Elevated road segment (ERS) passage design may provide enhanced connectivity for amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionDesigns for safe and effective road crossing structures for small animals are typically under-road microtunnels and culverts which have varying levels of effectiveness reported in the scientific literature.

What affects pedestrian crossing difficulty at urban intersections in a developing country?

open access: yesIATSS Research, 2022
In developing countries, road traffic crashes involving pedestrians have become a foremost concern. At present, road safety assessment plans and selection of interventions are primarily restricted to traditional approaches that depend on the ...

To cross or not to cross: modeling wildlife road crossings as a binary response variable with contextual predictors

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Roads are significant barriers to landscape‐scale movements of individuals or populations of many wildlife taxa. The decision by an animal near a road to either cross or not cross may be influenced by characteristics of the road, environmental conditions,

On-road driving studies to understand why drivers behave as they do at regional rail level crossings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Improving safety at rail level crossings is an important part of both road and rail safety strategies. While low in number, crashes between vehicles and trains at level crossings are catastrophic events typically involving multiple fatalities and serious

A qualitative investigation of older pedestrian views of influences on their road crossing safety [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
With Australia's population rapidly ageing, older pedestrian safety has begun to receive greater attention from road safety researchers. However, reliance on simulator studies and observational techniques has limited current understanding of why older ...

Analysis of Pedestrian Gap Acceptance and Crossing Decision in Kuala Lumpur

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Pedestrians are most vulnerable of all road users. This research aims to investigate and model pedestrian road crossing behaviour at crossing facilities. In particular, they have two aspects of pedestrians crossing behaviour are examined, namely the size

Ranking Crossing Scenario Complexity for eHMIs Testing: A Virtual Reality Study

open access: yesMultimodal Technologies and Interaction, 2023
External human–machine interfaces (eHMIs) have the potential to benefit AV–pedestrian interactions. The majority of studies investigating eHMIs have used relatively simple traffic environments, i.e., a single pedestrian crossing in front of a single eHMI
