This repository contains the source code for the Pedestrian Mid-block Crossing Application developed in the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Saxton Transportation Operations Laboratory (STOL). The Pedestrian Mid-block Crossing application is designed to allow pedestrians at configured mid-block crosswalks to communicate their intent to cross with drivers approaching the same mid-block crosswalk. This is accomplished via the usage of an Android application and a cloud server component. Using the app, the pedestrian (while in a geofence near the crosswalk) can instruct the server to begin a message broadcast to all driver devices for a period of time long enough to complete the crossing. The driver's app resembles an in-vehicle navigation app and serves to provide audio-visual feedback to the driver when it receives a broadcast from the server.
The goal of this effort is to evaluate the safety impacts of such a concept in a controlled experimental setting during tests conducted at the Turner-Fairbanks Highway Research Center (TFHRC).
Requires:
- Java 8 (or higher)
- Android SDK version 35 (or higher)
- Gradle
