HERMES: Heterogeneous Edge-Relational Multi-Head Embedded SSM Attention for Traffic Conflict Prediction at Signalized Intersections

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

hia-gat: A Heterogeneous Interaction-Aware Graph Attention Network For Frame-Level Traffic Conflict Risk Prediction On Freeways

arXiv:2606. 27577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper formulates frame-level freeway risk assessment as a multi-agent scene graph-level binary classification problem, where each video or trajectory frame is labeled risky if any TTC- or PET-based conflict violates a specified severity threshold.

TrajFusionNet+: Transformer-Based Prediction of Pedestrian Crossing Intention via Fusion of Trajectory Representations and Scene Graphs

TrajFusionNet+ is a transformer-based model that predicts pedestrian crossing intention by fusing sequential trajectory data, visual trajectory overlays, and graph-based scene context. It extends the earlier TrajFusionNet with three attention modules—Sequence, Visual, and Graph—to capture temporal, visual, and relational cues. The model outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods on the PIE and JAAD datasets and shows better generalization under a joint‑training, separate‑evaluation protocol.

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.
