Vehicle-to-Pedestrian Communication
Vehicle-to-Pedestrian Communication refers to technology that enables vehicles to communicate directly with pedestrians. This system uses signals, such as lights or sounds, to alert pedestrians about the vehicle's presence, intentions, or actions, enhancing safety in urban environments.
The goal of this communication is to reduce accidents and improve awareness. For instance, when a vehicle approaches a crosswalk, it can send a signal to nearby pedestrians, informing them to wait or proceed safely. This technology is part of the broader movement towards smart cities and improved road safety for all users, including autonomous vehicles and smart traffic systems.
