Study of detection algorithm of pedestrians by image analysis with a crossing request when gazing at a pedestrian crossing signal

For pedestrian traffic, pushbutton traffic signals are used. However, pushbutton signal machines are often installed in inconvenient locations. Therefore, a new method is required to allow pedestrians to switch the traffic signals using a crossing request other than a pushbutton. In this research, we paid attention to the motions of the pedestrians with a crossing request, who tend to “stay and watch the traffic signal in front of the crosswalk.” Pedestrian images were captured using a camera built into the traffic signals and analyzed using image processing. A new traffic signal system is proposed that uses the motions of a pedestrian with a crossing request as an input signal.
