Empirical Validation of a Multidirectional Ultrasonic Pedestrian Detection System for Heavy-Duty Vehicles Under Adverse Weather Conditions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pedestrian accidents involving heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses remain a critical safety issue, primarily due to structural blind spots. While existing systems like radar-based FCW and BSD have been adopted, they are not fully optimized for pedestrian detection, particularly under adverse weather conditions. This study focused on the empirical validation of a 360-degree pedestrian collision avoidance system using multichannel ultrasonic sensors specifically designed for heavy-duty vehicles. Eight sensors were strategically positioned to ensure full spatial coverage, and scenario-based field experiments were conducted under controlled rain (50 mm/h) and fog (visibility <30 m) conditions. Pedestrian detection performance was evaluated across six distance intervals (50-300 cm) using indicators such as mean absolute error (
