Cuerden 1 PEDESTRIANS AND THEIR SURVIVABILITY AT DIFFERENT IMPACT SPEEDS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The UK’s On The Spot (OTS) accident data collection project started in 2000 and continues to investigate 500 crashes per year. Investigations are undertaken minutes after the collision has occurred to gather all the perishable information. At the time of writing over 3,000 crashes involving all road users and all injury severities have been examined. The OTS database provides a unique insight into the prevailing factors that have been seen to cause crashes and the associated human injuries and vehicle and infrastructure damage that have been witnessed by the crash investigation teams.

Modeling heterogeneous speed profiles in discrete models for pedestrian simulation
We present a discrete model extending the floor field approach allowing heterogeneity in the walking speed of the simulated population of pedestrians. Whereas some discrete models allow pedestrians to move more than a single cell per time step, in the present work we maintain a maximum speed of one cell per step but we model lower speeds by having pedestrians yielding their movement in some tur...
متن کاملEstimating Speeds and Directions of Pedestrians in Real-Time Videos: A solution to Road- Safety Problem
Pedestrian injuries and fatalities are one of the most significant problems related to travel and road safety. Pedestrians are vulnerable users of roads and due to the very different velocities and mass when compared to vehicles like cars and trucks, and very often they undergo serious injuries in case of collisions. Older pedestrians are even more vulnerable to injuries and fatalities due to (...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Speed Profiles in Discrete Models for 1 Pedestrian Simulation
1 Discrete pedestrian simulation models are viable alternatives to particle based approaches based 2 on a continuous spatial representation. The effects of discretisation, however, also imply some dif3 ficulties in modelling certain phenomena that can be observed in reality. This paper focuses on the 4 possibility to manage heterogeneity in the walking speed of the simulated population of pedes...

متن کاملFree Speed Distributions for Pedestrian Traffic
Free speeds are defined as the speeds pedestrians like to walk with when they are not influenced by other nearby pedestrians. Free speeds differ among pedestrians being influenced by personal characteristics, characteristics of the infrastructure and external conditions. Free speeds and their distribution play an important role in many traffic flow models, but are also relevant in other applica...
