The number of road accidents happening worldwide is still high, principallythose regarding VRUs;
About 21% of road fatalities happened in European Union countries arepedestrians;
The pedestrian safety and their interaction with road traffic need to beexplored.
Life losses Economic and Environmental
costs

Pedestrian Simulator as a tool
To assess the pedestrian crossing behaviour, identifying factors regarding thecharacteristics of traffic, of road infrastructure and its evolving affectingpedestrian risk.
Users face situations of potential danger without jeopardizing their
physical integrity.Great control of all variables.
