z Vulnerable Road User Safety (example project)

Project Description: The Vulnerable Road User Safety project is an example framework for future CAV systems as a reference/guide in support of stakeholder discussion, ITS planning, or grant applications. The project includes the sensing and warning systems used to interact with pedestrians, cyclists, wheel chair users, scooter riders, and other vulnerable road users that are on pathways that are immediately adjacent to or intersect the roadway. These systems allow automated warning or active protection for vulnerable road users. It integrates traffic and vulnerable road user information from roadside or intersection detectors and data from wirelessly connected, traveler–carried mobile devices to request right–of–way or to inform pedestrians when to cross and how to remain aligned with the crosswalk or pathway based on real–time Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) and MAP information. In some cases, priority will be given to non–motorized travelers, such as persons with disabilities who need additional crossing time, or in special conditions (e.g., weather) where non–motorized travelers may warrant priority or additional crossing time.
