Probabilistic risk assessment for pedestrian-vehicle collision considering uncertainties of pedestrian mobility.

CONCLUSIONS: This paper presents an effective and efficient algorithm to estimate the collision probability by using UT method to solve the nonlinear transformation of uncertainties in pedestrian motion. Simulation results show that UT-based method achieves accurate collision probability estimation and higher computation efficiency than MC, and provides more valuable information concerning collision avoidance than the deterministic methods in the design of a pedestrian collision avoidance system.
