Rollators (four-wheel walkers in USA; zimmer frames UK) are commonly used as mobility aids for the elderly and people with a variety of disabilities. Pedestrian rollator users sub-group Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), although this group is rarely recognised traffic safety contexts. The aim study to extract analyse related pedestrian accident injury data Sweden. results will provide valuable insi...

Traffic accidents have become an important cause of fatality in modern countries. For instance, in 2002, motor vehicle accidents represented the half of non-natural death in the United States (National Center of Health Statistics, 2002); while in 2003 there were reported almost 150,000 injured and 7,000 killed in pedestrian accidents only in the European Union (United Nations Economic Commissio...

Accidents between vehicles and pedestrians account for a large partition of severe traffic accidents. So, pedestrian motion prediction becomes major concern intelligent vehicles. However, current researches often neglect behaviour and/or intention in prediction. Meanwhile, related works are scattered divided into many small fields. No integrated system is proposed to connect the task perception...

Research Objective Recent statistical data of traffic accidents reveals that pedestrian fatalities are a particular priority in Europe and Japan. To realize zero-traffic accident society, the objective of this paper is to develop a driver assistance system for pedestrian collision prevention based on using a monocular camera. Methodology As the concept of the system, moving objects on and nearb...

Pedestrian safety is a primary traffic issue in the urban environment. According to national traffic safety data, more than 4,000 fatalities were caused by pedestrian-vehicle collisions annually among the 40,000-plus total fatalities in all categories of collisions. Pedestrian crashes account for about 80,000 collisions per year, according to the General Estimate System (GES) data from 1995 to ...

As the pedestrian who wears audio players become more portable, they are often using headphones outdoors, and this leads to a higher frequency of traffic accidents. . In this paper, the study proposes a method to detect danger and enhance the safety of pedestrians who wear headphones. The system is designed to detect danger signals at a significant level, control audio play accordingly, and sen...

Estimating individual probabilities of causation generally requires prior knowledge of causal mechanisms. For traffic accidents such knowledge is often available and supports the discipline of accident reconstruction. In this paper structural knowledge is combined with Bayesian network methods to calculate the probability of necessity due to speeding for each of a set of vehicle/pedestrian coll...
