  • Seeking Participants For a Pedestrian Study

    Road Crossing Behavior Among Students in Rural versus Urban Campus Environments.

    ●      The purpose of this study is to understand how students navigate crosswalks on campus.

    ●      By examining aspects like visual attention, walking speed, and stress responses, we hope to identify ways to enhance pedestrian safety on campuses.

    ●      Your participation can contribute to developing safer crosswalk designs and traffic management strategies to improve campus safety for everyone.

    ●      Participating in this survey will take about 15 minutes of your time.

    ●      To be eligible to participate, you must be at least 18 years old and enrolled at UConn.

    After completing the survey, some participants will be randomly selected to take part in a Phase 2 study if interested. This second phase will involve wearing an eye tracker and smart watch while navigating campus crosswalks, and participants will receive $20 in compensation for their time.
