While measures, such as traffic calming and advance driver assistance systems, can improve safety for Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), their effectiveness ultimately relies on the responsible behavior of drivers and pedestrians who must adhere…
Traffic accidents are a threat to human lives, particularly pedestrians causing premature deaths. Therefore, it is necessary to devise systems to prevent accidents in advance and respond proactively, using potential risky situations as one…
Vehicles are constantly approaching and sharing the road with pedestrians, and as a result it is critical for vehicles to prevent any collisions with pedestrians. Current methods for pedestrian collision prevention focus on integrating…
Pedestrians and drivers interact closely in a wide range of environments. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) correspondingly face the need to predict pedestrians' future trajectories in these same environments. Traditional model-based prediction…
