Behavioral Safety Research for Traffic Safety
Description
During this project, HSRC will design a literature review to investigate knowledge related to pedestrian and bicycle safety in relation to interactions with automated vehicles (AVs) in order to identify and synthesize current literature and identify research gaps. The project team will develop relevant search topics and terms, and create a plan for searching and reviewing the literature in a comprehensive and objective way. The team will coordinate with project partners to conduct the review, develop an outline for the report, and create draft and final versions of the literature review/synthesis. Throughout the project, the team will coordinate with the project sponsor (NHTSA) and participate in project meetings (including a kickoff and final briefing), work planning, and progress reporting.
RENCI's Role
Ashok Krishnamurthy is a subject matter expert assisting in the literature review and analysis of vision and other sensor systems that are used in AVs to ensure pedestrian.bicyclist safety.
