Inattentional Blindness and road safety: the potential role of intelligent road studs in reducing accidents (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Llewellyn, R., & Ladyman, S. (2016, June). Inattentional Blindness and road safety: the potential role of intelligent road studs in reducing accidents. Presented at 11th ITS European Congress, Glasgow, UK

In-vehicle distraction is often the subject of debate in relation to road safety. Distractions outside of the vehicle, however, are often overlooked. Both situations result in cognitive capture, a form of 'Inattentional Blindness'. This paper investi...

Illegal pedestrian crossing at signalised junctions in urban areas: the impact of spatial factors. (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mayeux, A., Lovreglio, R., Saleh, W., & Fonzone, A. (2015, January). Illegal pedestrian crossing at signalised junctions in urban areas: the impact of spatial factors. Presented at Transportation Research Board 94th Annual Meeting

Much has still to be done to increase pedestrian safety. Illegal crossing at signalised junctions may increase the risk of accidents at the intersections where it takes place and induce dangerous habits. Therefore efforts to prevent such a harmful be...
