Half of the world’s road traffic deaths involve vulnerable users—pedestrians, motorcyclists, and cyclists. In Malaysia, there are several strategies introduced to improve safety level school children. However, crashes involving children still worrisome. Recent trends involved in vicinity have become nation’s concern. Therefore, this study aims investigate contributing factors pedestrian-vehicle...

The Casco Viejo of Panama is an area with great potential to develop a pedestrian zone, as it attractive for travelers visit. For this development be carried out safely, recommended that the site analyzed based on superblock criteria ensure pedestrians can move through streets in free and accessible way regardless their physical condition. Hence, necessary evaluate current state road infrastruc...

Pedestrian areas are a type of urban public space, nowadays because of the serious consequencesof car-dependency and ignoring pedestrian needs, a consensus on the importance of walking and the necessity forplanning for pedestrians movement has been formed among urban designers, planners and people. The concernsabout human health and movement in city create a new trend in contemporary urbanism, ...

usually staggered to separate the two crossings as shown in Figure 2. Staggered crossings are designed to force pedestrians to face the upcoming traffic and to avoid the confusion that pedestrians may see the further pedestrian signal indication when they are supposed to follow the first-stage signal. Staggered crossings are implemented widely in the United Kingdom and Japan and are recommended...

We present a novel Dynamic Bayesian Network for pedestrian path prediction in the intelligent vehicle domain. The model incorporates the pedestrian situational awareness, situation criticality and spatial layout of the environment as latent states on top of a Switching Linear Dynamical System (SLDS) to anticipate changes in the pedestrian dynamics. Using computer vision, situational awareness i...

Landmarks provide the most predominant navigation cue for pedestrian navigation. Very few navigation data models in the geographical information science and transportation communities support modeling of landmarks and use of landmark-based route instructions for pedestrian navigation services. This article proposes a landmark-based pedestrian navigation data model to fill this gap. This data mo...

The simulation of pedestrian crowd that reflects reality is a major challenge for researches. Several crowd simulation models have been proposed such as cellular automata model, agent-based model, fluid dynamic model, etc. It is important to note that agent-based model is able, over others approaches, to provide a natural description of the system and then to capture complex human behaviors. In...

The study of human-robot interaction (HRI) has received increasing research attention for robot navigation in pedestrian crowds. In this paper, we present empirical study of pedestrian-robot interaction in an uni-directional exit corridor. We deploy a mobile robot moving in a direction perpendicular to that of the pedestrian flow, and install a pedestrian motion tracking system to record the co...
