• Abstract: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are becoming an indispensable part of future transportation. However, safety challenges and lack of reliability limit their real-world deployment. Towards boosting the appearance of AVs on the roads, the interaction of AVs with pedestrians including "prediction of the pedestrian crossing intention" deserves extensive research. This is a highly challenging task as involves multiple non-linear parameters. In this direction, we extract and analyse spatio-temporal visual features of both pedestrian and traffic contexts. The pedestrian features include body pose and local context features that represent the pedestrian's behaviour. Additionally, to understand the global context, we utilise location, motion, and environmental information using scene parsing technology that represents the pedestrian's surroundings, and may affect the pedestrian's intention. Finally, these multi-modality features are intelligently fused for effective intention prediction learning. The experimental results of the proposed model on the JAAD dataset show a superior result on the combined AUC and F1-score compared to the state-of-the-art.

  This research is the first to conduct both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of Vision Language Models (VLMs) in the context of pedestrian behavior prediction for autonomous driving. We evaluate GPT-4V on publicly available pedestrian datasets: JAAD and WiDEVIEW. The model achieves a 57% accuracy in a zero-shot manner, which, while impressive, is still behind the state-of-the-art domain-specific models (70%) in predicting pedestrian crossing actions.

We propose a Scene-Actor Graph Neural Network (SA-GNN) which preserves the relative spatial information of pedestrians. On two large-scale real-world datasets, we showcase that our scene-occupancy predictions are more accurate and better calibrated than those from state-of-the-art motion forecasting methods.
