Pedestrian detection method is the highest priority for “active safety” which prevents traffic accidents before happens. In previous studies, edge orientation based feature descriptors are proposed. Recently, high standard detection algorithm, Co-occurrence Histograms of Oriented Gradients (CoHOG) is proposed. However, this method has miss detection in complicated situation and processing cost ...

Designing pedestrian systems have been a challenge due to the lack of effective tools and methods to model the autonomous behavior of pedestrians. Pedestrians are one of the main players in traffic systems, and they also are their most common victims. The high incident of pedestrians’ accidents has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to set the reduction of traffic accidents as a priority f...

While older pedestrian crashes are relatively few in number, their rates are significant per head of population. Moreover, with expected increases in the proportion and mobility of older people in the years ahead, the problem will only get worse without active intervention. This review aimed to identify issues of relevance to the safety of older pedestrians and prioritise research and counterme...
