The number of casualties resulting from collisions between pedestrians and motor vehicles continues to rise. A significant factor is the misunderstanding of vehicle behavior intentions by pedestrians. This is especially true with the continuous development of vehicle automation technology, which has reduced direct interaction between drivers and the outside world. Therefore, accurate communication of vehicle behavior intentions is becoming increasingly important. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of external vehicle acceleration signal light on the interaction experience between pedestrians and vehicles. The differences between the use and nonuse of acceleration signal light are compared through controlled test track experiments in real scenarios and in videos.The results show that acceleration signal light help pedestrians understand vehicle behavior intentions more quickly and make safer crossing decisions as well as improving their perception of safety when crossing the street and their trust in vehicle behavior.
行人与机动车碰撞造成的伤亡人数持续上升。一个重要因素是行人对车辆行为意图的误解。随着车辆自动化技术的不断发展，驾驶员与外界的直接互动减少，情况尤其如此。因此，准确传达车辆行为意图变得越来越重要。本研究的目的是调查车辆外部加速度信号灯对行人和车辆之间互动体验的影响。通过在真实场景和视频中的受控测试轨道实验，比较使用和不使用加速度信号灯的差异。结果表明，加速度信号灯有助于行人更快地理解车辆行为意图，做出更安全的过街决策，同时提高他们过街时的安全感以及对车辆行为的信任度。
