Performance of P-VCASS using a warning area based on pedestrian behavior

Abstract

In order for drivers to detect pedestrians at an early stage and prevent traffic accidents, we have been conducting research on P-VCASS (Pedestrian-Vehicle Collision Avoidance Support System). However, this system cannot adapt to cases where pedestrians suddenly run out to the road. In addition, since warnings are given only on the condition that the warning areas overlapped, there is a problem that warnings are given even when the risk of collision is low. To solve these problems, we propose a new method for determining the warning area based on pedestrian behavior. We show the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments.
