What is it about?
This project aims to understand through the use of virtual reality and inertial motion capture, perceptual-motor and cognitive mechanisms involved during driver-pedestrian interactions from the driver’s point of view. We are particularly interested in how drivers regulate their behaviour and predict pedestrian’s intentions based on individual (age, gender, ...) and behavioural (walking speed, trajectory, ...) characteristics of the latter.

Why is it important?
To make progress in the fight against accidents and achieve the objectives set out by the member states of the European Union during Stockholm declaration about road safety in 2020.
Perspectives
The perspectives are threefold: (i) a theoretical scientific contribution to obstacle avoidance literature; (ii) applied scientific knowledge for public decision-makers; and (iii) the creation of a free access library of biological pedestrians movements.
