Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of an Information System to Enhance Road Safety Level for Pedestrians in China

Pedestrians’ unsafe behavior is one of the most critical factors causing traffic incidents in China. The primary objective of this study is to explore the cause of pedestrians’ unsafe behavior and provide possible solutions. We interviewed pedestrians and experts to investigate pedestrians’ unsafe b...
