Do detection-based warning strategies improve vehicle yielding behavior at uncontrolled midblock crosswalks?

• Detection-based strategies significantly improved drivers yielding rates. LED and VMS conditions were helpful in reducing the vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. effective terms of drivers’ speed reduction. Do detection-based warning improve vehicle behavior at uncontrolled midblock crosswalks? Pedestrians being most vulnerable road users account for a large proportion injuries fatalities from traffic crashes. are involved around one-third whole coming crashes state Qatar. In areas with crosswalks, it is very crucial to alertness behavior. The objective this driving simulator study investigate impact pedestrian detection pavement markings on high-speed crosswalks. To end, an untreated condition (i.e. Control) was compared three treatment conditions. treated included two strategies, i.e., advance variable message sign (VMS) lights, encircled. Each tested yield/stop controlled marked crosswalk situations, i.e. vs. without present. experiment conducted using Qatar University. total, 67 volunteers possessing valid Qatari license participated study. Different analyses interactions, speed, variations acceleration/deceleration lateral position. results showed that both increasing rates up 98.4 % conflicts significantly. Furthermore, treatments motivating reduce advance. Considering findings study, we recommend as potentially solutions safety
