When Stopping Fails: Rethinking Minimal Risk Conditions through Human-Interactive Autonomous Driving for Safe Transportation Systems
Yash Tandon, Giovanni Tapia Lopez, Marcus Blennemann +2
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are increasingly deployed in urban environments, yet their safety frameworks remain primarily designed around collision avoidance and minimal risk conditi…
Vision-Language Work Zone Intelligence for Safety-Critical Speed Regulation of Mixed-Autonomy Vehicles in Dynamic Environments
Angel Martinez-Sanchez, Kianna Ng, Wesley Maia +7
Temporary work-zone speed limits are communicated through visually inconsistent signage and are often missing from digital maps, creating safety risks for human drivers and automat…
Looking and Listening Inside and Outside: Multimodal Artificial Intelligence Systems for Driver Safety Assessment and Intelligent Vehicle Decision-Making
Ross Greer, Laura Fleig, Maitrayee Keskar +9
The looking-in-looking-out (LILO) framework has enabled intelligent vehicle applications that understand both the outside scene and the driver state to improve safety outcomes, wit…
Vision and Language: Novel Representations and Artificial intelligence for Driving Scene Safety Assessment and Autonomous Vehicle Planning
Ross Greer, Maitrayee Keskar, Angel Martinez-Sanchez +3
Vision-language models (VLMs) have recently emerged as powerful representation learning systems that align visual observations with natural language concepts, offering new opportun…
MTR-VP: Towards End-to-End Trajectory Planning through Context-Driven Image Encoding and Multiple Trajectory Prediction
Maitrayee Keskar, Mohan Trivedi, Ross Greer
We present a method for trajectory planning for autonomous driving, learning image-based context embeddings that align with motion prediction frameworks and planning-based intentio…
Safety-Critical Learning for Long-Tail Events: The TUM Traffic Accident Dataset
Walter Zimmer, Ross Greer, Xingcheng Zhou +7
Even though a significant amount of work has been done to increase the safety of transportation networks, accidents still occur regularly. They must be understood as an unavoidable…
