What is Pedestrian Detection and How It Works?

With driving comes the words Safe and Dangers on the road. You need to be an expert and also and it’s hard to manage them all the time. There are several ways wherein we can avoid some of the most common problems while driving through the Pedestrian Detection System.

People do avoid the common problems on the road, there are still accidents. We do what we can to avoid them, but a strategy wherein a car could help would prove great for drivers. 

Pedestrian & cyclist detection is one of the greatest safety technologies in the last few years.

Let's learn how it works?

How Pedestrian Detection Works

Pedestrian Detection System works by sensing anybody walking in front of the car and stops. In this system - the vehicle will have a radar or laser sensor to check the coming pedestrians. The sensor can look out for bicyclists or other objects on the road as well. 

On detecting something in the vehicle's path, it will send out audio and visual alerts. The alerts will work as warnings to do something to help bypass a crash/accident. Some systems will also help in the braking means through additional braking power. The system can help avoid the collision or lessen its severity. If your car has a pre-collision system, then one must keep its sensor clean as dirt or debris doesn't allow the sensor to detect anything ahead.

Final Sum-Up - Pedestrian sensors provide security for pedestrians by replacing pushbuttons and sensing pedestrians crossing the street to extend the time of green light. They are used to estimate traffic volume and occupancy rates utilizing a stable sensory function. They are fixed on side roads with low traffic volume and are practiced for recall control to change the traffic light on the side road to green only when a vehicle is identified.
