A significant increase in traffic-related pedestrian fatalities has been experienced in the U.S. over the past decade. The objective of this research is to increase ENTERPRISE members’ understanding of pedestrian safety issues and detection techniques and identify potential approaches to test the technical feasibility of pedestrian detection and alert systems, especially at signalized intersections. The project will conduct a literature search to provide context around safety issues that could potentially be addressed through improved pedestrian detection and alert systems. A scan of safety approaches will be completed to identify pedestrian detection techniques and alert systems with a focus on technology-based solutions and pedestrian-vehicle interactions at signalized intersections.
