The paper introduces a new criticality metric specifically designed for vulnerable road users (VRUs) and a scenario‑independent prediction framework that applies to all traffic participants. The VRU‑centric metric improves pedestrian criticality classification by up to 50 %, while the prediction framework surpasses state‑of‑the‑art metrics by 275 %, achieving an F1‑score of 0.96 on the DeepAccident dataset. These advances enable more accurate, scenario‑agnostic safety assessments for autonomous driving systems.
arXiv:2511. 14592v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) show great promise for autonomous driving, but their suitability for safety-critical scenarios is largely unexplored, raising safety concerns.
arXiv:2510. 03314v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ensuring the safety of vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and cyclists, remains a critical challenge, as conventional infrastructure-based measures are often insufficient in dynamic urban environments.
arXiv:2606. 17362v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous driving has shifted towards end-to-end policy learning, where reliable, interpretable policy evaluation is a fundamental challenge as driving quality is highly context-dependent.

PRISM (Proactive Risk Intelligence and Safety Management) is an agentic multi-model architecture designed to shift autonomous transportation safety from reactive crash avoidance to proactive, continuous risk management. It uses inverse crash‑probability modeling to transform binary crash classifiers into dynamic safety scores, and runs three specialized models—trajectory kinematics, environmental risk, and VRU interaction—coordinated by a reinforcement‑learning reasoning layer. Across 1,296 naturalistic driving scenarios, PRISM achieved a mean safety score of 68/100, classified 77.6% of situations as advisory, and flagged 3.8% as near‑misses, with 11% requiring intervention or emergency response, highlighting trajectory risk and VRU proximity as key safety factors.

MotoSafety is an edge-AI system designed to assess collision risk for two‑wheeler riders under varying time pressure. It is trained on a large dataset of 129,000 labeled time‑series sequences from 153 simulator rides, capturing 64 features related to vehicle dynamics, control inputs, proximity, and behavioral violations. The model achieves 94.97% accuracy and 99.33% ROC AUC, with only 1.15 M parameters and 0.135 ms latency, making it suitable for low‑cost CPU deployment and demonstrating strong transferability to other domains.
