Pedestrian detection is paramount for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. As a key technology in computer vision, it also finds many other applications, such as security and surveillance etc. Generally, pedestrian detection is conducted for images in visible spectrum, which are not suitable for night time detection. Infrared (IR) or thermal imaging is often adopted...

The rapid deployment of smartphones as all-purpose mobile computing systems has led to a wide adoption of wireless communication systems such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in mobile scenarios. Both communication systems leak information to the surroundings during operation. This information has been used for tracking and crowd density estimations in literature. However, an estimation of pedestrian flo...

In rescue missions or law enforcement applications, accurate determination of every team member’s position and providing this information on a map may significantly improve mutual situation awareness and potentially reduce the risk of accidentally harming a team member. Furthermore, it could help keep track of the areas that have been already visited, helping the coordination of the mission at ...

One of the main challenges for transportation engineers is the consideration of pedestrian safety as the most vulnerable aspect of the transport system. In many countries around the world, a large number of accidents recorded by the police are composed of accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles, for example when pedestrians may be struck by passing vehicles when crossing the street. Carefu...

The effectiveness of security and accessibility to all facilities supplied in the neighborhood area was evaluated using Pedestrian Infrastructure Quality Service methodology. method is known as a "mix land uses test pedestrian connectivity," it encompasses use connectivity within 400-meter walking radius, indicated on map. According findings, 28% pedestrians age range 25–34 years old were eager...

Pedestrian detection and tracking has many important applications in the security industry, pedestrian demographic analysis, and intelligent transportation system (ITS). In this project, we will develop a stable pedestrian detection and tracking algorithm. The Town Centre video frames and the hand annotated ground truth published by the University of Oxford are used as a benchmark. In experimen...

This paper presents a traffic simulation approach for evaluating the pedestrian behaviour by developing a model which includes pedestrians in a vehicular micro-simulation model i.e. PARAMICS that provides a default mechanism for simulating pedestrian movements. This approach is demonstrated by using a case study of a signalized intersection having large pedestrian flow interacting with large ve...
