AI models pedestrian crash avoidance behavior around AVs vs HDVs

Researchers have developed a new deep reinforcement learning framework, SMamba-DDPG, to model how pedestrians behave differently around automated vehicles (AVs) compared to human-driven vehicles (HDVs). The study utilized the Argoverse 2 dataset to capture real-world interactions and found that pedestrians react faster to AVs and adopt lower crossing speeds. Safety analysis of the model's generated data indicated fewer conflicts and higher yielding rates in pedestrian-AV interactions, suggesting the importance of vehicle-specific behavioral models for AV safety and simulation. AI
