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 ...

Pedestrian detection is an important problem in computer vision due to its importance for applications such as visual surveillance, robotics, and automotive safety. This paper pushes the state-of-the-art of pedestrian detection in two ways. First, we propose a simple yet highly effective novel feature based on binocular disparity, outperforming previously proposed stereo features. Second, we sh...

Pedestrian counting plays an important role in public safety and intelligent transportation. Most pedestrian counting algorithms based on supervised learning require much labeling work and rarely exploit the topological information of unlabelled data in a video. In this paper, we propose a SemiSupervised Elastic Net (SSEN) regressionmethod by utilizing sequential information between unlabelled ...

This paper addresses predicting the impact of access gates on pedestrian flow operations in terms of levels-of-service, congestion levels, average walking times, delays incurred at the gates, etc. To tackle the problem at hand, pedestrian traffic operations for different station design alternatives are predicted using the microscopic pedestrian flow model NOMAD. This is done for reference situa...

This paper proposes an improved method for pedestrian detection using an Attitude Measurement Unit (AMU) in conjunction with multi-slit data. During the next decade, on-board pedestrian detection systems will play a key role in the challenge of increasing traffic safety. The main goal of these systems, to detect pedestrians in urban scenarios, involves overcoming difficulties like processing ou...

Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users. Speed of vehicles is considered as one of the major causes of danger for pedestrians crossing the street. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to devise suitable solutions to reduce speed of vehicles. One of these solutions is installation of Pedestrian Refuge Islands (PRI) in very wide midblocks. With regard to fluctuations in pedestrian a...

Pedestrian deaths account for the highest percentage of fatality caused by traffic accidents in Japan. Increasing pedestrian safety is a key objective reducing such deaths. For vehicles at low speed, turning vehicle toward right was most common behavior under left-hand traffic. Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems have great potential to mitigate injuries and fatalities accidents. However...
