Vulnerable Road Users & C-ITS Helmond s view on the VRUITS project Brussels, 19 th November 2015 Gert Blom Strategic advisor mobility
Mobility policy Helmond Helmond Mobiel 2015 Optimizing the use of existing infrastructure Urban traffic solutions technology driven: ITS Active support of smart mobility pilots and showcases
FREILOT & Compass4D: Energy Efficient Intersection Service Priority at intersections speed & time-to-green advice
Living Lab A270 TNO shockwave mitigation test Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge
The next C-ITS challenge C-ITS for road safety C-ITS for VRU s Combine smart technoloy with smart behaviour
The VRUITS Intersection Safety Pilot 2015
The VRUITS Intersection Safety Pilot 2015 TNO pilot with smart intersection, smart vehicles and smart bicycles Warning both users in case possible collission Automated Braking of the car 14 cyclists 23 car passengers Some first results from the survey: Majority: it improves safety No impact on comfort or route-planning Some willingness-to-pay (53%)
Helmond s view on the Intersection Safety pilot In line with our mobility policy: innovation & co-modality If succesful, come to deployment! Combination with other applications & services e.g. Compass4D View of VTT on deployment now to come >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For more information please contact www.drivenbyhelmond.nl www.vruits.eu g.blom@helmond.nl Mobile: + 31 6 53 21 48 51
Actions and recommendations to deploy ITS for vulnerable road users (VRUs) Pirkko Rämä, Anne Silla VTT Brussels 19 Nov 2015 This project has received funding from the European Union s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 321586

Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection System + Emergency Braking / Short term The detection of VRUs included in Euro NCAP, of pedestrians 2016 ->, cyclists 2018 -> Research to study the allocation of attention of road users in order to assess the risks more accurately and thus to reduce false alarms Design of warnings; research on acceptance of preferred user interfaces Education on correct use of the system (e.g. in driving schools or when purchasing) Review of existing (partial) schemes in operation (eg. London buses) Ease of implementation Estimated cost Stakeholders Easy Low Euro NCAP Medium Medium EC, OEMs, Research institutes Easy Low OEMs, Research institutes, EC Medium Low Driving schools, point of sale Easy Low Research, EC, OEMs, Cities Liability issues in the EU-28 - further clarified Easy Low EC, government Brussels 19 Nov 2015 14
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection System + Emergency Braking (PCDS+EBR) / Medium, long term More research on behaviour of VRUs (improved dynamics and modelling) Improvement of detection accuracy e.g. by using combination of different sensors Better separation at stretches of road for cars and roads for pedestrians & cyclists Research on optimal detection area of the system (cover enough, avoid false alarms) Euro NCAP should consider to include PCDS to increase the attractiveness of the system as part of a vehicle.
