About
Wencan Mao is a rising scholar in urban transportation and human–automation interaction, whose research focuses on how pedestrians and cyclists behave when sharing space with autonomous systems—including autonomous vehicles, automated buses, and sidewalk delivery robots. In their highly cited 2025 literature review, Mao systematically analyzed controlled experiments to uncover behavioral patterns and safety implications of these interactions, providing a critical foundation for designing inclusive and sustainable urban mobility systems. This work, already garnering 7 citations shortly after publication, highlights Mao’s ability to synthesize complex, interdisciplinary knowledge and identify key gaps for future research. By bridging engineering, psychology, and urban planning, Mao’s contributions are shaping how autonomous technologies can be integrated safely and equitably into public spaces. Their research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners seeking evidence-based insights into the human factors of emerging transportation technologies.
