A vehicle-pedestrian impact is a complex phenomenon in which a large number of variables take part simultaneously determining the injury severity of the pedestrian. Statistical techniques were applied to data from 43 pedestrian accidents that occurred in Madrid, following a similar approach to the one applied in previous publications from authors. In this case, however, the general research obj...

Image acquisition mode of the CMOS sensor is active, charge photosensitive diode of the output by direct amplification transistor. Moving object scale change and deformation; moving target in the tracking process or rotary motion, change and camera distance and perspective, will cause the target image scale change and deformation. In this paper, with a pedestrian movement target specific, stati...

We propose a novel approach to pedestrian flow characterization. The definitions of density, flow and velocity existing in the literature are extended through a data-driven spatio-temporal discretization framework. The framework is based on three-dimensional Voronoi diagrams. The new definitions are (i) independent from an arbitrarily chosen discretization; (ii) appropriate for the multi-direct...

In the past decade, object detection has been researched to use a camera, a LIDAR and a RADAR. However, camera-based techniques have heavy image processing and are sensitive for light intensity. LIDAR can measure precise distance from objects, but it is difficult to classify objects. In addition, previous researches were unable to detect partially occluded pedestrian because the data to determi...

The Intermodal Simulator for the Analysis of Pedestrian Traffic (ISAPT) is being developed for the purpose of modeling pedestrian traffic within intermodal facilities, such that designers may evaluate the impact of building design on the Level of Service provided to pedestrians. The ISAPT system models each pedestrian’s behavior individually and the collective behavior of the crowd is allowed t...

The vibration serviceability of footbridges has evolved from the adoption a single pedestrian crossing in resonance condition to load cases which several pedestrians cross structure simultaneously. However, spite this improvement, continue be considered as applied loads codes practice. Recent research pointed out that modeling dynamic systems is step further search for more realistic design app...

We report on a stereo system for 3D detection and tracking of pedestrians in urban traffic scenes. The system is built around a probabilistic environment model which fuses evidence from dense 3D reconstruction and image-based pedestrian detection into a consistent interpretation of the observed scene, and a multi-hypothesis tracker to reconstruct the pedestrians’ trajectories in 3D coordinates ...

Pedestrian detection method is the highest priority for “active safety” which prevents traffic accidents before happens. In previous studies, edge orientation based feature descriptors are proposed. Recently, high standard detection algorithm, Co-occurrence Histograms of Oriented Gradients (CoHOG) is proposed. However, this method has miss detection in complicated situation and processing cost ...

This paper presents a new approach for tracking multiple people in monocular calibrated cameras combining patch matching and pedestrian detection. Initially, background removal and pedestrian detection are used in conjunction with the vertical standing hypothesis to initialize the targets with multiples patches. In the tracking step, each patch related to a given target is matched individually ...

A paradigm to improve the quality of pedestrian movement by considering their interactions in the microscopic level is introduced. By this approach, design of pedestrian facilities is not merely space allocation but it can also utilize other form of flow controls in space, time and direction. Although microscopic pedestrian analysis exists, the microscopic pedestrian data collection has not bee...
