A large-scale study led by Bilal Farooq, civil engineering professor at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), is the first of its kind to use virtual reality (VR) to study pedestrian interactions and street crossing behaviors. The research pioneers the use of neurophysiological sensors to better understand pedestrian experiences in urban environments. The work is published in the journal Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies.
