Smartphone Usage Restriction During Crossing Roads and Railways

Published: 18 May 2015 Publication History

Abstract

In late years, a number of people walk carelessly while continuing watching a smartphone screen, which often causes fatal accidents. In this poster abstract, we propose a system to restrain smartphone usage at the time of crossing road and railroad based on the combination of the present and past location of a pedestrian, walking direction and walking speed by means of smartphone-mounted sensors. A geographical database that includes roads and railway information is also combined. We achieved a recall of 0.75 against the judgment of ``crossing'' situation.
