New Transformer Model Predicts Pedestrian Crossing Intentions

Researchers have developed TrajFusionNet+, a new transformer-based model designed to predict pedestrian crossing intentions for autonomous vehicles. This model integrates sequential and visual trajectory data with a scene graph representation to capture relational dependencies between pedestrians and traffic elements. TrajFusionNet+ has demonstrated improved performance and superior generalization capabilities on established pedestrian crossing intention datasets like PIE and JAAD, outperforming existing approaches. AI

IMPACT This model could enhance the safety and efficiency of autonomous driving systems by improving pedestrian detection and prediction.

    TrajFusionNet+: Transformer-Based Prediction of Pedestrian Crossing Intention via Fusion of Trajectory Representations and Scene Graphs

    arXiv:2609.10806v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The pedestrian crossing intention task involves predicting whether pedestrians are likely to cross the road from the point of view of an autonomous vehicle. We introduce TrajFusionNet+, a novel transformer-based model for pedestrian…
