Current studies in pedestrian-vehicle conflicts have focused on the sensors installed on the vehicle. In this study, in addition to the driver on the vehicle, we use the pedestrian signal to take the initiative to inform the pedestrians crossing a street and the driver who is heading to the pedestrian crossing concerning the degree of risk.We use a multi-agent system so that the intersection agents and vehicle agents can communicate. By communicating, vehicle agents can obtain the pedestrian information of the intersection ahead. Each intersection has an intersection agent monitoring the intersection, and we allow more than one vehicle agent which represents each vehicle. When the vehicle agents enter a new intersection, they will receive data from the intersection agent and combine with vehicle information to estimate the conflict-related parameters. We use a two-stage warning method, the warning stage and the command stage, which are performed according to the distance from vehicle to the conflict area. We have developed an agent-based simulation system for a pedestrian warning system that has a pedestrian signal and an active warning system on vehicles to achieve driver personalization and improve road safety.
