The results of the technical examination pedestrian bridge over Western Bug River on territory Brest Fortress are presented. A new constructive solution bridge, its numerical modeling and features installation fullscale tests with a movable test load confirmed design decisions made by authors. resulting efforts in ropes did not exceed calculated values.

Pedestrian protection project is presently the key aim in the fields of traffic safety and vehicle passive safety, which is attached to great importance by numerous researchers at home and abroad. Based on PC-Crash program for simulation and reconstruction of road accident and in-line MADYMO program for multi-body system dynamics analysis, the kinematics law and characteristics of pedestrian in...

OBJECTIVES Motor vehicle-pedestrian crash is a significant public health concern. The urban campus of Georgia State University poses unique challenges due to a large number of students and university employees. The objectives of this study are twofold: 1) to examine the correlation between specific features of the built environment on and around the University campus and pedestrian crashes; and...

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...

Vibrations are an issue of increasing importance in current footbridge design practice. More sophisticated footbridges with spans and more effective construction materials result lightweight structures a high ratio live load to dead load. As this trend, many have become susceptible vibrations when subjected dynamic loads. The most common loads on footbridges, other than wind loading, pedestrian...

To date there are no clear or uniform standards for a method to measure pedestrian crash rates and compare it against a statewide average. In this paper, a novel methodology to measure pedestrian crash rates along roadways and intersections were quantified. The main objective is to identify critical pedestrian crash locations that are operating above its corresponding statewide average. It was ...

Pedestrian detection is an important application in computer vision. Currently, most pedestrian detection methods focus on learning one or multiple fixed models. These algorithms rely heavily on training data and do not perform well in handling various pedestrian deformations. To address this problem, we analyze the cause of pedestrian deformation and propose a method to adaptively describe the...

Quantifying effects of crosswalk length and signal timing on pedestrians’ presence position and timing is an important requirement for evaluating the probability of conflict. It can be utilized to provide a rational safety assessment and improve existing operational policies at signalized intersections. This study investigates the effects of crosswalk length and pedestrian green time on the spa...

Robust, fast object detection systems are critical to the success of next-generation automotive vision systems. An important criteria is that the detection system be easily configurable to a new domain or environment. In this paper, we present work on a general object detection system that can be trained to detect different types of objects; we will focus on the task of pedestrian detection. Th...
