Although passenger vehicles have lower accident rates in urban areas than in suburban ones, there are low-speed maneuvers with higher risk of collisions with pedestrians and more serious injuries accidents. This fact makes necessary the use of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for pedestrian detection in the vicinity of the vehicle. This paper describes part of the results obtained in the development of the project “Integral Advanced Safety Systems for Buses” (SAFEBUS). Specifically, it focuses on the development of a new active safety system to be used in situations of low-speed operation, where the vehicle is approaching or leaving bus stops. The results obtained are based on the development of a system for pedestrian detection in the front and right side of the vehicle (doors), a warning device for alerting the driver, which uses haptic and audiovisual feedback systems (pedals and steering wheel column), and signals generated for acting on the emergency braking system of the vehicle. Likewise, the experimental validations performed for the implementation of the system are described, which have shown the capability to alert the driver and, if necessary, stop the vehicle in dangerous situations to avoid pedestrian accidents.
