Title
Enabling WiFi P2P-Based Pedestrian Safety App.
Abstract
Recent studies reported a significant increase in the number of accidents caused by distracted walking. In this paper, we develop a mobile system that provides a timely warning to the pedestrian and the driver to reduce the chance of pedestrian-involved accidents. The proposed system performs pedestrian risk assessment to estimate the collision probability based on accurate user localization, user-phone-viewing event detection, and WiFi P2P-based vehicle to pedestrian communication. Depending on the resulting collision probability, the pedestrian (and the driver) is alerted to prevent accidents. The proposed system is implemented on a COTS smartphone, and experiments are conducted in a department parking lot. Experimental results demonstrate that it effectively calculates the collision probability and sends accordingly an alert message to the user in a timely manner leveraging its improved positioning accuracy, energy efficiency, and effective user context awareness.
