4 Near Misses

Near Misses

1. Cars that are going through an intersection (in perpendicular directions) and suddenly decrease their velocity and change their direction to avoid a collision.

2. Pedestrians crossing the street without using the crosswalk.

3. Cars that go out of the street in direction to sidewalk or "no street" area.

4. Cars that don’t decrease velocity when approaching an intersection with people passing through crosswalks.

In order to verify the proposed scenarios (3-4), we will need to extend the Areas of Interest by including "Crosswalks" as well as "No Street Area". This second case will be helpful, for example, to detect train tracks as dangerous zones.

Actual Status

For now, we consider that a vehicle is in a 'near-miss situation' when a sudden change in its speed occurs, meaning that it stopped or got hit by something else. We only draw these situations when there are overlapping ROIs.
