This work addresses safety issues for drivers and pedestrians in motor vehicles, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing emergency braking systems.
The paper tackles the challenge of reliably predicting pedestrian intentions based on position to enable early warnings for drivers, resulting in a demonstration system for early pedestrian warning.
State-of-the-art motor vehicles are able to break for pedestrians in an emergency. We investigate what it would take to issue an early warning to the driver so he/she has time to react. We have identified that predicting the intention of a pedestrian reliably by position is a particularly hard challenge. This paper describes an early pedestrian warning demonstration system.
