Vehicle to pedestrian communications for protection of vulnerable road users [PDF]
2014 IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium Proceedings, 2014 Vehicle and pedestrian collisions often result in fatality to the vulnerable road users, indicating a strong need of technologies to protect such vulnerable road users. Wireless communications have potential to support road safety by enabling road users to exchange information. In contrast to vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I)

On the safety of vulnerable road users by cyclist detection and tracking [PDF]
Machine Vision and Applications, 2021 Timely detection of vulnerable road users is of great relevance to avoid accidents in the context of intelligent transportation systems. In this work, detection and tracking is acknowledged for a particularly vulnerable class of road users, the cyclists. We present a performance comparison between the main deep learning-based algorithms reported in the

External human–machine interfaces: Gimmick or necessity?
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, 2022 The last few years have seen a wealth of research on external human–machine interfaces (eHMIs). It has been argued that eHMIs are vital because they fill the social interaction void that arises with the introduction of automated vehicles (AVs).

SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLES AND VULNERABLE ROAD USERS
American Journal of Public Health, 2007 We read with interest the article by Robertson,1 and we certainly agree that the sports utility vehicles (SUVs) pose an increased risk to small car occupants as well as vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, older persons, and children.2 In many developing countries, pedestrians, cyclists, rickshaw operators, and moped users represent
