Samenvatting

PUSSYCATS (Pedestrian Urban Safety System and Comfort at Traffic Signals) is a new system incorporating technical improvements better adapted to pedestrians needs and behaviour. A Kerb-side detector mat replaces the push buttons, with infrared sensors detecting the presence of pedestrians on the crossing. The pedestrian displays or the lightheads are moved to the near side of the crossing, thus facing the oncoming traffic. The study presented included interviews of pedestrians concerning comprehension, safety and convenience. Pedestrians were also observed in a before and after study. Their behaviour was related to traffic flows, presence of other pedestrians and impact of different phases.
