Local Traffic Safety Analyzer – Improved Road Safety and Optimized Signal Control for Future Urban Intersections

Improving road safety and optimizing the traffic flow – these are major challenges at urban intersections. In particular, strengthening the needs of vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooter drivers is becoming increasingly important, combined with support for automated and connected driving. In the LTSA project, a new system is being developed and implemented exactly for this purpose. The LTSA is an intelligent infrastructure system that records the movements of all road users in the vicinity of an intersection using a combination of several locally installed sensors e.g. video, radar, lidar. AI-based software processes the detected data, interprets the movement patterns of road users and continuously analyzes the current traffic situation (digital twin). Potentially dangerous situations are identified, e.g. right turning vehicles and simultaneously crossing VRUs, and warning messages can be sent to connected road users via vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2X). Automated vehicles can thus adapt their driving maneuvers. In addition, the collected data is applied to improve traffic light control depending on the current traffic situation, especially for VRUs. This abstract describes the LTSA system and its implementation in the German city of Potsdam. The current project state is presented and an outlook on next steps is given.
