Keywords:external Human Machine Interface (eHMI), automated vehicle, interaction, pedestrian, crosswalk

The interaction between a pedestrian and an automated vehicle equipped with an external human machine interface at an unsignalized crosswalk is discussed. The external human machine interface has the potential to provide an effective communication cue from which the pedestrian can judge whether the automated vehicle is yielding to them.
