PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

Introduction:

​

• A pedestrian can be defined as a vulnerable road user that is at risk when it comes to roads. Thus the safety of such being is essential. The pedestrian safety and protection norms are aimed to do so. It will ensure that the new cars meet a minimum requirement of safety for the pedestrians.
• Each year, more than 270 000 pedestrians lose their lives on the world’s roads. Many leave their homes as they would on any given day – to school, work, places of worship, homes of friends – never to return. Globally, pedestrians constitute 22% of all road deaths, and in some countries this proportion is as high as two thirds. Millions more people are injured in traffic-related crashes while walking, some of whom become permanently disabled.
• The capacity to respond to pedestrian safety is an important component of efforts to prevent road traffic injuries. Pedestrian collisions, like other road traffic crashes, should not be accepted as inevitable because they are, in fact, both predictable and preventable

​

Problem :

​

​

The most common causes of serious pedestrian injuries include drivers that fail to stop at stop signs or traffic lights as well as, distractions playing a part in pedestrian accidents, texting is becoming increasingly common as one of the top reasons. Drivers are paying more attention to their phones than to the pedestrians on the roadways. Moreover, the other reasons such as driving under influence of alcohol and drugs, weather conditions, and speeding. Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable in crashes, as an unprotected body can only tolerate so much force.

​

Community people who are facing this problem:

• Pedestrians in work zones experience at least two broad classes of problems. First, the pedestrian passing by the work zone must be able to find and execute a safe path through the construction. Second, workers in the zone, particularly in highway work zones, must be protected from being struck by vehicles or by objects propelled by impact with a vehicle.
• study showed that about 18% of all accidents involving road workers occurred to flagmen. Overall, accidents to people working on or near the roadway are estimated by the same study to represent approximately one-quarter of the percent of all pedestrian accidents. No similar data for non-working pedestrians injured because they were forced into the street by a construction area which impeded their safe passage are known to exist. There also has been no systematic follow-up research to see if the suggested guidelines for channeling pedestrians through urban work zones have solved the problems.

Major Solution :

​

Pedestrian protection air bag system:  

In the event of certain frontal collisions with a pedestrian, the sensors in the front bumper react and the airbag inflates if required, based on the force of the impact.

​

Vehicles sensors:

Advanced computer sensors around the vehicle to detect people within its proximity. With this information, the vehicle's onboard computer can alert the driver of any pedestrians or other moving objects, such as cyclists, that may be near the vehicle's intended path.

​

​

​

Technologies used:

• New technologies can be used such as artifical intelligence , the use of telematics and automotive technology
• The system monitors the movements of vehicles and pedestrians, and recognises when a pedestrian intends to cross the street. Especially in areas of limited visibility, the system can help prevent accidents.”

​

• Currently the project is at a state where, It does not sense people when they come across the vehicle
• Only automation of traffic is done

​

• Smart camera crash prevention
• Smart signs
• Road side collision prevention
• Night vision
• Collision avoidance system technology
• Intelligent speed adaption
• Adding bsm for vehicles
• Obstacle detention alert
