State of the Practice for Passive Pedestrian Detection at Traffic Signals

Thank you

The live event has ended. Recording now available to stream.

This webinar is led by ITE Traffic Engineering Council.

Webinar Description:
Pedestrian detection at signalized intersections has long relied upon push buttons. Yet pedestrians at traffic signals often do not push buttons, and misinformation regarding push buttons is rampant. Historically, detecting the presence of pedestrians without requiring them to push buttons has been a desire for traffic signals. COVID, and the reluctance of people to push buttons accelerated this desire. However, available technology was expensive, hard to maintain, and not very precise. This webinar will review available products for providing passive pedestrian detection at traffic signals.

Learning Objectives:

List innovations in the field of pedestrian detection at signalized intersections.
Describe the state of the practice for passive and touchless pedestrian detection
Explain available products that can be specified on projects for passive pedestrian detection

Policies: This webinar recording is made available on-demand it will have a shelf life of 60 days to register before it is archived. Participants are able to purchase and retrieve their certificate until their access to the content expires. After the content expires and goes into archive, the certificate opportunity is forfeit.
