To avoid accidents and achieve a highly efficient traffic flow, it is important to detect VRUs and to predict their intentions. In this article a holistic approach for detecting intentions of VRUs by cooperative methods is presented. The intention detection consists of basic movement primitive prediction, e.g. standing, moving, turning, and a forecast of the future trajectory. Vehicles equipped with sensors, data processing systems and communication abilities, referred to as intelligent vehicles, acquire and maintain a local model of their surrounding traffic environment, e.g. crossing cyclists. Heterogeneous, open sets of agents (cooperating and interacting vehicles, infrastructure, e.g. cameras and laser scanners, and VRUs equipped with smart devices and body-worn sensors) exchange information forming a multi-modal sensor system with the goal to reliably and robustly detect VRUs and their intentions under consideration of real time requirements and uncertainties. The resulting model allows to extend the perceptual horizon of the individual agent beyond their own sensory capabilities, enabling a longer forecast horizon. Concealments, implausibilities and inconsistencies are resolved by the collective intelligence of cooperating agents. Novel techniques of signal processing and modelling in combination with analytical and learning based approaches of pattern and activity recognition are used for detection, as well as intention prediction of VRUs. Cooperation, by means of probabilistic sensor and knowledge fusion, takes place on the level of perception and intention recognition. Based on the requirements of the cooperative approach for the communication a new strategy for an ad hoc network is proposed. The evaluation is done using real data gathered with a research vehicle, a research intersection with public traffic and mobile devices.

Start intention detection is realized using sequences of frame-wise estimated 3D poses. The poses were obtained by image sequences recorded by a stereo camera mounted behind the windshield of a moving vehicle. For training and evaluation, a dataset with 206 starting cyclists was created in real traffic. We demonstrate the advantages of this approach by comparing it to an existing, solely head trajectory based method. In particular, we investigate the performance for different observed time horizons ranging from 0.12 s up to 1.0 s as inputs for the two methods. This is of special importance for the protection of cyclists in road traffic, as they often only become visible to approaching vehicles shortly before dangerous situations occur. With an input length of 1.0 s the solely head trajectory based approach detects starting motions on average 0.834 s after the first motion of the bicycle with an F1-score of 97.5 %. The pose based approach outperforms these results by achieving the same F1-score 0.135 s earlier. The advantages of the pose based method become even more obvious with shorter input lengths. With an input length of 0.12 s, the head based approach achieves an F1-score of 93.5 % after 2.37 s, while the same score is reached after 0.668 s using poses.

Therefore, we are using a network architecture based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) cells, which is able to handle input sequences of different lengths. This is important because, for example, due to occlusions, cyclists often only become visible to approaching vehicles shortly before dangerous situations occur. Hence, the dependency of the results on the input sequence length is investigated. We use a dataset with 206 situations where cyclists were transitioning from waiting to moving that was recorded from a moving vehicle in inner-city traffic.With an input sequence length of 1.0 s we achieve an F1-score of 96.2% on average 0.680 s after the first movement of the bicycle. We obtain similar results for sequence lengths down to 0.2 s. For shorter sequences, the results regarding the F1-score and the mean detection time deteriorate considerably.

This article presents an approach to cooperative tracking of cyclists using smart devices and infrastructure-based sensors. A smart device is carried by the cyclists and an intersection is equipped with a wide angle stereo camera system. Two tracking models are presented and compared. The first model is based on the stereo camera system detections only, whereas the second model cooperatively combines the camera based detections with velocity and yaw rate data provided by the smart device. Our aim is to overcome limitations of tracking approaches based on single data sources. We show in numerical evaluations on scenes where cyclists are starting or turning right that the cooperation leads to an improvement in both the ability to keep track of a cyclist and the accuracy of the track particularly when it comes to occlusions in the visual system. We, therefore, contribute to the safety of vulnerable road users in future traffic.

The first method uses a physical model of cyclists to predict their future position. The second method is based on a polynomial least-squares approximation in combination with a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network and is able to predict the future position of cyclists independent of their motion type such as “Starting”, “Stopping”, “Waiting” or “Passing”. To evaluate the performance of the methods, 566 tracks (394 for training, 172 for testing) of uninstructed cyclists were recorded at a public intersection using a wide angle stereo camera system and laser scanners. Using the tracks as input data, the future trajectory was predicted for a time horizon of 2.5 s. For starting motions the prediction using the physical model leads to 27% more accurate positions than the KF approach for a forecast horizon of 2.5 s. The neural network shows a 34% more accurate result for starting and stopping motions and a similar result for waiting and passing motions.
