Mitigating Vulnerable Road Users Occlusion Risk Via Collective Perception: An Empirical Analysis

arXiv:2404.07753v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Recent reports from the World Health Organization highlight that Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) have been involved in over half of the road fatalities in recent years, with occlusion risk - a scenario where VRUs are hidden from drivers' view by obstacles like parked vehicles - being a critical contributing factor. To address this, we present a novel algorithm that quantifies occlusion risk based on the dynamics of both vehicles and VRUs. This algorithm has undergone …
