Predicting Pedestrian Crosswalk Behavior Using Convolutional Neural Networks

no code implementations8 Aug 2022 Eric Liang, Mark Stamp

After extensive testing of our system in real-world environments, we conclude that it is feasible as a back-up system that can compliment existing crosswalk buttons, and thereby improve the overall safety of crossing the street.

RLlib Flow: Distributed Reinforcement Learning is a Dataflow Problem
