Abstract
The research wants to understand how drivers behave approaching to hazard. This necessity developed by considering the numbers of road accidents, in particular the ones engaging pedestrians. Exploiting driving simulator potentiality, some driving scenario had been created manipulating the following variables: presence/absence of zebra crossing and pedestrian road signs and hazard position. Results confirm the hypothesis that pedestrian sighting depends on the experimental variables. Road signs guarantee an optimal condition to detect potential hazard, while the predictability of the crossing by itself makes a difference in time needed to realize when an hazard is already present.
