Can Connected Vehicles
Save Pedestrians Too?
SXSW 2017 PanelPicker
Proposal

U.S. Department of Transportation
Imagine a Transportation System in which
VEHICLES CAN SENSE
Things That You Can’t.
Connected
Vehicles
 Save lives by
significantly reducing
traffic accidents
 Make travel easier,
more efficient, and more
enjoyable
 Help curb pollution
How
Connected
Vehicles Work
1 A wireless device in a car
sends basic safety
messages 10 times per
second
2 Other nearby cars and
roadside equipment
receive the messages
3 Drivers, as well as
pedestrians with mobile
devices, get a warning of
a potential crash
Three Connected
Vehicle Applications
that Can Prevent
Crashes with
Pedestrians

Connected Vehicle Applications Can
Prevent Crashes with Pedestrians
 Transit Bus Stop Pedestrian
Warning
 Mobile Accessible Pedestrian
Signal System
 Pedestrian in Signalized
Crosswalk
Transit Bus
Stop
Pedestrian
Warning
 Warns pedestrians of
transit buses
approaching/departing a
bus stop, as well as
warns bus drivers of the
presence of pedestrians
 Warns pedestrians
getting off a bus of any
vehicles near the bus
stop that may be out of
view, helping to avoid
potential collisions
Illustrative purposes only
Mobile
Accessible
Pedestrian
Signal System
 Allows visually impaired
pedestrians to
communicate with traffic
signals via smart phones,
as well as provides audio
cues to help safely
navigate the crosswalk
 Drivers also receive alerts
of a visually impaired
pedestrian in the
crosswalk Connected V2P Application
Pedestrian
in
Signalized
Crosswalk
 Warns the bus driver
if a pedestrian is
crossing the street as
the bus is making a
turn
Connected V2P Application
