        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/k/2021/10/1_s01r12w8.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ Pedestrian Safety Solutions, LLC is working with the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute on their LED lighting system Auto Motion Alert. The lighting system is outfitted on the front of a vehicle to help alert pedestrians and other road users to how fast and what direction the vehicle is traveling. Paul Schaye, founder of Pedestrian Safety Solutions and Alexandria Rossi-Alvarez, a PhD student at VTTI have both been impacted by roadway accidents and hope their research will help prevent further pedestrian fatalities. Schaye has also donated $40,000 to support VTTI&#39;s mission to save lives. October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, which raises awareness and reminds drivers to look out for pedestrians, cyclists, and other roadway users. ]]></description>
