Impressions Pedestrians Have during Daytime, Twilight, and Nighttime

Abstract

Traffic accidents between pedestrians and vehicles occur frequently during twilight. I have been researching this issue from the pedestrian’s perspective, focusing on their visual behavior. As a result, it has become clear that pedestrians are slower to notice vehicles during twilight than during daytime and nighttime. This is an unconscious perception for the pedestrian. With this in mind, this study analyzes pedestrians’ unconscious impressions and compares them during daytime, twilight, and nighttime.
