INFORMATION ACQUISITION ON PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENTS IN URBAN TRAFFIC WITH A MOBILE MULTI-SENSOR SYSTEM

Potential measurement of pedestrian traffic in Kashan city with emphasis on urban planning indicators

According to Jane Jacobs, the main part of the concept of "street life" lies in its pedestrians. From his point of view, these are busy and vibrant walkways that give meaning to the city center by providing a social interactive environment.  The existence of communities to achieve sustainable transport goals is obvious because it improves displacement, reduces the negative environmental impacts...

"On the Cluster Analysis of Pedestrian Movements in Traffic"

Dedicated to the paradise from which we cannot be driven. Declaration I, Christian Feist, solemnly declare that I have written this project work independently, and that I have not made use of any aid other than those acknowledged in this project work. Neither this project work, nor any other similar work, has been previously submitted to any examination board.

Efficient Pedestrian Detection in Urban Traffic Scenes

Pedestrians are important participants in urban traffic environments, and thus act as an interesting category of objects for autonomous cars. Automatic pedestrian detection is an essential task for protecting pedestrians from collision. In this thesis, we investigate and develop novel approaches by interpreting spatial and temporal characteristics of pedestrians, in three different aspects: sha...

A Situation-aware Mobile Traffic Information System

Mobile information services will play an important role in our future work and private life. Enabling mobility in urban and populous areas needs innovative tools and novel techniques for individual traffic planning. However, though there already are navigation systems featuring route planning, their usability is often difficult, because neither current information nor personal user preferences ...
