Street crossing behavior in younger and older pedestrians: an eye- and head-tracking study
BACKGROUND Crossing a street can be a very difficult task for older pedestrians. With increased age and potential cognitive decline, older people take the decision to cross a street primarily based on vehicles' distance, and not on their speed. Furthermore, older pedestrians tend to overestimate their own walking speed, and could not adapt it according to the traffic conditions. Pedestrians' be...
متن کاملAge-related differences in street-crossing safety before and after training of older pedestrians.
International accident statistics indicate that elderly pedestrians make up an extremely vulnerable road-user group. Past research has shown that older adults make many unsafe street-crossing decisions and adopt insufficient safety margins, especially when vehicles are approaching at high speed. Apart from studies on road design and speed-limit countermeasures, there is surprisingly no road-saf...
متن کاملPROCEEDINGS of the Fifth International Driving Symposium on Human Factors in Driver Assessment, Training and Vehicle Design A SIMULATOR-BASED STREET-CROSSING TRAINING FOR OLDER PEDESTRIANS: SHORT AND LONG TERM EFFECTS
The study aimed at developing and assessing a training method to improve the safety of elderly pedestrians with a simulator-based street-crossing technique specially designed to their needs and difficulties. Twenty seniors were enrolled in a street-crossing training program, and twenty other seniors were assigned to the control group (internet-use training). Before the training, immediately aft...
متن کاملCrosswalk markings and the risk of pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions in older pedestrians.
CONTEXT Motor vehicles struck and killed 4739 pedestrians in the United States in the year 2000. Older pedestrians are at especially high risk. OBJECTIVE To determine whether crosswalk markings at urban intersections influence the risk of injury to older pedestrians. DESIGN Case-control study in which the units of study were crossing locations. SETTING Six cities in Washington and Califor...
متن کاملTemporal precision of neuronal information in a rapid perceptual judgment.
In many situations, such as pedestrians crossing a busy street or prey evading predators, rapid decisions based on limited perceptual information are critical for survival. The brevity of these perceptual judgments constrains how neuronal signals are integrated or pooled over time because the underlying sequence of processes, from sensation to perceptual evaluation to motor planning and executi...
