A collaborative project between the San Diego Association of Governments and San Diego State University (5) evaluated the effectiveness of audible pedestrian traffic signals in aiding visually disabled and elderly persons to walk in their community with greater safety. Three aspects of audible pedestrian traffic signals were investigated: 1) the patterns of use and the impact of these signals o...

The safety of a pedestrian crossing may depend on infrastructure, vehicular and traffic characteristics. This academic research typically portrays the challenges knowingly caused by vehicles crosswalks in city Kigali. Through carefully observing stopping local drivers events, study aims to objectively evaluate drivers’ questionable behavior against flow parameters. Ten collection sites were ult...

Spatial layout design must consider not only ease of movement for pedestrians under normal conditions, but also their safety in panic situations, such as an emergency evacuation in a theatre, stadium or hospital. Using pedestrian simulation statistics, the movement of crowds can be used to study the consequences of different spatial layouts. Previous works either create an optimal spatial arran...

Abstract P-Minder is a lightweight sidewalk segmentation and obstacle detection-based approach designed for phubbers’ safety, which can help phubbers to avoid obstacles other dangers during phubbing walking. But two issues have been found in previous experiments: undifferentiated scores the recognition results costs high resource occupation background operation. Therefore, this paper proposes s...

There is now increasing emphasis on managing the urban transport for the benefit of all road users, particularly on the promotion of walking and cycling as more environmentally friendly modes of transport. Dynamic traffic signal controls in respond to pedestrian demand have been developed which give the flexibility and control to the network controllers to manage pedestrian and vehicle interact...

pedestrian streets as one type of urban public spaces have an important role in improving the quality of urban life. in iran, planning and designing of pedestrian streets is in its primary steps. in spite of starting this approach in iran, and designing several pedestrian streets, there are still not organized studies about quality assessment of pedestrian streets. as a result, the strength and...
