It has become a tool to combat speeding and other unsafe behaviours of drivers. [1] It aims to encourage safer, more responsible driving and potentially reduce traffic flow.
PCAM extend the pedestrian safety systems achieved through pedestrian safety through vehicle design with automated ADAS. Volvo had the first automated braking system focused on other cars, but including pedestrians in 2009. [9]
Those pedestrians will have varying levels of visibility to drivers and awareness of their environment. Yes, in a more perfect world, they’d all have bright clothing and carry lights at night.

Highway safety engineering is a branch of traffic engineering that deals with reducing the frequency and severity of crashes. It uses physics and vehicle dynamics, as well as road user psychology and human factors engineering, to reduce the influence of factors that contribute to crashes. A typical traffic safety investigation follows these ...
