How Advanced Vehicle Technologies Can Improve Pedestrian Safety

October 25, 2023 • Partners for Automated Vehicle Education • Episode 109

America is experiencing a pedestrian safety crisis: over 7,500 Americans were killed while walking last year, an average of 20 deaths every day. With pedestrian deaths at their highest level since 1981, the U.S. will need to mobilize a wide range of infrastructure and technology solutions to address the root causes of fatal collisions. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) present one of the most promising opportunities to reduce the risk of collisions between vehicles and pedestrians, especially as sensor technologies continue to evolve.

In recognition of Pedestrian Safety Month, join PAVE for an enlightening virtual panel discussion focusing on the transformative impact of sensor technology and ADAS in enhancing pedestrian safety.

Panelists:

Phil Magney – Founder and President, VSI Labs
Chris Posch – Product Manager and Engineering Director, Automotive, Teledyne FLIR
Pam Shadel Fischer – Senior Director of External Engagement, Governors Highway Safety Association
