Object detection in autonomous driving applications implies the and tracking of semantic objects that are commonly native to urban environments, as pedestrians vehicles. One major challenges state-of-the-art deep-learning based object false positives which occur with overconfident scores. This is highly undesirable other critical robotic-perception domains because safety concerns. paper propose...

Collisions between distinct road users (e.g. drivers and motorcyclists) make a substantial contribution to the road trauma burden. Although evidence suggests distinct road users interpret the same road situations differently, it is not clear how road users’ situation awareness differs, nor is it clear which differences might lead to conflicts. This article presents the findings from an onroad s...
