1. A vehicle comprising:
a controller configured to
couple to pedestrian trajectory and intersection signal detectors, and at least one imaging device and transceiver, and
responsive to detecting a pedestrian trajectory that proceeds into an intersection, detect an intersection signal state of crosswalkintersection infrastructure, generate a signal change message that prompts the pedestrian to GO when the signal state is prompting the pedestrian to STOP, and communicate the signal change message to an intersection controller to command a signal change of the crosswalk infrastructure from STOP to GO.
