Integrated Pedestrian Safety Assessment Procedure
Structural improvements at the vehicle front are state of the art in the field of pedestrian safety today and offer a basic passive protection. Meanwhile advanced safety systems have entered the market. Deployable systems, like the active bonnet or the windscreen airbag, further enhance the passive protection of passenger vehicles while systems of active safety such as autonomous emergency brak...
متن کاملPedestrian and Vehicle Classification Surveillance System for Street-Crossing Safety
This paper presents a framework for automatic pedestrian and motor vehicle classification in a streetcrossing safety surveillance system. The proposed method is a coarse to fine classification approach divided into two branches. The moving objects are detected, tracked and clustered into fast moving and slow moving categories according to a motion speed estimation method. This approach is appli...
متن کاملAn Assessment of the Impact of Pedestrian Refuge Islands on Vehicle Speed Changes and Pedestrian Safety: Case Study in Tehran
Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. Speed of vehicles is considered as one of the major causes of danger for pedestrians crossing the street. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to devise suitable solutions to reduce speed of vehicles. One of these solutions is installation of Pedestrian Refuge Islands (PRI) in very wide midblocks. With regard to fluctuations in pedestrian a...
متن کاملCrossing Behaviour of the Elderly: Road Safety Assessment through Simulations
The assessment of the safety of road crossing facilities in urban scenarios can be supported by means of advanced computer-based simulations. Integrated models considering the vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and their interactions, still lack empirical evidences about the heterogeneous features of pedestrians, with particular reference to age-driven crossing behaviour. Elderly pedestrians are...
متن کاملAssessing Pedestrian Crossing Risk at Signalised Intersection
Pedestrian are most at risk when crossing a road section with a large amount of pedestrian-vehicle interaction. Thus, an understanding of the complex interaction between pedestrian behaviour, signal setting and environment is essential to assess the contribution of these factors to pedestrian accidents. The complexity of these interactions could possibly been described and explored using a powe...
