Mobile applications for driver and pedestrian assistance

Abstract

In this paper two applications, which fit into the current trend of the development of mobile devices, are described. The first is designed for the driver and the second for the pedestrian assistance. Two traffic events like traffic lights change from the red to the green and vehicle approaching to pedestrian are detected. Proper warnings are generated and the suitable reaction is performed. The car may start movement without unnecessary delay and the pedestrian may change the movement trajectory in order to avoid an accident. Thus, the proper traffic flow and urban safety improvement are supported. Results of initial experiments show a high efficiency of proposed mobile solutions.
