A Q&A with Lisa Spellman,
patron of pedestrian safety
industry together to address
challenges no one organization
can achieve on its own.
What kind of approach does the
VRUSC take to make roads safer
for everyone?
There are so many aspects to
tackle to make roads safer that
trying to determine how to
approach VRU safety and make a
difference (even a small one) can
feel overwhelming and
impossible. As part of our initial
foundational work, the VRUSC
reviewed and considered the
research and issues in the
context of where industry,
working collaboratively across
the transportation ecosystem,
can make a positive impact to
reduce crashes between vehicles
and VRUs. We analyzed the
current approaches, gaps, root
causes, and potential means to
pre-competitively and
pragmatically address the gaps
and root causes in the context of
the consortium.
What we found is that the
failure or inability of a motorist to
see or detect a VRU, or the VRU
to detect a motorist, can be
caused by many reasons. The
reasons most often cited in
research include inattention and

risky behaviors, such as texting, speeding, or driving
impaired. The inability to detect the VRU due to
infrastructure or vehicular design issues, lack of VRU
conspicuity, and other factors often result in the
inability of the motorist or VRU to take evasive
maneuvers, such as stopping or swerving in time to
avoid a collision.
As a result of these findings, we opted to focus on a
clear, pragmatic approach to facilitate creation and
adoption of best practices and standards to improve
vehicle detection of VRUs to reduce collisions, with an
initial focus on conspicuity and minimum performance
requirements for VRU-vehicle detection.
The VRUSC just published its first white paper, and
there's already a second one coming down the
pipeline. What are the goals of these two
documents?
White paper 1 is titled, " Initial Research Summation
Overview: Vehicle-VRU Safety Landscape. " The
purpose of this document is to provide a concise
documentation of the scope and scale of the global
VRU safety challenge and the potential to leverage
pragmatic, evidence-based technology
countermeasures to reduce these collisions. The
severity of those that do occur is also examined.
