Pedestrian Safety - Exploring the Different Applications for Pedestrian Sensing Detection

Abstract

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about 5,400 pedestrians were killed and over 70,000 were injured in traffic accidents in 2015. On average, a pedestrian was killed every 1.6 hours and injured every 7.5 minutes in the U.S. that year. Clearly, pedestrians are in danger, and drivers need to do more to protect them. Car manufacturers have stepped up to help by offering systems that detect pedestrians and bicyclists and warn the driver.
