Not All Synthetic Data Are Equal: Expert-Committee Audit Screening for Imbalanced Crash-Injury-Severity Prediction in Automated Driving Systems
Zewei Li, Qiaoqiao Ren, Hang Yang +3
Automated driving systems (ADSs) are increasingly operating on public roads, raising safety concerns, yet reliable prediction of crash injury severity remains difficult because cra…
TransCAVE-E: A distributed virtual reality testbed for adaptive external human-machine interfaces
Yun Ye, Zexuan Li, Haoyang Liang +3
External human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) are evolving from predefined displays toward adaptive communication strategies that respond to changing traffic and road-user states. This…
Occlusion-induced risk and interventions in pedestrian-autonomous truck interactions on multi-lane roads: A virtual reality study
Yun Ye, Yuan Che, S. C. Wong +2
Autonomous trucks (ATs) may introduce distinct pedestrian-safety risks because of their large physical dimensions, constrained braking capability, limited driver-based communicatio…
Wait or cross? Understanding the influence of behavioral tendency, trust, and risk perception on pedestrian gap-acceptance of automated truck platoons
Yun Ye, Yuan Che, Haoyang Liang +2
Although automated trucks have the potential to improve freight efficiency, reduce costs, and address driver shortages, organizing two or more trucks in a convoy has raised conside…
Are eHMIs always helpful? Investigating how eHMIs interfere with pedestrian behavior on multi-lane streets: An eye-tracking virtual reality experiment
Yun Ye, Zexuan Li, Panagiotis Angeloudis +3
Appropriate communication is crucial for efficient and safe interactions between pedestrians and autonomous vehicles (AVs). External human-machine interfaces (eHMIs) on AVs, which…
Enhancing Safety in Automated Ports: A Virtual Reality Study of Pedestrian-Autonomous Vehicle Interactions under Time Pressure, Visual Constraints, and Varying Vehicle Size
Yuan Che, Mun On Wong, Xiaowei Gao +2
Autonomous driving improves traffic efficiency but presents safety challenges in complex port environments. This study investigates how environmental factors, traffic factors, and…
