• Abstract:
  Vulnerable road users (VRUs), including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and a variety of micromobility users, are at an increased risk for collisions, severe injuries, and fatalities relative to other road users, particularly in crowded urban environments. New transportation technologies could have both positive and negative effects on VRU safety. These new technologies include automated driving systems (ADS), which are capable of controlling vehicles with no or limited input from human drivers and cooperative driving automation (CDA), which send and receive cooperative and safety messages. The current literature review assesses the potential impact of ADS-equipped vehicles and CDA technology on VRU safety and the potential role of infrastructure in facilitating safe interactions. The review also includes a prioritized list of issues related to human factors and generated research needs, based on feedback from a panel of subject matter experts.
