Abstract
A method for localization of a vulnerable road user (VRU) includes receiving a received signal strength indication (RSSI) level of a wireless signal of a mobile device carried by the VRU detected by a wireless sensor in an area of interest. The detected RSSI level is compared to RSSI fingerprints stored in a fingerprinting database (DB) so as to identify an RSSI fingerprint having a closest match to the detected RSSI level. The VRU is localized at a position stored in the fingerprinting DB for the identified RSSI fingerprint.
