| Personal Pedestrian Safety | 'Personal Pedestrian Safety' improves pedestrian, cyclist, and other non–motorized user safety by providing personal location information to the infrastructure that can be used to avoid collisions involving non–motorized travelers. It may also alert the non–motorized user of unsafe conditions, augmenting or extending information provided by signals and signs.

Coordination may continue during the trip so that the route plan can be modified to account for new information. Many equipment configurations are possible including systems that provide a basic trip plan to the traveler as well as more sophisticated systems that can provide transition by transition guidance to the traveler along a multi–modal route with transfers.
