What is the purpose of this research?

This research will help to design and identify the best connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) and vulnerable road users (e.g., pedestrians, cyclists, disabled people and older people) interactions that will be accepted by all road users and will maximise safety and justice in the transport system. This research may lead to a greater understanding of whether CAVs would positively influence the experience of VRUs.

Are you looking for people like me?

You are invited to participate in this research project because you are aged 18 years or older and reside in Australia.

What will you ask me to do?

Participation will involve completing an online questionnaire with Likert scale answers and open questions that will take approximately 45 minutes of your time.

Are there any risks for me in taking part?

There is no foreseeable risk of harm or discomfort associated with completing the survey, besides the inconvenience of giving up your time to complete the questionnaire.

Are there any benefits for me in taking part?

It is expected that this project will not benefit you directly. However, it may lead to a greater understanding of the most accepted scenarios by the public regarding CAVs-VRUs interactions that will improve safety and justice in the transport system.

Will I be compensated for my time?

To recognise your contribution, the research team offers the chance to enter a prize draw to receive 1 of 10 $100 e-gift Australia cards upon completion of the survey.
