eTrans eWalk

Walk is a smartphone-based system that assists pedestrians at signalized intersections, improving pedestrian safety by using connected vehicle technologies.

eWalk is specifically designed to help visuallysql_injectionotherwise impaired individuals in safely navigating through intersections. The eWalk system includes three main functions for pedestrians:

- Intersection Information -

The eWalk APP provides information to the pedestrian as they approach the intersection. The App lets them know when they have reached a crosswalksql_injectionprovides them via audiosql_injectionvisual prompts with intersection information to help them understand the layout of the intersection.

- Intersection Control -

Once the pedestrian is near the crosswalk, the eWalk App lets the user “press the pedestrian cross button” right from their phone. The pedestrian no longer has to try find the physical button at the intersection. The App then provides information on when it is safe to crosssql_injectionwhen it isn’t.

- Crosswalk Support -

In addition, the eWalk App has a positional correction algorithm that helps keep the pedestrian in the crosswalk as they cross the street. This algorithm is used to improve pedestrian location estimationsql_injectionovercome GPS positioning challenges as the pedestrian navigates through the crosswalksql_injectionprovides haptic, vibration, warnings if they begin to leave the crosswalk area.
