VT MAK simulation tools on a typical local 3D urban model
Real environments panoramic video & stills, capturing and

Eye tracking and motion capturing capabilities
Portable simulator Our goal is to study pedestrian behavior at large with
aims to impact the traffic safety community, urban
design and pedestrian alert systems (PAS).
We examine pedestrians behavior in relation to:
• Road characteristics
• Environmental and urban factors
• Distractions from portable devices
• Enhancement of skills
• Body parts movement
• Conflicts between pedestrians and other vulnerable
• road users (e.g., cyclists, e-bike riders)
With regard to age-based differences:
a. We look at three categories of Child pedestrians
7-8 years old, 9-10 years old and 11-13 years old.
b. We look at teenagers 15-18 and young drivers
c. We study older pedestrians
• Located in the “the capital of the Negev”, the fourth
most populated area in Israel, we have access to
schools, students, university students, and senior
citizens.
