Pedestrian environment as an urban indicator : developing a GIS model for measuring pedestrian friendliness
Recently, the pedestrian environment has been recognized as an important factor for sustainable urban development movements such as the New Urbanism (NU) movement and Transit Oriented Development (TOD). Consequently, many pedestrian initiatives have been implemented throughout the US while the …

Pedestrian localisation for indoor environments
… investigates an alternative approach to indoor pedestrian tracking that uses on-body inertial sensors rather than relying on fixed infrastructure. It is demonstrated that general purpose inertial navigation algorithms are unsuitable for pedestrian tracking due to the rapid accumulation of errors …

Vehicle-pedestrian interaction using naturalistic driving video through tractography of relative positions and pedestrian pose estimation
… will allow a better understanding of the vehicle-pedestrian dynamic relationship, and which can predict pedestrian future movements. Our research analyzed videos from the Transportation Active Safety Institute (TASI) 110-Car naturalistic driving dataset to extract two dynamic pedestrian semantic …

Identification of high "risk" pedestrian locations
… identify appropriate countermeasures to improve pedestrian safety, it is necessary to identify those locations which pose high risks. The objective of this thesis is to develop criteria to identify high "risk" locations for pedestrian safety on roadway networks. These high "risk" locations were …

Data-Driven Modeling of Pedestrian Crowds
… doctoral thesis, in January 2005, the work on pedestrians was almost exclusively oriented towards computer simulations and on evacuation experiments. Since then, there have been many studies on new methods for extracting empirical data of pedestrian movements (mainly based on video analysis, …

Pedestrian detection in low-resolution videos
… we address the problem of detecting pedestrians in low-resolution videos taken by stationary cameras and cameras mounted on aerial platforms. The target pedestrians are as small as 20 pixels in height. Pedestrian detection is a key problem in computer vision, and has several …

Inventory of Aging-Friendly Pedestrian Environment
… a dominant position. While public space, pedestrian activities and urban space as a gathering place for urban residents have been placed in a very minor position. As motorization in contemporary cities develops, the overall pedestrian environment of cities is deteriorating, and the street …

Autonomous pedestrian interfaces for community networking
… structure for community networking. These pedestrian interfaces generate income from retail and advertising already common on our streets. In turn they can provide free wireless networking and serve as community computer centers. The network of public computers is targeted to travelers …

Pedestrian Accessibility and Individual’s Subjective Happiness
… While location quality — particularly pedestrian accessibility to commercial, recreational, institutional, educational, and transportation facilities — is known to affect home location values, how the same set of location attributes that affect housing prices may have a relationship …

Audible pedestrian signals: a feasibility study
… that determines the feasibility of audible pedestrian signals. These signals are devices which give auditory cues to help the visually impaired cross safely at difficult intersections. Surveys were sent out to over 100 organizations, audible signal manufacturers, and cities who have …

Pedestrian traffic monitoring using Wi-Fi technology
The study of pedestrian traffic has been investigated by many organizations such as governments, city councils and businesses. The knowledge of pedestrian traffic behaviour can be useful for planning better services for citizens. To perform the surveys for obtaining this knowledge, a number of …

Pedestrian safety at urban mid-block crossings
… Most of these crashes are likely to result in pedestrian severe injuries or fatalities, especially when crash impact speeds are high. Despite pedestrian-orientated designs being constructed around cities, the risk exposure for pedestrian crashes continues to remain a challenge for road safety …

Fast pedestrian detection from a moving vehicle
… paper presents a method of real-time multi-modal pedestrian detection from a moving vehicle. The system uses both intensity and thermal images captured from cameras mounted at the front of the vehicle to train cascades of classifiers, which results in a detector that is able to detect a large …

Estimating Pedestrian Crashes at Urban Signalized Intersections
… been conducted on crash prediction modeling for pedestrian-motor vehicle crashes. This thesis considers several candidate crash prediction models using a variety of explanatory variables and regression functions. The goal of this thesis is to develop a pedestrian crash prediction model to …
