We welcome Dr. Kelcie Ralph who is an assistant professor at Rutgers in the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. In her research, Dr. Ralph works to identify and correct common misperceptions about travel behavior and safety to improve transportation planning outcomes.
We’re talking about her paper entitled “Distracted by ‘distracted pedestrians”? Published in the journal Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives with co-author Ian Girardeau.
This study focuses on the framing of distracted walking, irons out some of the literature on what we know about it, how large a problem it actually is, and what measures we should be focusing on to keep pedestrians safe. As we’ll learn from Kelcie, what we know about distracted pedestrians highly influences how we try to address this issue.
