The 10th AI City Challenge, held alongside ECCV 2026, celebrates a decade of benchmarking for intelligent transportation, smart cities, and physical AI. Since its 2017 inception focused on vehicle detection, classification, and tracking, the challenge has expanded into a comprehensive benchmark suite covering multi‑camera perception, multimodal reasoning, synthetic‑to‑real learning, generative forecasting, and privacy‑preserving evaluation. The 2026 edition saw 325 registered teams from 26 countries, with six main tracks—spanning multi‑camera 3D perception, transportation safety captioning and VQA, traffic anomaly reasoning, text‑based person anomaly search, generative traffic video forecasting, and cross‑city object detection—plus two out‑of‑domain leaderboards for fisheye traffic‑violation understanding and pedestrian situated‑intent VQA.
arXiv:2608. 14651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective disaster risk communication is a foundational humanitarian challenge, yet current emergency infrastructure fails to meet the needs of individuals with access and functional needs, including hard-of-hearing individuals, pregnant women, mothers with toddlers, and elderly individuals with dementia.
arXiv:2606. 06217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a disaster unfolds, responders must answer not only what is happening, but also why it is happening, what will happen next, and what to do now, often from noisy low-altitude UAV views and under tight on-site compute constraints.
arXiv:2608. 13031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traffic video understanding has become an important problem in intelligent transportation, as road videos provide direct evidence for accidents, violations, and interactions between vehicles and vulnerable road users.
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 (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.

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.
