Cooperative Pedestrian Safety Framework using 5G-NR V2P Communications

Over the past several years, there has been a growing focus on research aimed at decreasing the rising number of pedestrian fatalities in traffic accidents. Advances in Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) communications have opened up new possibilities for improving pedestrian safety, but these potential solutions have yet to be thoroughly explored. This paper outlines a cooperative pedestrian safety framework (CPSF) for non-signalized pedestrian crossings that leverages 5G-NR V2P communications to warn both pedestrians and drivers. The framework also considers the limited battery power of pedestrian equipment. According to the results of the analysis and evaluation, the proposed CPSF significantly reduces the occurrence of vehicle-pedestrian collisions while conserving battery power, making the road safety framework more feasible.
