Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to identifying and assisting pedestrians identified as experiencing impaired decision-making capabilities. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, from interaction data collected by a user device of a pedestrian, an interaction characteristic of the pedestrian. The method also includes classifying the pedestrian as in an impaired decision-making state based on the interaction characteristic of the pedestrian deviating from baseline interaction data. The method further includes producing a pedestrian assistance countermeasure responsive to a determined impaired decision-making state for the pedestrian.
