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.
