Stopping by looking: A driver-pedestrian interaction study in a coupled simulator using head-mounted displays with eye-tracking

Automated vehicles (AVs) can perform low-level control tasks but are not always capable of proper decision-making. This paper presents a concept of eye-based maneuver control for AV-pedestrian interaction. Previously, it was unknown whether the AV should conduct a stopping maneuver when the driver looks at the pedestrian or looks away from...

A two-agent VR study: the effects of driver eye gaze visualisation on AV-pedestrian interaction

Problem statement. The introduction of automated vehicles (AVs) changes the role of the driver and may cause a lack of social interaction with pedestrians. This study proposes a concept where the AV is manoeuvre-based controlled via eye gaze, and the AV driver’s gaze is visualised for the driver and pedestrians. However, it was unknown if gaze...
