SafeCrossAI: Intelligent Intersection Safety

AI mobility research · Active · 2025–Present

SafeCrossAI investigates how infrastructure-based AI can understand multi-agent traffic scenes, predict vulnerable road-user motion, and estimate safety-critical interactions at smart intersections.

Abstract

Develop a research platform for vulnerable road-user trajectory prediction, interaction modelling, risk assessment, and intelligent intersection safety.

Scientific question: Can infrastructure-based AI predict vulnerable road-user motion and expose uncertainty for safer intersection decisions?

Contribution: A smart-intersection research platform with baseline prediction, social features, and risk utilities.

Research questions

  • How can infrastructure perception improve vulnerable road-user trajectory prediction?
  • Which social interaction features are useful for safety-critical forecasting?
  • How can uncertainty-aware prediction support connected and autonomous mobility?

Experiments and metrics

Experiments

  • Constant-velocity baseline
  • Neighbor search
  • Pairwise social features
  • Interaction graph construction

Metrics

  • ADE
  • FDE
  • time-to-collision
  • calibration error — planned

Quantitative benchmark tables will be added only after reproducible experiments are available.

Limitations

  • Quantitative claims are intentionally withheld until reproducible benchmark runs are available.
  • Visual figures and GIFs are placeholders unless a project page explicitly states that an artifact is generated from real experiments.

Reproducibility plan

Experiment workflow

Each module is prepared to document configuration files, datasets, evaluation metrics, and repeated experiment runs before quantitative claims are shown.

Repository setup

Public repositories are linked when available. Private, planned, or incomplete repositories remain clearly labelled rather than being presented as finished systems.

Literature context

  • Trajectory forecasting
  • Social interaction modelling
  • VRU safety
  • Intelligent transportation systems

Roadmap

  • Add public dataset loaders
  • Integrate graph neural predictors
  • Build visualization dashboard
