| Abstract: | Pedestrian safety is a well-known issue, such that many road safety associations emphasize
measures to improve this aspect. One of the main conflict points is pedestrian crossings, where
motorized and non-motorized traffic flows directly interact and where pedestrian attention and
reaction are two elements that can strongly influence their safety. Nowadays, these aspects are often
deviated by the use of smartphones to surf the Internet or social media. The aim of the present study
is to find out (1) whether and how intersection typology affects pedestrian behavior, both in terms of
attention and crossing performance, and (2) whether and how gaze and behavioral characteristics are
affected by smartphone use and social media browsing. To achieve this goal, eye-tracking technology
was used to obtain qualitative and quantitative information on the number of fixations, their duration,
and reaction times of pedestrians. Additionally, from the eye-tracking videos, it was possible to derive
pedestrian waiting times, crossing times, and speeds. Statistical tests were conducted to determine if
there is a significant difference in pedestrian behavior at the three different types of intersections and
in their behavior when using or not using their device. Results confirm the initial hypotheses and
quantify the difference in pedestrian gaze behavior and crossing performance when walking across
three different types of signalized crosswalks. |
