Predicting Time Pressure of Powered Two-Wheeler Riders for Proactive Safety Interventions

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces MotoTimePressure (MTPS), a deep learning model that predicts the time pressure experienced by powered two‑wheeler riders using 63 vehicle and environmental features. MTPS achieves 91.53% accuracy and 98.93% ROC AUC on a dataset of 129,209 feature windows from 51 experienced male riders across no, low, and high time‑pressure conditions, and its predictions improve collision‑risk models such as Informer and TimesNet. The authors argue that detecting high time pressure can inform proactive ITS interventions—adaptive alerts, haptic feedback, V2I signaling, and speed guidance—to enhance rider safety under the Safe System Approach.

MotoSafety: Edge-AI with Learned Temporal Importance for Two-Wheeler Collision Risk Assessment Under Time Pressure

MotoSafety is an edge-AI system designed to assess collision risk for two‑wheeler riders under varying time pressure. It is trained on a large dataset of 129,000 labeled time‑series sequences from 153 simulator rides, capturing 64 features related to vehicle dynamics, control inputs, proximity, and behavioral violations. The model achieves 94.97% accuracy and 99.33% ROC AUC, with only 1.15 M parameters and 0.135 ms latency, making it suitable for low‑cost CPU deployment and demonstrating strong transferability to other domains.

Scenario-Independent Criticality Assessment and Prediction for Vulnerable Road Users in Autonomous Driving

The paper introduces a new criticality metric specifically designed for vulnerable road users (VRUs) and a scenario‑independent prediction framework that applies to all traffic participants. The VRU‑centric metric improves pedestrian criticality classification by up to 50 %, while the prediction framework surpasses state‑of‑the‑art metrics by 275 %, achieving an F1‑score of 0.96 on the DeepAccident dataset. These advances enable more accurate, scenario‑agnostic safety assessments for autonomous driving systems.

Pedestrian Crossing Intent Classification From Event-Based Vision Using Convolutional Spiking Neural Networks With Temporal Augmentation

The paper presents an end‑to‑end system that converts driving footage into dynamic vision sensor (DVS) event streams, augments training with simulated DVS data, and trains a convolutional spiking neural network (Conv‑SNN) to classify pedestrian crossing intent as crossing or non‑crossing. The Conv‑SNN, trained with a class‑balanced loss and surrogate‑gradient learning, achieves high accuracy and F1 scores on JAAD and CARLA DVS datasets, outperforming or matching prior frame‑based methods while operating on sparse temporal representations. The study details architectural choices, neuron dynamics, and training protocols, and provides a convergence analysis and domain‑transfer evaluation.
