Abstract
Connected cars and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication scenarios are attracting more researchers. There will be numerous possibilities offered by V2X in the future. For instance, in the case of vehicles that move in a column, they could react to the braking of those in front of it through the rapid information exchanges, and most chain collisions could be avoided. V2X will be desiderated for routes optimizations, travel time reductions, and accident rate decrease in cases such as communication with infrastructures, traffic information exchanges, functioning of traffic lights, possible situations of danger, and the presence of construction sites or traffic jams. Furthermore, there could be massive conversations between smartphones and vehicles performing real-time dialogues. It is relatively reasonable to expect a connection system in which a pedestrian can report its position to all surrounding vehicles. Regarding this, it is compelling to perceive the positive effects of the driver being aware of the presence of pedestrians when vehicles are moving on the roads. This paper introduces the concepts for the development of a solution based on V2X communications aimed at vehicle and pedestrian safety. A potential system architecture for the development of a real system, concerning the safety of vehicles and pedestrians, is suggested to draft some guidelines that could be followed in new applications.
Highlights
In the last few years, a swelling phenomenon of crashes between vehicles and pedestrians [1], which has induced many injuries and even more deaths, has been witnessed [2,3]
Pedestrians collide with vehicles due to the distraction caused by their interactions with smartphones [5] or other Internet of things (IoT) devices [6,7,8]
We propose a possible hardware and software architecture that could be used in vehicles and mobile devices
Summary
In the last few years, a swelling phenomenon of crashes between vehicles and pedestrians [1], which has induced many injuries and even more deaths, has been witnessed [2,3]. The concepts for the development of an approach based on V2X communications aiming at vehicle and pedestrian safety is proposed. This article aims to introduce the fundamental notions that a potential application for driver and pedestrian safety should support. To this end, we propose a possible hardware and software architecture that could be used in vehicles and mobile devices. Based on the precise moment, it will be possible to appropriately manipulate four specific parameters that will allow interacting in the best way with the pedestrian
