PT Journal AU Obermann, J Kovanda, J TI Pedestrian Detection SO Transactions on Transport Sciences PY 2009 BP 128 EP 133 VL 2 IS 3 DI 10.5507/tots.2009.018 DE collision avoidance; object tracking; object detection; field of view; visibility. AB Driving maneuvers are described that may reduce collision consequences or that can prevent collision, in this case, with the vulnerable road user - the pedestrian. For such a level of collision prevention, some intelligent system is needed. A simple, builtin near infra red night-vision system for vehicles is described, along with results of the tests focusing on increasing the visibility of a pedestrian. ER
