Researchers have developed a new framework for assessing and predicting the criticality of vulnerable road users (VRUs) in autonomous driving scenarios. This novel metric is designed to be scenario-independent, unlike previous metrics that were often tailored to specific situations and focused on vehicle-to-vehicle interactions. The proposed approach significantly improves the classification of pedestrian criticality, showing up to a 50% enhancement. Furthermore, the overall criticality prediction framework demonstrates a 275% improvement over existing methods, achieving a high F1-score of 0.96 and enabling consistent assessment across all traffic participant classes.
