A Pedestrian Crossing Warning System in Cleveland that Included 24 Buses and Three Instrumented Intersections Reduced Bus Driver Reaction Time to Pedestrian Conflicts by 19 Percent.
METHODOLOGY
The buses operated in revenue service for a period of six months, from February to August in 2018. During the first month, the IVS was put into “cloaked” mode (i.e., the system did not…

The deployment of side object detection systems on 257 transit buses in two different transit agencies reduced the side collision rate per 100,000 Vehicle Miles Traveled by 0.186.
FINDINGS
The evaluation quantified the reduction in the type of side collisions that SODS could prevent. The performance of SODS in identifying side objects was limited to objects located toward the…
