“…While comparing to road infrastructure, network systems are promising to improve the safety of the VRUs. Sam et al (2015) identified situations where crashes occurred due to obstructed views of VRUs caused by buildings, junctions, or traffic. They proposed a solution by creating an alert system based on a vehicular Ad Hoc network to give drivers advanced warning and increase their reaction time.…”

“…We summarized the solutions below: Type Description Occlusion • • The vehicle fails to detect pedestrians, when they are blocked by the corner of the building or other traffic (Rostami et al, 2016) • • Two pedestrians are crossing the street right in front of the driver. Of these two, one is walking first and is partly out of sight because of the pillar (Wang et al, 2016) • • A car is making a left turn at the intersection and the VRU is blocked by the opposing vehicle (Jannat et al, 2020) • • A pile of snow in the sidewalk blocks the driver's view and the pedestrian's view (Sam et al, 2015) Lighting Condition • • Poor lighting makes it difficult for the vehicle and cyclists to detect each other when the vehicle is turning right Road Condition • • Sudden lane changing of the front vehicle or sudden cuts of other vehicles; driving in the wrong direction (Wang et al, 2016) Sensor Technology: AVs are heavily dependent on sensor technologies to increase traffic safety and thus advancements in such technologies might reduce VRU fatalities. Combs et al (2019) examined the potential of AVs to increase traffic safety by analyzing nearly 5000 pedestrian-related incidents, finding that combining visiblelight cameras, light detection and ranging, and radar sensors was more effective than a single sensor in reducing incidents.…”

Automated vehicles (AVs) are of great potential to reduce crashes on the road. However, it is still challenging to eliminate all the possible crashes, especially those with vulnerable road users (VRUs). Thus, in this paper, we conducted a systematic review of challenging scenarios involving AVs and VRUs. We identified 39 relevant papers in the literature and categorized the challenging scenarios into three categories: human factors, environmental factors, and vehicle factors. For each category, we summarized the development, challenges, and potential solutions from the literature. Our findings aim to enhance the safety of VRUs when interacting with AVs, and multiple stakeholders must collaborate to 1) improve AI and sensor technologies and vehicle automation, 2) redesign the current transportation infrastructure, 3) design effective communication technologies and interfaces between vehicles, and between vehicles and VRUs, and 4) design effective simulation and testing methods to support and evaluate both infrastructure and technologies.

“…Not all the vehicle-to-pedestrian communication safety systems used the data transmission and accuracy of position as the judgment criteria to access the reliability of the system. Dahlia Sam et al [29,50] proposed a communication safety system which used a Hybrid VANET based on drivers' alert system to judge the reliability of the system by comparing the maximum safe speed of the normal conditions and the situation using the communication safety system. A better chance for the driver's action to avoid an accident via an alert given to the driver ahead of time.…”

Car-to-Pedestrian Communication Safety System Based on the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network Environment: A Systematic Review

2017

Abstract:With the unparalleled growth of motor vehicles, traffic accident between pedestrians and vehicles is one of the most serious issues in the word-wild. Plenty of injuries and fatalities are caused by the traffic accidents and crashes. The connected vehicular ad hoc network as an emerging approach which has the potential to reduce and even avoid accidents have been focused on by many researchers. A large number of car-to-pedestrian communication safety systems based on the vehicular ad hoc network are researching and developing. However, to our limited knowledge, a systematic review about the car-to-pedestrian communication safety system based on the vehicular ad-hoc network has not be written. The purpose and goal of this review is to systematically evaluate and access the reliability of car-to-pedestrian communication safety system based on the vehicular ad-hoc network environment and provide some recommendations for the future works according to throwing some light on the previous literatures. A quality evaluation was developed through established items and instruments tailored to this review. Future works are needed to focus on developing a valid as well as effective communication safety system based on the vehicular ad hoc network to protect the vulnerable road users.

“…Relevant equipment can be installed on the vehicle to sense the traffic information on the road, and an efficient traffic scheduling scheme can be made based on the current traffic information [9,10]. Different sensors are installed on the vehicle to sense the current road and obstacles in real time [11,12], which is the current implementation solution for autonomous driving. Sensors and corresponding devices installed on multiple vehicles can be applied to identify and locate the persons who owned the special identity [13,14], which can make the urban life safer and more convenient.…”

Due to good maneuverability, UAVs and vehicles are often used for environment perception in smart cities. In order to improve the efficiency of sensor data sharing in UAV-assisted mmWave vehicular network (VN), this paper proposes a sensor data sharing method based on blockage effect identification and network coding. The concurrent sending vehicles selection method is proposed based on the availability of mmWave link, the number of target vehicles of sensor data packet, the distance between a sensor data packet and target vehicle, the number of concurrent sending vehicles, and the waiting time of sensor data packet. The construction method of the coded packet is put forward based on the status information about the existing packets of vehicles. Simulation results demonstrated that efficiency of the proposed method is superior to baseline solutions in terms of the packet loss ratio, transmission time, and packet dissemination ratio.
