A pedestrian walking safety system based on smartphone built-in sensors
People watching smartphones while walking causes a significant impact to their safety. Pedestrians staring at smartphone screens while walking along the sidewalk are generally more at risk than other pedestrians not engaged in smartphone usage. In this paper, we propose Safe Walking, an Android smartphone-based system that detects the walking behavior of pedestrians by leveraging the sensors an...
متن کاملPedestrian injury and the built environment: an environmental scan of hotspots
BACKGROUND Pedestrian injury frequently results in devastating and costly injuries and accounts for 11% of all road user fatalities. In the United States in 2006 there were 4,784 fatalities and 61,000 injuries from pedestrian injury, and in 2007 there were 4,654 fatalities and 70,000 injuries.

متن کاملDENSITY AND QUALITY OF SPACES IN RELATION TO BUILT-FORMS: The Case of Commercially Active Centers in Addis Ababa (Pedestrian Density and Pedestrian Priority)
ABSTRACT A vibrant and commercially active center is often the result of interesting, diverse building styles and or built-forms, pedestrian density along with variety of quality public places where people feel comfortable, spending time and shopping items for domestic and commercial functions in cities like Addis Ababa. The scale and design of buildings, pedestrian density, and other phy...
متن کاملPedestrian Modelling and Circulation Diagrams in Three-dimensional Built Environment
The work presented in this paper is a continuation of previous research done by author on the development of computational techniques that allow the investigation of pedestrian movement behaviour in the built environment. Specifically, the work has been initiated by introducing a pedestrian modelling approach, which simulates pedestrian movement behaviour and generates circulation diagrams in t...
