This project is designed to study the behavior and perceived safety of bicyclists and pedestrians in the presence of vehicles. Our main procedure consists of creating and testing virtual reality environments of Water Street in downtown Charlottesville. One environment is set up for pedestrian studies and contains moving vehicles and a crosswalk. The other environment for bicycle studies is made of a street where participants will travel through using a mounted bike setup. In the near future we plan to have participants enter the VR environments and follow a series of actions to observe their behavior. Currently we have collected video footage of crosswalks on Water Street and will compare data from existing pedestrians and bicyclists to the participants. Doing so, we hope to find evidence for which aspects of road construction contribute to or decrease the perceived safety of people in the presence of vehicles. In the future, we can use this research to design better roads for bicyclists to travel alongside vehicles as well as crosswalks that make people feel safer when crossing.
