The tragic death of another sad reminder of the potential danger for pedestrians by unsafe driver is struck by a vehicle in northwestern Atlanta before recently pedestrians. Serious Atlanta pedestrian accident, which is available in the investigation by the Atlanta Police Department, in that the pedestrian was hit by a vehicle on the road from in the roadway emerge.

While significant progress has been made in recent years to protect of the safety of pedestrians, the recent tragedy serves the Georgia as grim evidence of the danger, pedestrians still. Is decreased while the number of pedestrians, that injured and killed in collisions with motor vehicles in the last decade continuously, is it more than 4,000 people killed and a further 59,000 injured each year after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

There is hope that the new technology of the prevalence and severity of pedestrian can reduce accidents. Some new vehicles are equipped with frontal collision warning systems, including some that can detect pedestrians in the street. Other accident prevention technologies, the pedestrian can reduce accidents include lane departure warning systems, Adaptive Headlights and print preview support.

According to a study by the Insurance Institute for highway safety (IIHS) there were eleven models of vehicles with frontal collision warning systems 2011. The report shows that 1.2 million crashes could be avoided, including 879 pedestrian crashes when all vehicles with frontal collision warning systems were fitted. IIHS report's conclusions are still promising when it comes to making the impact of the installation of such systems with pedestrian identification technology. The report shows that this technology could prevent an additional 39,000 crashes, including more than 2,900 serious crashes.

There are a number of reasons, which could be this technology as effective in preventing accidents and the protection of pedestrians. Accidents where a vehicle straight on the road is the pedestrian towards, accounts for over 60 per cent of all deaths in frontal collisions of the pedestrian zone. The pedestrian accidents are not the result of the obstacles to affect the visibility of pedestrians. The study found that the most pedestrian occur accidents if the pedestrian is cross the road or drive straight on towards the pedestrian. Never, the driver applies the brakes in many of these collisions.

This suggests a high volume of pedestrian accidents occur because the driver inattention. These early warning systems are a great way to distracted drivers a upcoming pedestrian collision to warn. Some of the frontal collision warning systems are also the vehicle brakes if the driver doesn't respond to the warning.
