This paper presents a novel approach for hazard analysis in dashcam footage, addressing the detection of driver reactions to hazards, the identification of hazardous objects, and the generation of descriptive captions. We first introduce a…
Safe road-crossing by self-driving vehicles is a crucial problem to address in smart-cities. In this paper, we introduce a multi-sensor fusion approach to support road-crossing decisions in a system composed by an autonomous wheelchair and…
Safe overtaking, especially in a bidirectional mixed-traffic setting, remains a key challenge for Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs). The presence of human-driven vehicles (HDVs), behavior unpredictability, and blind spots resulting from…
In modern metropolitan cities, the task of ensuring safe roads is of paramount importance. Automated systems of e-challans (Electronic traffic-violation receipt) are now being deployed across cities to record traffic violations and to issue…
We consider a mixed-traffic environment in transportation systems, where Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) coexist with potentially non-cooperative Human-Driven Vehicles (HDVs). We develop a cooperation compliance control framework to…
While emerging deep-learning systems have outclassed knowledge-based approaches in many tasks, their application to detection tasks for autonomous technologies remains an open field for scientific exploration. Broadly, there are two major…
Recently, e-scooter-involved crashes have increased significantly but little information is available about the behaviors of on-road e-scooter riders. Most existing e-scooter crash research was based on retrospectively descriptive media…
The widespread adoption of dashcams has made video evidence in traffic accidents increasingly abundant, yet transforming "what happened in the video" into "who is responsible under which legal provisions" still relies heavily on human…
Highway on-ramp merging areas are common bottlenecks to traffic congestion and accidents. Currently, a cooperative control strategy based on connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) is a fundamental solution to this problem. While CAVs are…
Rapid motorization in emerging economies such as India has created severe enforcement asymmetries, with over 11 million recorded violations in 2023 against a human policing density of roughly one officer per 4000 vehicles. Traditional…
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is promising for traffic monitoring, but its extensive data and sensitivity to vibrations, causing noise, pose computational challenges. To address this, we propose a two-step deep-learning workflow with…
Accident detection and traffic analysis is a critical component of smart city and autonomous transportation systems that can reduce accident frequency, severity and improve overall traffic management. This paper presents a comprehensive…
Manual traffic surveillance can be a daunting task as Traffic Management Centers operate a myriad of cameras installed over a network. Injecting some level of automation could help lighten the workload of human operators performing manual…
Double parking that often negatively affects traffic operations and safety is not a new phenomenon on urban streets. This study proposes a novel data-driven integrated framework for estimating the actual frequency of double parking so that…
Compliance with traffic laws is a fundamental requirement for human drivers on the road, and autonomous vehicles must adhere to traffic laws as well. However, current autonomous vehicles prioritize safety and collision avoidance primarily…
Event cameras are a promising candidate to enable high speed vision-based control due to their low sensor latency and high temporal resolution. However, purely event-based feedback has yet to be used in the control of drones. In this work,…
Traffic accidents are a leading cause of fatalities and injuries across the globe. Therefore, the ability to anticipate hazardous situations in advance is essential. Automated accident anticipation enables timely intervention through driver…
In order for autonomous vehicles to become a part of the Intelligent Transportation Ecosystem, they are required to guarantee a particular level of safety. For that to happen a safe vehicle control algorithms need to be developed, which…
The increase in vehicle ownership has led to increased traffic congestion, more accidents, and higher carbon emissions. Vehicle platooning is a promising solution to address these issues by improving road capacity and reducing fuel…
As Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) develops, Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) are expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion through cooperative strategies, such as in bottleneck areas. However, the uncertainty and…
