Abstract:Automated Vehicles (AV’s) can intermingle with pedestrians and cyclists when they are driving slowly in so- called “shared spaces”. In our previous work, we studied AVs' energy consumption and safety when occluded pedestrians appear suddenly in front of the AV. We will continue investigating and developing our "value of information" based approach to evaluate additional sensors in the infrastructure. One can consider regular intersections and focus on specific configurations. We have initiated a study on "indecisive pedestrians". These are pedestrians who may stop or turn back while crossing the street, depending on their assessment of the approaching vehicle. We assume that the vehicle will also make a decision on stopping, continuing and/or dodging the pedestrian.
