动驾驶系统交互的用户的安全以及这些系统在道路上的效率至关重要。为此，本文研究了自动驾驶系统与作为最脆弱的道路使用者群体之一的行人的交互。先前的研究表明，有必要全面了解行人的行为和意图，他们对道路上不同刺激的反应，在互动过程中影响他们决策的因素，以及道路使用者之间的各种外部沟通技巧。结果，与通信环境、行人特征和现有通信方法相关的广泛因素被发现在行人的决策过程中具有重要意义。
