“…Moreover, the warnings were highly predictive of riskthey had collisions on over a third of the trials and near misses on the rest of the trials on which they received a warning and crossed the road. This is consistent with a recent study using a pedestrian simulator similar to ours that examined vibrotactile alerts sent to nontexting pedestrians when an approaching gap was dangerously small (Coeugnet et al, 2017). Similar to our experiment, participants made safer crossings overall but crossed almost 50% of the alerted gaps.…”

“…Moreover, Coeugnet et al [30] assessed the performance and effectiveness of a vibrotactile wristband device by helping older pedestrians in safer street-crossing decisions. The study was conducted in a simulated two-way traffic environment with a street-crossing task where twenty younger-old (age 60-70), twenty older-old (age 70-80), and 17 younger adults (age 20-45) with and without a vibrotactile wristband participated.…”

“…They also conjecture that the device will be beneficial for all ages but particularly for older participants and specifically for older women who have difficulties in street-crossing. The device also helps to reduce the number of decisions that may lead to collisions in situations when vehicles approach rapidly [30].The authors advise some educational and training programs by using virtual reality tools to educate pedestrians about their vulnerabilities and how to cope with those in order to reduce crash statistics [31]- [33].…”

Advances in technology are not only changing the world around us but also driving the wireless industry to develop the next generation of network technology. There is a lot of buzz building over the advent of 5G that will facilitate the entire planet through continuous and ubiquitous communication connecting anybody to anything, anywhere, anytime, and anyhow regardless of the device, service, network, or geographical existence. 5G will also prove to be a paradigm shift including high carrier frequencies with massive bandwidths, having a large number of antennas, and with an extreme base station and device densities. In this paper, we investigate the potential beneficiaries of 5G and identify the use-cases, where 5G can make an impact. In particular, we consider three main use-cases: vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, drones, and healthcare. We explore and highlight the problems and deficiencies of current cellular technologies with respect to these use-cases and identify how 5G will overcome those deficiencies. We also identified the open research problems and provide possible future directions to cope with those issues. 5G, V2X communication, drones, healthcare, ultra-low-latency, ultra-high-reliability.

“…Recent research started to place the smartwatch itself into the center. Several studies developed vibrotactilebased navigation guidance on smartwatches (Dobbelstein, Henzler, and Rukzio 2016;Cugnet et al 2017). There are also studies focusing on visual-related guidance on smartwatches, addressing the challenges of small screen sizes.…”

The characteristics of a smartwatch impose several challenges regardig the design of a pedestrian navigation aid. This paper illustrates how landmark-based pedestrian navigation systems for smartwatches can be developed, considering the small screen sizes as well as the very limited interaction capacities of these wrist-worn devices. Particularly, by the use of a user-centred design approach, an initial user interface was developed, tested, and refined in two field experiments to create a final user interface. A combination of map view and direction view was proposed, where the map view provides an overview of the environment and route, while the direction view gives clear instructions (turning information) for decision points. The interface was further enhanced by the use of vibrations before decision points. In addition, landmarks were carefully considered and incorporated into both map view and direction view. The field experiments showed that these key features of the revised interface can effectively support pedestrian navigation via smartwatches.
