11. Predicting Pedestrian Behavior in Urban Traffic Scenarios Using Deep Learning Methods
Abstract : Background: The statistics on global road safety show a great demand for reducing the fatalities caused by pedestrian-vehicle collisions. By utilizing artificial intelligence such as deep learning, human drivers can be supported by better driver assistance systems, and thereby the fatalities caused by human errors can be reduced.

12. Virtual Human Characters for Autonomous Vehicle-to-Pedestrian Communication
Abstract : Pedestrians base their street-crossing decisions on both vehicle-centric cues, like speed and acceleration, and driver-centric cues, like gaze direction and facial expression. In the future, however, drivers of autonomous vehicles will be preoccupied with non-driving related activities and thus unavailable to provide pedestrians with relevant communicative cues. READ MORE

13. Analysis of Sensing Systems for the Detection of Pedestrian Impacts
Abstract : In order to reduce pedestrian casualties in vehicle traffic accidents, safety countermeasures, for example the active hood system and external airbag system, have been proposed to protect pedestrians in vehicle collisions. Such a protection system must consist of a sensing system to detect the pedestrian impact and/or the potential impact. READ MORE

14. Driver interaction with vulnerable road users: Modelling driver behaviour in crossing scenarios
Abstract : Every year, more than 5000 pedestrians and 2000 cyclists die on European roads. These vulnerable road users (VRUs) are especially at risk when interacting with cars. Intelligent safety systems (ISSs), designed to mitigate or avoid crashes between cars and VRUs, first entered the market a few years ago, and still need to be improved to be effective. READ MORE

15. Walking in old age: A year-round perspective on accessibility in the outdoor environment and effects of measures taken
Abstract : Accessibility throughout society has been gaining interest on both international and national levels in order to meet the transportation needs of, for example, older people as pedestrians. The overall aim of this thesis is to examine the implementation process in municipal planning, and effects of measures taken, to achieve barrier-free outdoor environments the year round. READ MORE
