  • New mixed-methods papers on pedestrian interactions with bicycles and cars in crosswalks

    Two new open-access papers from the REACT Lab examine public perceptions of comfort and safety for pedestrians interacting with cars and bicycles in unsignalized crosswalks. The first paper (Gill) uses structural equation modelling of quantitative ratings to examine the relationships among perceptions of yielding, comfort, and safety. The findings reveal how perceptions of comfort differ […]

  • New paper on physiological stress markers for pedestrians and cyclists

Welcome to REACT lab at UBC

React Lab is a group of researchers dedicated to finding ways to make our transportation systems more effective, sustainable, equitable, and healthy. Our current research focuses on utilitarian bicycle and pedestrian travel analysis and modeling (speed and route choices, facility and network design, comfort and safety, energy expenditure, air pollution uptake, and more). We do this work on the unceded lands of the Coast Salish nations, with the guiding values of integrity, rigor, creativity, and empathy.
