An EU study developed procedures for evaluating vehicle pedestrian-detection safety systems. The project integrated existing protocols with innovative measures, also supplying data needed for decision-making algorithms and injury evaluation.
The proportion of vehicular accidents involving pedestrians in Europe ranges from 19-38 % depending on location. Furthermore the rate has not responded to advances in road safety. A number of EU projects have developed pedestrian-detection technologies but uptake remains limited.
