Pedestrian Collision Warning for SEPTA Buses
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose to research the problem of detecting and preventing imminent collisions between buses and pedestrians. GPS and inertial sensor measurements will be fused to analyze bus motion, and other sensors, such as laser scanners, will detect pedestrians in danger. Appropriate algorithms will be developed to anticipate collisions, and warn the driver and pedestrians through various channels. One particular channel under investigation is a directional speaker, projecting an audio warning from the bus towards the pedestrian. ∗Electrical & Systems Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, 200 S. 33rd St, Philadelphia, PA, 19104 †Computer & Information Science, University of Pennsylvania, 3330 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA, 19104

Side Collision Warning Systems for Transit Buses
Transit buses are involved in many more accidents than other vehicles. Collision Warning Systems (CWS) are therefore placed most efficiently on these buses. In our project, we investigate their operating environment and available technologies to develop performance specifications for such CWS. This paper discusses our findings of transit buses driving through very cluttered surroundings and bei...
متن کاملThe Development of Parameters and Warning Algorithms for an Intersection Bus-Pedestrian Collision Warning System
This study presents the conceptual design of an intersection bus-pedestrian collision warning system for bus drivers approaching an intersection. The basic parameters of the proposed design concept include the bus drivers’ perception-reaction time, the emergency deceleration rate of the bus, and pedestrian walking speed. A bus driving simulation was designed and conducted to analyze bus drivers...

متن کاملEffectiveness of Visual Collision Warning Alerts on Young Drivers’ Latent Hazard Anticipation
Forward roadway collision warning systems can reduce rear-end collisions, among other unsafe behaviors. Previous studies have shown that young drivers fail to scan adequately for latent hazards. The current driving simulator study investigates the effect of visual collision warning messages on drivers’ hazard anticipation ability, when presented either 2s, 3s or 4s in advance of a potential thr...
