Research indicates that crashes between cyclists and car drivers occur even when the cyclist must have seen the approaching car, suggesting the importance of expectancy and attention allocation issues [1]. Once a relevant stimulus is detected in traffic, cyclist must make a judgement regarding whether the trajectory of their own bicycle and the vehicle of another road user has the potential to case a conflict [2]. To examine the sources of visual information that are involved in the anticipation of bicycle-car collisions at uncontrolled intersections, the cyclists’ eye movements were recorded while they were watching various intersection scenarios i.e., cyclist passing the car(s) in front, behind, or colliding while cyclist approached at simulated at three different speeds. Cyclists' eye movements at uncontrolled intersections: an eye-tracking study using animated video clips.
