Abstract

To analyze the influence of right of way and automated vehicle (AV) deceleration maneuvers on pedestrians’ behavior, a virtual reality study was conducted. Participants were asked to press a button when they understood the intention of an approaching AV, and to rate the driving behavior after each trial. Results showed that the AV’s driving behavior was able to communicate an intention. If the AV decelerates for pedestrians, it should decelerate early. When right of way is not defined, the AV should adapt to the expectations of pedestrians (e.g. not drive too fast). At a zebra crossing, participants expect the AV to communicate at an early stage that they are allowed to go first.
