In order to recognize a pedestrian, the computational system uses AI pattern recognition technology that typically uses machine learning and deep convolutional neural networks based on millions of images. [4] In a simplified description, images from the car's camera and radar are compared to the prototypes stored in the computer.
The sequence of events in a car-pedestrian crash. Many pedestrian crashes involve a forward moving car (as opposed to buses and other vehicles with a vertical hood/bonnet). In such a crash, a standing or walking pedestrian is struck and accelerated to the speed of the car and then continues forward as the car brakes to a halt.
Automakers have been adding pedestrian crash avoidance technology to the safety packages offered in many vehicles, but as of now, these systems are not mandatory in all vehicles.
Pedestrian detection is an essential and significant task in any intelligent video surveillance system, as it provides the fundamental information for semantic understanding of the video footages. It has an obvious extension to automotive applications due to the potential for improving safety systems.
Bigger vehicles and a lack of focus on pedestrian visibility may be to blame. Despite Safer Cars, Reports Show More Cyclist and Pedestrian Deaths Than Ever Skip to main content
The U.S. last year had the highest number of pedestrian fatalities since 1981. Road safety experts pointed to several factors driving the trend. Pedestrian deaths hit a 41-year high.
The terms "active" and "passive" are simple but important terms in the world of automotive safety. "Active safety" is used to refer to technology assisting in the prevention of a crash and "passive safety" to components of the vehicle (primarily airbags, seatbelts and the physical structure of the vehicle) that help to protect occupants during a crash.
Self-driving cars is an exciting, new technology being tested in several cities throughout the country. But after an Arizona woman was killed crossing the street, concerns about safety are being ...
