arXiv:2604. 28065v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although intersections are the most complex parts of the roadway network, pedestrian crashes at non-intersection locations are disproportionately frequent, highlighting a serious traffic safety concern.
arXiv:2606. 12500v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traffic microsimulation combined with surrogate safety measures has increasingly been used as a proactive alternative to historical crash data for predicting crash frequency for current or planned road infrastructure designs.
arXiv:2603. 14841v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Road crashes remain a leading cause of preventable fatalities.
arXiv:2607. 20505v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Surrogate safety measures (SSMs) enable proactive traffic safety assessment, but many existing methods evaluate pairwise interactions independently or flatten multi-agent scenes into fixed feature vectors, limiting their ability to represent heterogeneous interaction structure and evolving scene-level risk.
arXiv:2607. 11128v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time driving risk assessment provides an essential basis for proactive safety by identifying and quantifying the danger of ongoing road interactions before adverse outcomes occur.
arXiv:2607. 29064v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Police crash narratives contain information that may supplement structured crash databases, but manual review is labor-intensive and it remains unclear how well large language models (LLMs) reproduce official crash coding.
arXiv:2606. 00857v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate and reliable vehicle trajectory prediction is essential for safe autonomous driving.
arXiv:2410. 08491v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated vehicles (AVs) promise to enhance transportation safety and efficiency.
arXiv:2607. 24168v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Road crashes remain among the gravest threats to public safety, and preventing them is a defining task of transportation systems worldwide.
arXiv:2607. 07103v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safe autonomous driving requires both rapid responses to common high-risk events and deeper reasoning over rare, extreme long-tail scenarios in traffic safety.
arXiv:2607. 16156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Urban intersections are among the most hazardous locations in road networks, posing significant risks to vehicles and vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians and cyclists.
Safe autonomous driving requires both rapid responses to common high-risk events and deeper reasoning over rare, extreme long-tail scenarios in traffic safety. These scenarios are severely under-represented in naturalistic driving data, and existing trajectory and language-augmented datasets seldom provide high-risk event labels, semantic annotations, and verifiable safety signals.
arXiv:2608. 16913v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Road safety monitoring has historically been reactive, relying on crash-record analysis after fatalities and injuries have already occurred.
