WHY PEDESTRIANS OVERESTIMATE THEIR VISIBILITY: A DIVE INTO THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ROAD SAFETY | By Ellen Szubski, M.S., Ph.D., CXLT, CPSI, AHFP When we step out onto the road as pedestrians, most of us assume that we are easily visible to oncoming drivers. However, research shows that pedestrians frequently overestimate their visibility, especially at night or in low-light conditions. This overconfidence can lead to dangerous situations, contributing to accidents and fatalities. Understanding why pedestrians overestimate their visibility ...

HUMAN FACTORS AND HALLOWEEN HAZARDS: TRIP AND FALLS | By Ellen Szubski, M.S., Ph.D., CXLT, CPSI, AHFP Trick-or-treating is a fun and festive activity, but it comes with certain hazards that can pose risks to children and even adults. In addition to vehicle and pedestrian collisions and accidents, tripping and falling while trick-or-treating is a common hazard, especially for children navigating unfamiliar and dimly lit areas at night.

HUMAN FACTORS AND HALLOWEEN HAZARDS: VEHICLE/PEDESTRIAN COLLISIONS | By Ellen Szubski, M.S., Ph.D., CXLT, CPSI, AHFP Trick-or-treating is a fun and festive activity, but it comes with certain hazards that can pose risks to children and even adults. In addition to trip and fall hazards while trick-or-treating, there is also an increased risk of vehicle/pedestrian collisions due to the increased pedestrian activity in the roadway at night.
