Abstract
This paper introduces the Predictive Pedestrian Analytics for Safety Enhancement (PPASE) framework, aimed at enhancing real-time pedestrian behavior analysis at zebra crossings to improve urban traffic safety and facilitate the integration of autonomous vehicles. Addressing limitations in real-time applicability, accuracy under diverse conditions, and scalability of current methodologies, the PPASE utilizes transfer learning and pre-trained models tailored for pedestrian behavior. Leveraging the Pedestrian Intention Estimation (PIE) dataset, enriched with real-time urban traffic data, the framework offers refined predictions of pedestrian movements. Performance is rigorously evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, with the PPASE demonstrating commendable overall accuracy of 92.5% in pedestrian crossing predictions, 89.4% in movement pattern identification, and 93.7% in group dynamics analysis. These quantitative results highlight the framework’s potential to significantly mitigate incidents at zebra crossings and improve crowd management in urban settings, affirming its efficacy as an advanced tool for enhancing pedestrian safety within intelligent urban traffic systems.
