In order to facilitate safe interactions between automated vehicles (AVs) and vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as bicyclists, we present a communication application for mobile devices that allows an AV or its passenger and a bicyclist to interact in certain traffic scenarios. At the intersection, the AV or its passenger can change the existing right-of-way rules to prioritise the ego-vehicle or the bicyclist. In a coupled driving simulator in which these two road users can interact, 16 proof-of-concept experiments are conducted. It is found that the perceived safety at conflict points can be increased through the use of the application. An investigation of the user data provides insights into the AV passengers’ decision types and duration in the scenarios studied. Moreover, the simulation results are used to revise and further develop the application concept.
