Intelligent Solutions to Improve Pedestrian Safety

Despite the efforts of scientists and practitioners, pedestrian safety remains one of the world's most acute problems. According to research by scientists and road safety experts, people (both drivers and pedestrians) often create road hazards. Therefore, it is essential to reduce the impact of human error. To this end, increasingly intelligent vehicles and road infrastructure are being created, along with passive safety measures for pedestrians. Furthermore, intelligent systems are being developed to alert pedestrians, monitor their attention, and analyze pedestrian flows, all of which can warn drivers of dangerous behavior and the risk of accidents. Experience shows that only comprehensive solutions can address strategic challenges, including road safety improvement. We propose an upgrade to the pedestrian push-button traffic light, making it “smarter” through dynamic traffic light phase control based on real-time road conditions. This is enabled by a pedestrian classification system we developed, which categorizes individuals based on characteristics such as age, behavior patterns, and mitigating factors. We believe that a smart traffic light system tailored to pedestrian flow patterns will enhance pedestrian safety and optimize traffic flow parameters.
