• Abstract: Traffic management systems play a vital role in ensuring safe and efficient transportation on roads. However, the use of advanced technologies in traffic management systems has introduced new safety challenges. Therefore, it is important to ensure the safety of these systems to prevent accidents and minimize their impact on road users. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of the literature on safety in traffic management systems. Specifically, we discuss the different safety issues that arise in traffic management systems, the current state of research on safety in these systems, and the techniques and methods proposed to ensure the safety of these systems. We also identify the limitations of the existing research and suggest future research directions.

  According to the latest provisional statistics released by the UK Department for Transport, Great Britain recorded 1,633 road deaths in 2024.<n>This paper argues that road safety must be managed as a complex socio-technical system where risk evolves dynamically and must be continuously monitored.<n>The framework consists of four steps: 1) List stakeholders who influence road safety, 2) Model the interactions between these stakeholders, 3) List assumptions that might be identified as factors for fatalities, and 4) Monitor these assumptions throughout the system lifecycle.

  We compare two learnable navigation policies: safe and unsafe. The safe policy takes the constraints into the account, while the other does not. We show that the safe policy is able to generate trajectories with more clearance (distance to the obstacles) and makes less collisions while training without sacrificing the overall performance.
