Project Description

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).

Prerequisites

Requires:

  • Java 8 (or higher)
  • Android SDK version 35 (or higher)
  • Gradle

Usage

For usage information please see the "Pedestrian Mid-block Crossing Application User Guide.docx" located in the root of this repository.

Building

For complation and installation instructions please see the "Pedestrian Mid-block Crossing Application User Guide.docx" located in the root of this repository.

Testing
