The project was part of the internship in the Cyprus Institute. The aim of the internship was to analyse the interaction between the pedestrians and the drivers in the roads of Nicosia, in order to create data that can be exploitted for autonomous vehicles research.
Process
The mean of the observation were eye tracking glasses been wore by a pedestrian. Thus, we extracted the non-typical signals been emitted by the drivers in order to communicate with the pedestrians. These signals were used in order to distinguish the intentions and predict the next actions of the drivers. The results of the experiment will be used to model the pedestrians’ behavior in a 3D simulator from which we can extract informations for applications to the autonomous vehicles.
Tools used
Matlab
Python
Tobii eye-tracking glasses and the corresponding software
Remarks
The RISE research center in Cyprus is interested to develop further this project as part of their objectives to use smart systems as a mean to facilitate, improve and develop sustainable solutions for the Cypriot community.
