Pedestrians, as vulnerable road users, pose safety challenges for autonomous vehicles (AVs). Their behavior, often unpredictable and subject to change, complicates AV-pedestrian interactions. To address this uncertainty, AV s can enhance safety by communicating their planned trajectories to pedestrians. In this research, we explore the interaction between pedestrians and autonomous vehicles within an industrial environment, focusing on how communicative behavior from the vehicles influences pedestrians' physiology. We investigate the possibility of mea-suring biosignals while participants wear a VR headset and experiment a pedestrian crossing. Our preliminary study reveals subtle variations in delta rhythms when users immersed in VR simulations interact with AV s that either provide or withhold additional information.
