This document describes a pedestrian alert system (112) that can draw a driver's attention to a pedestrian on or near a roadway. The described pedestrian alert system (112) can help prevent collisions with pedestrians and other objects in poor visibility environments or when drivers may be distracted. For example, a system can determine a presence of an object (106) in or near a travel path of a host vehicle (102). The system can also determine the object's position relative to the host vehicle (102) and control a light bar (208, 208-1, 208-2) to provide an indication of the object (106). The indication can have specific characteristics to indicate the object's position relative to the host vehicle (102). In this way, the described pedestrian alert system (112) can utilize sensors (108, 110) to focus a driver's attention on an object (106) before a potential crash occurs and reduce the number of traffic-related deaths.
