Context: Pedestrian crossing on non-designated crosswalks
Problem: Pedestrian injury risk
Need: Ensure pedestrian safety/trust/experience
Actions: Research-through-design (Rtd), Literature Review, Mock-up, Focus Group, Hyperreal Prototyping, VR Simulation with Unity, User Testing, Questionnaires, Semi-structured Interview, Statistical Analysis with SPSS, and Semantic Analysis
Solution Proposal: Two drone-based Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solutions are proposed to enhance pedestrian safety. These interfaces will communicate vital safety information, including bi-directional warnings, timed pedestrian paths, traffic signal simulation, and notification text, primarily through screen displays with text and projection displays.
