Abstract
The present paper represents an approach to the modeling of pedestrians and vehicles interaction in the area of a zebra crossing, either signalised or not, employing two existing models devoted to the simulation of the specific pedestrian and vehicular sub-systems and integrating them in a comprehensive agent environment. The latter acts as a bridge allowing mutual perception of the different heterogeneous agents that cooperate to avoid accidents: vehicles give way to perceived pedestrians whenever they can safely brake to let them pass, pedestrians yield whenever they perceive cars that would not be able to stop before the zebra crossing. The paper presents the model and shows results in simple crossing scenarios.
