This paper proposes a pedestrian detection and collision warning system based on a monocular camera and a millimeter wave radar as one of the active safety technologies to protect pedestrians. The method to decide about the presence of a pedestrian is based on the assumption that objects moving along a crosswalk can be interpreted as pedestrians under certain circumstances. The camera can be used to detect the crosswalk. Data from both sensors can then be used to infer about the presence of a pedestrian. The crosswalk detection algorithm and the sensor fusion algorithm which combines data from the sensors are explained. Besides that the paper describes a visual indicator which informs about the presence of a crosswalk or a pedestrian once they are detected by the sensors. Finally, results from test drives on an experimental vehicle with the system running in practice are presented.
