Description

The Traffic Risk Information Provision Network (TRIP) is a project that estimates traffic risk during road navigation based on the spatio-temporal deep neural network (DNN) trained by our novel comparative loss function. The purpose of this project is to initate a research method that performs traffic risk estimation from on-vehicle camera image sequence based on detecting moving objects and extracting the moving object regions using an object detection network. Risk estimation experiments were conducted on a combination of real image datasets and virtually simulated image datasets.

As this project is still on progress, we are going to improve the accuracy of the preliminary risk prediction of the model by extending the risk estimation network. In addition, we hope to further evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed network in simulated environment applications by implementing the proposed model in a driving simulator.
