Technical Report - Draft 1
Problem Statement: The act of jaywalking has always been a threat in road safety, however, insufficient attention was being paid on the issue. Overhead bridges or pedestrian crossings can be located quite some distance away and or, the elderly might have some difficulties accessing the overhead bridge. Furthermore, Land Transportation Authority (LTA) was unable to install a pedestrian crossing at certain locations due to circumstances such as road design. In an event where the road is a sharp bend, pedestrian is unable to utilise a pedestrian crossing, jaywalking could be easily spotted. In such case, other road users such as motorist and motorcyclist will have limited time reacting to any sudden appearance of the pedestrian. Likewise, pedestrian can misread the road condition at the sharp bend which may result in injuries or even fatality.
