Exploring the Use of Wireless Sensors in Pedestrian Safety Analysis
CARSP Webinar Series
Date/Time
Date(s) - January 27, 2025
12:00 pm EST - 1:00 pm EST
This webinar will explore the advantages of wireless sensors in gathering safety data with a specific focus on pedestrian safety. It will present the results of two experiments which include a real-time system, which can measure safety-relevant data such as the proximity of road users. It will also cover the challenges encountered and future directions for research and development.
CARSP webinars are free for CARSP members. Webinar recordings are posted 1-2 days after the live webinar takes place. They are immediately available to CARSP members, and after one month, to the general public. Not a CARSP member, you have two options for viewing the webinar. You can pay a one-time $50 fee to watch the live webinar, plus have immediate access to the webinar recording once it is posted. To take advantage of this option, check the applicable box on the registration form. The second option is to join CARSP! Join here.
