• Title: CycleSense: Detecting Near Miss Incidents in Bicycle Traffic from Mobile Motion Sensors
• Authors: Ahmet-Serdar Karakaya and Thomas Ritter and Felix Biessmann and David Bermbach
• Abstract summary: In cities worldwide, cars cause health and traffic problems which could be partly mitigated through an increased modal share of bicycles. Many people, however, avoid cycling due to a lack of perceived safety. For city planners, addressing this is hard as they lack insights into where cyclists feel safe and where they do not.

• Abstract: In cities worldwide, cars cause health and traffic problems which could be partly mitigated through an increased modal share of bicycles. Many people, however, avoid cycling due to a lack of perceived safety. For city planners, addressing this is hard as they lack insights into where cyclists feel safe and where they do not. To gain such insights, we have in previous work proposed the crowdsourcing platform SimRa, which allows cyclists to record their rides and report near miss incidents via a smartphone app. In this paper, we present CycleSense, a combination of signal processing and Machine Learning techniques, which partially automates the detection of near miss incidents. Using the SimRa data set, we evaluate CycleSense by comparing it to a baseline method used by SimRa and show that it significantly improves incident detection.

  CycleCrash is a novel dataset consisting of 3,000 dashcam videos with 436,347 frames that capture cyclists in a range of critical situations. This dataset enables 9 different cyclist collision prediction and classification tasks focusing on potentially hazardous conditions for cyclists. We propose VidNeXt, a novel method that leverages a ConvNeXt spatial encoder and a non-stationary transformer to capture the temporal dynamics of videos for the tasks defined in our dataset.

  We propose an environment model that includes the position of the pedestrians as well as their pose information. We extract the skeletal information with a neural network human pose estimator from the image. To obtain the 3D information of the position, we aggregate the data from consecutive frames in conjunction with the vehicle position.

  We propose a novel task of damaged object re-identification, which aims at distinguishing changes in visual appearance due to deformations or missing parts from subtle intra-class variations. We leverage the power of computer-generated imagery to create, in a semi-automatic fashion, high-quality synthetic images of the same bike before and after a damage occurs. As a baseline for this task, we propose TransReI3D, a multi-task, transformer-based deep network unifying damage detection.

  This study aims to reduce the number of vehicle-cyclist collisions, which are often caused by poor driver attention to blind spots. We designed a state-of-the-art real-time monocular cyclist detection that can detect cyclists with object detection convolutional neural networks. We conclude that this cyclist detection device can accurately and quickly detect cyclists and has the potential to improve cyclist safety significantly.

  We show that this challenging learning problem can be simplified by decomposing it into two stages. We use the presented approach to train a vision-based autonomous driving system that substantially outperforms the state of the art. Our approach achieves, for the first time, 100% success rate on all tasks in the original CARLA benchmark, sets a new record on the NoCrash benchmark, and reduces the frequency of infractions by an order of magnitude compared to the prior state of the art.
