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:2607. 23870v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Smart-city airspace is transforming Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) from passive sensing platforms into cyber-physical decision makers that must follow operational rules under degraded observations and ambiguous language.
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: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.
The paper proposes Neuro‑Symbolic Agentic AI (NSAAI) as a framework that blends neural grounding, symbolic reasoning, and closed‑loop interaction to enhance decision‑making for networked low‑altitude UAVs. It outlines NSAAI’s strengths in data efficiency, compositional generalization, continual learning, and zero‑shot transfer, and presents a reference architecture covering task management, planning, verification, skill execution, and network interaction. An urban fire‑inspection simulation demonstrates how a UAV can coordinate sensing, cloud access, and verified image‑delivery skills under intermittent connectivity, illustrating NSAAI’s potential for reusable skills, evidence‑grounded decisions, and adaptive mission execution.
