Models and simulation software for pedestrian and driver road-crossing decisions

Link: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/49AWH MATLAB implementation of the models of road-crossing decisions of pedestrians and turning drivers, developed in the European interACT project and described in (Dietrich et al., 2019). This also includes a standalone “simulation tool” with a GUI allowing investigations of how crossing decisions are affected by the behaviour of an approaching vehicle.

Code for fitting a visual looming accumulation model of brake onset timing

Link: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/647SY MATLAB implementation of a brake response time model based on accumulation of visual looming information, as initially proposed in (Markkula, 2014). The code also shows how to run a simple grid search to perform a maximum likelihood fitting of the model to observed brake response data, as done for example in (Engström et al, 2018; Xue et al., 2018; Piccinini et al., 2019).
