Pedestrian Safety; Classification, Effective Factors and Protective Precautions

Öz

Developments in the automotive field are increasing rapidly. Although the issues in pedestrian safety, which still maintains its importance with these developments, show a decrease in terms of statistical results, it still does not show the major breakdowns that it should show when the developing technology is considered. To understand the development of these technologies and to shed light on future technologies, in this study, first an overview of pedestrian safety was provided and then the technologies developed in the last 20 years were revealed.

Yaya Güvenliği; Sınıflandırılması, Etkili Faktörler ve Koruyucu Önlemler

Öz

Dünya çapında, otomotiv alanındaki gelişmeler hızla artıyor. Bu gelişmeler ile halen önemini korumaya devam eden yaya güvenliğindeki konular ise istatistiksel sonuçları itibariyle bir azalım gösterse de gelişen teknoloji göz önünde bulundurulduğunda göstermesi gereken büyük kırınımları halen göstermemekte. Yaya güvenliği alanındaki bu teknolojilerin zaman boyunca gelişimini anlamak ve gelecek beklenti ve öngörülere ışık tutmak amacıyla, bu çalışmada yaya güvenliğine önce genel bir bakış sağlanmış daha sonra son 20 sene içerisinde geliştirilen teknolojiler ortaya konmuştur.
