Vehicle pedestrian safety system and methods of use and manufacture thereof
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of operating a vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication system, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- acquiring V2P parameters from at least one of a first V2P device associated with a user or a second V2P device integrated with a vehicle associated with the user;
detecting a pedestrian state transition of the user based on the V2P parameters, wherein the pedestrian state transition indicates at least one of a change in a classification of the user from a pedestrian state to a driver state or a change in the classification of the user from a driver state to a pedestrian state; and
actuating a warning to at least one of the user or one or more entities in proximity to the user using the V2P parameters and the pedestrian state transition, wherein the warning indicates the pedestrian state transition.

Abstract
A vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication system and method of operating same including acquiring V2P parameters from at least one of a first V2P device associated with a user or a second V2P device integrated with a vehicle associated with the user. Detecting a pedestrian state transition of the user based on the V2P parameters. The pedestrian state transition indicates at least one of a change in a classification of the user from a pedestrian state to a driver state or a change in the classification of the user from a driver state to a pedestrian state. Further, the method includes warning to at least one of the user or one or more entities in proximity to the user using the V2P parameters, the pedestrian state transition, and the vehicle parameters.

11. A vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication system, comprising:
-
at least one of a first V2P device associated with a user or a second V2P device integrated with a vehicle associated with the user; a remote vehicle associated with a vehicle operator and including a V2V device operably connected for computer communication to the at least one of the first V2P device or the second V2P device using the V2P communication system; and a processor operably connected for computer communication to the remote vehicle and the at least one of the first V2P device or the second V2P device, wherein the processor; receives V2P parameters from the at least one of the first V2P device or the second V2P device and receives vehicle parameters from the remote vehicle; detects a pedestrian state transition of the user based on the V2P parameters, by detecting a change in a classification of the user from a pedestrian state to a driver state or a driver state to a pedestrian state; and generates a warning to at least one of the first V2P device, the second V2P device or the remote vehicle using the V2P parameters, the pedestrian state transition, and the vehicle parameters, wherein the warning indicates the pedestrian state transition. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A vehicle control system for use with:
- a vehicle communications network, at least one source of V2P data about a user and about at least one of a first V2P device associated with the user or a second V2P device integrated with a vehicle associated with the user, at least one source of vehicle data about one or more remote vehicles, the control system, comprising;
a processor that is configured to; access the V2P data and the vehicle data; detect a pedestrian state transition of the user based on the V2P data, wherein the pedestrian state transition indicates at least one of a change in a classification of the user from a pedestrian state to a driver state or a change in the classification of the user from a driver state to a pedestrian state; determine a path of the user based on the V2P data and the pedestrian state transition; determine a path of the remote vehicle based on the vehicle data; and actuate a warning to a vehicle operator using the V2P data, the pedestrian state transition, and the vehicle data, wherein the warning indicates the pedestrian state transition. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
