| contents | Robust pedestrian safety is crucial to the next-generation of intelligent transportation systems. Such systems rely on active pedestrian localization and predictive collision alerts. Pedestrian localization can be supported by Ultra-Wideband technology and Bluetooth 6.0, which offer high-precision ranging and low-latency communication, making them promising candidates for vehicular collision warning systems. This paper assesses the localization accuracy of these technologies for pedestrian alerting and benchmarks their performance against Global Navigation Satellite Systems. Experimental evaluations performed in this paper focused on key performance metrics, including localization accuracy and robustness to environmental conditions. Preliminary results suggest that Ultra-Wideband and Bluetooth 6.0 can serve as viable alternatives or complements to Global Navigation Satellite Systems in certain scenarios, improving situational awareness and enabling timely pedestrian alerts. |
