The Study analyzes the conduct of eight drivers while driving over pedestrian crossings at dusk and at night. The monitored vehicle drives over a modern, horizontally and vertically marked pedestrian crossing in a town. The pedestrian crossing is illuminated from the left side of the vehicles driving direction. For protection of the pedestrians, there is an island in the middle of the road, marked with a Keep Right sign. The drivers optical responses to various impulses during test trips are monitored using a special device named Viewpointsystem, GmbH that tracks changes in the drivers perspective. The individual drivers behavioral strategy when driving over the pedestrian crossing is thereupon evaluated focusing on the mode of the drivers navigation and his reaction to crossing pedestrians. The degree of danger of each traffic scenario is assessed and juxtaposed to the strategy that driver has chosen. The results of the analysis are then compared to the results of extensive driving tests conducted in close collaboration with the Institute of Forensic Engineering of the University of Technology in Brno (VUT) and the EPIGUS Research Institute – Institute for Holistic Accident and Traffic Safety Research of Austria, in 2010.
