vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P)
Vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) technology enables communication between vehicles and pedestrians to enhance safety. This system uses wireless signals to alert drivers about nearby pedestrians and vice versa, helping to prevent accidents. V2P can be particularly useful in urban areas where foot traffic is high.
The technology often relies on smartphones or wearable devices that pedestrians carry. When a vehicle approaches, the system can send notifications to both the driver and the pedestrian, ensuring that both parties are aware of each other's presence. This proactive communication aims to create a safer environment for everyone on the road.
