AI system NPLB enhances pedestrian safety with real-time adaptive traffic signals

Researchers have developed a new system called No Pedestrian Left Behind (NPLB) designed to improve pedestrian safety at traffic signals. NPLB uses real-time detection and tracking of vulnerable road users (VRUs) to adapt signal timing, extending crossing phases when necessary. Evaluations showed a significant improvement in VRU safety, reducing the rate at which pedestrians are stranded by changing lights. AI
