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
