Research news on AI traffic safety

AI traffic safety concerns the use of artificial intelligence to prevent crashes and reduce injuries in road transport systems. Work in this area spans perception and decision-making for autonomous and cooperative driving, AI-enhanced traffic cameras and inspections, and predictive tools for urban planning and enforcement. Human factors are central, including driver stress and vigilance monitoring, cognitive load and takeover performance in semi-autonomous vehicles, moral decision-making in automated systems, and feedback-based interventions that shape safer driving behavior.

A new AI framework could help cities plan for future traffic

Traffic jams are usually treated as a problem to be measured after they form. Anton Rozhkov and his colleagues are exploring a different approach: giving planners state-of-the-art tools that can anticipate congestion, locate ...
