Signage plan to show pedestrians how autonomous vehicles motion

Abstract

In order to promote safety and communication between pedestrians and autonomous vehicles, we conducted an experiment using the 11 signs to verify which signs were easy for pedestrians to understand. A total of 60 subjects in each age group evaluated each sign, and we observed subjects' actions on each sign with virtual vehicles in the VR system "Large Space".

;The results showed that the signs indicating both pedestrian's and vehicles behavior were the easiest to understand and least likely to be mistaken.
