Walking is an essential sustainable mode of transportation. Encouraging to increase walking trips can bring various social and economic benefits our society. Since the policy paradigm has been shifting from car-oriented pedestrian-oriented, interest in securing pedestrian rights improving environments increasing significantly. This study aims examine factors affecting satisfaction according lan...

We present a novel Dynamic Bayesian Network for pedestrian path prediction in the intelligent vehicle domain. The model incorporates the pedestrian situational awareness, situation criticality and spatial layout of the environment as latent states on top of a Switching Linear Dynamical System (SLDS) to anticipate changes in the pedestrian dynamics. Using computer vision, situational awareness i...

Landmarks provide the most predominant navigation cue for pedestrian navigation. Very few navigation data models in the geographical information science and transportation communities support modeling of landmarks and use of landmark-based route instructions for pedestrian navigation services. This article proposes a landmark-based pedestrian navigation data model to fill this gap. This data mo...

The simulation of pedestrian crowd that reflects reality is a major challenge for researches. Several crowd simulation models have been proposed such as cellular automata model, agent-based model, fluid dynamic model, etc. It is important to note that agent-based model is able, over others approaches, to provide a natural description of the system and then to capture complex human behaviors. In...

The study of human-robot interaction (HRI) has received increasing research attention for robot navigation in pedestrian crowds. In this paper, we present empirical study of pedestrian-robot interaction in an uni-directional exit corridor. We deploy a mobile robot moving in a direction perpendicular to that of the pedestrian flow, and install a pedestrian motion tracking system to record the co...

Majority of the million plus cities in India are facing serious problems of traffic congestion and pollution due to the unprecedented and rapid pace of urbanization in last decade. City planners are providing solution to these twin problems by developing Mass Rapid Transit System including Metro and BRT in many Indian Metropolitan cities. The availability of transit network and pedestrian acces...

In the 1990s, federal legislation was passed requiring transportation planning to incorporate the interests of all stakeholder groups. One urban transportation mode that is often ignored is pedestrian movement. A group particularly susceptible to difficulties in this mode is the elderly. This study surveys the attitudes of senior citizens in regard to pedestrian safety and motorist interactions...

スマートフォンの普及に伴い，携帯端末を活用したビッグデータを用いた分析が数多く行われ，任意の地点に安価で設置することのできるWi-Fiパケットセンサを利用した人流の把握事例が増加している．また，その他の様々なモバイルビッグデータを比較・融合した研究も数多く行われている．本研究では，2018年より継続的に設置されている甲府駅周辺のWi-Fiパケットセンサのデータをもとに，プレイベートWi-Fiアドレスの識別方法を構築した上で，モバイル空間統計や歩行者交通量調査と融合することで，市街地における外出人口や経路交通量，及びゾーン間移動量の算出手法を構築した．また，算出された各データを比較することにより，分析結果の妥当性の確認を行った．

BACKGROUND Pedestrian injury frequently results in devastating and costly injuries and accounts for 11% of all road user fatalities. In the United States in 2006 there were 4,784 fatalities and 61,000 injuries from pedestrian injury, and in 2007 there were 4,654 fatalities and 70,000 injuries. In Canada, injury is the leading cause of death for those under 45 years of age and the fourth most co...

In this paper we will present the objectives of a Network Robot System project denominated URUS, a European IST-STREP project of the FP6 program. The general objective of the project is the development of new ways of cooperation between network robots and human beings and/or the environment in urban areas. The focus of the project is in urban pedestrian areas, an important topic in Europe where...
