While there are now systems that allow cars to see pedestrians or vehicles which their drivers may not notice, such setups typically still can’t detect hazards that aren’t in direct line of sight. A new technology, however, uses other vehicles and road… Continue reading “Collective perception” tech lets connected cars see hidden hazards
Many cars are now equipped with pedestrian-detecting radar systems, but those systems can still be blocked by obstacles such as buildings or other vehicles. A new setup is intended to get around that problem, by taking the radar to the streets.Continue… Continue reading Street-based radar system designed to save pedestrian lives
Starting at the end of next year, some of Vienna’s walk-light push-buttons will be disappearing from the city’s pedestrian crossings. Instead, a new system will be trialled, that uses cameras and computers to visually detect when people wish … Continue reading Smart pedestrian crossing system forgoes buttons for cameras
Most people are familiar with the idea that machine learning can be used to detect things like objects or people, but for anyone who’s not clear on how that process actually works should check out [Kurokesu]’s example project for detecting pedestrians. It goes into detail on exactly what software is used, how it is configured, and how to train with a dataset.
The application uses a USB camera and the back end work is done with Darknet, which is an open source framework for neural networks. Running on that framework is the YOLO (You Only Look Once) real-time object detection …read more

The death of an Arizona woman hit by an Uber self-driving car marks the first pedestrian fatality by an autonomous vehicle. Continue reading Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Arizona Woman, the First Pedestrian Death By Autonomous Car
