The paper investigates the effects of phone use (talking, texting, and listening to music) on the street-crossing behaviours of pedestrians and their inattentional blindness in Taiwan. Recent handsets with touchscreens, as well as more advanced featu... Read More about Texting and walking: a controlled field study of crossing behaviours and inattentional blindness in Taiwan..

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...
