Proactive Road Safety Intervention in Australia: Predicting Risky Driving Hotspots from Connected Vehicle Data
The paper proposes a proactive approach to road safety in Greater Sydney by using connected vehicle telemetry to predict risky driving events before crashes occur. It quantifies risky driving with g‑force thresholds and builds spatio‑temporal heatmaps to locate high‑risk zones. Eight predictive models were compared, with ARIMA achieving the lowest error and showing that simple time‑series methods can rival deep learning when data are limited, highlighting the value of IoT data for targeted safety interventions.

PRISM: An Agentic Multi-Model Architecture for Proactive Safety in Autonomous Transportation Systems
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.

A knowledge-augmented dataset of high-risk driving scenarios with LLM annotations for autonomous driving
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.

A Generative Model for Closed-Loop Microsimulation of Signalized Intersections
Traffic microsimulators rely on hand-crafted behavior models that reproduce aggregate flow but miss the heterogeneous interactions between vehicles at signalized intersections. Learned trajectory predictors capture richer interactions but are short-horizon and tend to be unstable when run in closed loop.

INTENT: An LSTM Framework for Vehicle Intention Prediction in Intersection Scenarios with Comprehensive Ablation Analysis
arXiv:2607. 08316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vehicle intention prediction is a pivotal aspect in the agility and safety of autonomous vehicles in all driving scenarios; if genuine enhancement of autonomous vehicles are required, we need to make them adopt human interpretation of driver's intention especially in cases that require a lot of human interaction as well as complex driving behaviors like the ones at intersections, roundabouts and emergency cases such as sudden stops where vehicle intention prediction helps in taking the correct evasive action within a real time period where every second of action makes an impact and can prevent a catastrophe from taking place.
