Augmented reality for supporting the interaction between pedestrians and automated vehicles: an experimental outdoor study.

Communication from automated vehicles (AVs) to pedestrians using augmented reality (AR) could positively contribute to traffic safety. However, previous AR research for pedestrians was mainly conducted through online questionnaires or experiments in virtual environments instead of real ones. In this study, 28 participants conducted trials outdoors with an approaching AV and were supported by four different AR interfaces.
