Multimodal 3D Perception System for Active Safety at Accident-prone Location

Accident-prone locations, such as busy intersections, present challenging safety scenarios where many traffic-related injuries and fatalities occur throughout the state of Michigan. For example, according to the Michigan Traffic Crash Facts Report, more than 30% of fatal crashes take place at intersections. Furthermore, for each person killed in 2020 due to fatal crashes in Michigan, 56 people were injured according to the same report. While camera-based active safety systems used at intersections can mitigate some of these safety issues by detecting and tracking objects within captured video frames, these camera-based systems cannot provide accurate distance information and precise Bird-Eye-View (BEV) maps of the objects within the scene. Numerous technologies exist that could be utilized to provide solutions to these problems, such as LIDAR, cameras, etc.
