Abstract

An ITS animated LED signal designed to alert drivers to the presence of pedestrians crossing in front of them was evaluated at the exit to an indoor parking garage and a midblock-crosswalk location. Data were collected on each of 25 drivers per daily session at the parking-garage exit and two sets of 20 pedestrians and at least as many drivers during each daily session of the experiment. Analysis of the data revealed that the ITS eyes display is inherently understood by drivers and produced a significant increase in yielding behavior and a reduction in conflicts.
