Active Pedestrian Protection System, Project Review

چکیده
This paper introduces active pedestrian protection system (APPS) project, which was fulfilled during last three years (Nov. 2006 – Oct. 2009) and supported by ministry of knowledge economy (MKE) of Korean government, and then summarizes its achievements. To reduce the number and severity of vehicle-pedestrian accident by active safety vehicle (ASV), false alarm rate should be minimized. For this purpose, we developed critical area-centered pedestrian detection system which recognized locations of parked vehicles along the road-side then investigated only areas behind the parked vehicles. After evaluating four different approaches, sensor fusion of near infrared (NIR) vision and scanning laser radar was selected as the optimal. Although feasibility of braking and suspension for pedestrian protection was evaluated, only braking was proved to be useful.

Active Pedestrian Protection
Vulnerable road users, especially pedestrians, are more susceptible to fatal and serious injury compared with vehicle occupants. Although the frequency of accidents involving pedestrians has reduced in recent years, there are still approximately 800 pedestrians killed and 7,000 seriously injured every year in Great Britain. Furthermore, in the late nineties, more than 6,000 pedestrians were fat...
متن کاملSensor Fusion Based Obstacle Detection/Classification for Active Pedestrian Protection System
This paper proposes a sensor fusion based obstacle detection/classification system for active pedestrian protection system. At the frontend of vehicle, one laser scanner and one camera is installed. Clustering and tracking of range data from laser scanner generate obstacle candidates. Vision system classifies the candidates into three categories: pedestrian, vehicle, and other. Gabor filter ban...
متن کاملInfluence of Vehicle Shape and Stiffness on the Pedestrian Lower Extremity Injuries: Review of Current Pedestrian Lower Leg Test Procedure
This study aims at evaluating the current pedestrian lower leg test procedure with respect to the human response in a pedestrian accident. The test procedure is examined for a variety of representative cars of the European fleet. The investigation is purely based on numerical simulations carried out using the regulatory lower leg impactor, as described in the Directive 2004/90/EC, and compared ...
متن کاملDetection and Tracking of Pedestrian for ADAS
Pedestrian protection system in advanced driver assistance system is become active research area in many developed and also developing countries for improving traffic safety. The main challenge of pedestrian detection is development of reliable and affordable on board pedestrian detection system. Due to non-rigid appearance of pedestrians like different clothes, aspect ratio, changing size and ...
متن کاملDense stereo based critical area detection for an active pedestrian protection system
An active pedestrian protection system is required to operate in realtime and produce an extremely low false alarm. To achieve these requirements, Broggi et al. detected critical areas using a laser scanner and found pedestrians only in these areas via a camera. However, using heterogeneous sensors requires complicated system architecture and laser scanners have drawbacks in terms of installabi...
