ACTUAL Pedestrian Flow
Actual Pedestrian Flow - represented in red.
Please study this diagram. It is very important to the problem we are trying to solve.
Motion Tracking
In this concept I tried to develop some kind of pretelling system, which indicates a driver how many people are crossing an intersection when he is going to turn in there. It is neccessary to have some kind of detector and sender and there should be a way of making this situation feasable for the driver.
On the following screens you will see, how the detector might work and how this information could be told to the driver. Although we talked about, that we are trying to do something with the eviroment, for now I decided on a solution inside the car. I did so, because I think, outside a car is enough going on: There are other cars, pedestrians, bikes, signs, traffic lights and so on. So I wanted the signal to be realized very subconciously (ger: unterbewußt).

Skype Conclusions (Oct 13)
two concepts each by Thursday evening.
Notes:
Notes:
- language and medium
- lighting up streets
- another way of lighting to deal with pedestrians
- anticipation/forewarn
- driver needs to know
Pedestrian Behavior Mapping
I took some photos time lapse photos of an intersection from up high to observe pedestrians behavior in crossing a street. These photos are layered on top of each other. The red dots mark where pedestrians wait to cross and the green marks pedestrians crossing the street. These photos were taken about 1-2 sec apart. You can see that the pedestrian waiting area spreads far beyond the curb in urban areas.
