Pedestrian Route Planning based on an Enhanced Representation of Pedestrian Network and Probabilistic Estimate of Signal Delays
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper proposes an enhanced representation of the pedestrian network that provides benefits for pedestrian route planning over a network representation that is used by a majority of existing route planning services. The pedestrian network is represented in the proposed methodology by pavements and crossings between them. Route planning is based on the travel time derived from distance and average walking speed. Additional delays calculated using probabilistic method are applied for signal crossings. This allows more accurate pedestrian route choice by accounting for signal delays and pavement closure, which is not possible under a usual network representation used for vehicles.

Observation in absolute darkness and daytime under every atmospheric situation is one of the advantages of thermal imaging systems. In spite of increasing trend of using these systems, there are still lots of difficulties in analysing thermal images due to the variable features of pedestrians and atmospheric situations. In this paper an efficient method is proposed for detecting pedestrians in ...
