1. Creating a system that allows the driver to digest more information allowing him/her to make better decisions at intersections.
-empowering the driver through this information, ie. the car lights up internally when pedestrians are around, increasing the presence of pedestrians
2. Increasing the awareness of the pedestrian by manipulating the environment so that he/she becomes more sensitized to make better decisions at intersections.
-ie. the external part of the car tells the pedestrian whether the driver is speeding up or slowing down
-ie. the crosswalk lights as pedestrians cross
3. Creating a system that increases the driver and pedestrian communication during difficult visibility, ie. night-time and dusk
Note: during our meeting Friday we addressed the driver and pedestrian responsibilities on the road and perhaps another issue we could look at would be environmental structures, ie sidewalk space and using lighting systems to act as interface between the driver and the pedestrian.
4. Sidewalks, crosswalks, and intersections can be used as an interface to increase the communication between the driver and the pedestrian.
What do you think of this angle? We feel it hasn't been addressed in anybody's group yet and could get really creative... manipulating the environment of the intersection
