Abstract

This study analyzes pedestrian receptivity toward fully autonomous vehicles (FAVs) by developing and validating a pedestrian receptivity questionnaire for FAVs (PRQF).

This factor structure was verified by a confirmatory factor analysis and reliability of each subscale was confirmed (0.7
