Studying Visual Experience to Inform Infrastructure Design Streets are designed for vehicle efficiency. Engineers reference vehicle-based codes, use detailed models to optimize vehicle flow, and conduct evaluations with driving simulators before implementing design. A constraint, rather than a design variable, is pedestrian and cyclist safety, as roadway designers currently lack the ability to quantify and test safety prior to construction. Collecting this missing data is at best challenging and expensive, and at worst, unsafe. Professor Megan Ryerson fills this gap by using eye tracking technology to collect and study the user-based data and perspective towards transforming how roadway designers understand, measure, and implement safety interventions. |
