van Erp, J.B.F. (author), Paul, K.I. (author), Mioch, T. (author)Electronic travel aids (ETAs) can increase the safety and comfort of pedestrians who have a visual impairment by displaying obstacles through a vibrotactile navigation belt. Building a complete picture of relevant obstacles and finding a safe route requires ETA users to integrate vibrotactile cues over time and space in their tactile working...article 2020

Dey, D. (author), Martens, M.H. (author), Eggen, J.H. (author), Terken, J.M.B. (author)In this paper, we present the preliminary results of a study that aims to investigate the role of an approaching vehicle's behavior and outer appearance in determining pedestrians' decisions while crossing a street. Concerning appearance, some vehicles are designed to look more assertive than others, and it is believed that vehicle appearance...conference paper 2017

(author)This paper presents the results of a safety impact assessment, providing quantitative estimates of the safety impacts of ten intelligent transport systems (ITS) which were designed to improve safety, mobility and comfort of vulnerable road users (VRUs). The evaluation method originally developed to assess safety impacts of ITS for cars was now...article 2017

(author)Pedestrians and cyclists are the most unprotected road users and their injury risk in case of accidents is significantly higher than for other road users. The understanding of the influence and sensitivity between important variables describing a pedestrian crash is key for the development of more efficient and reliable safety systems. This...article 2015

(author)Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a real-life-based evaluation method, incorporating vulnerable road user (VRU) full-body loading to a vehicle with a deployable protection system in relevant test setups, and use this method to evaluate a prototype pedestrian and cyclist protection system. Methods: Based on accident data from severe...article 2014

Berkhoff, A.P. (author), van der Rots, R. (author)Quiet vehicles may be noticed relatively late and therefore constitute a potential risk for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and bicyclists. The ideal acoustic warning signal generator notifies vulnerable road users while minimizing noise pollution. Several sensor systems exist which are able to reveal the position of the vulnerable...conference paper 2013

van Schijndel-de Nooij, M. (author), de Hair-Buijssen, S.H.H.M. (author), Rodarius, C. (author), Fredriksson, R. (author)For the development of effective vehicle-related safety solutions to improve cyclist and pedestrian protection, essential information on impact locations, impact situations and cyclist and pedestrian kinematics in impacts with passenger cars is fundamental. Accidentology research showed that cyclists typically have a higher impact location, with...conference paper 2012

van Schijndel-de Nooij, M. (author), de Hair-Buijssen, S.H.H.M. (author), Verweij, R. (author), Mathevon, V. (author)In the Netherlands, annually 185 cyclists and 70 pedestrians are killed in traffic accidents, half of which due to an accident with a passenger car. The project SaveCAP runs a Sensor Field Test on vehicle safety systems designed to protect cyclists and pedestrians, either by avoiding an accident or by actions such as deploying a windshield...conference paper 2011
