On the Required Movement Recognition Accuracy in Cooperative VRU Collision Avoidance Systems

Every year, approximately 350,000 vulnerable road users (VRU), like pedestrians and bicyclists, die due to collisions with vehicles. One approach for reducing this number of fatalities is using VRU collision avoidance systems, which aim at detecting and preventing possible collisions. Existing products for VRU collision avoidance systems using sensors mounted on vehicles may already decrease the number of accidents. However, these products...
