CUDA-X: Unsupervised Domain-Adaptive Vehicle-to-Everything Collaboration via Knowledge Transfer and Alignment.

Recently emerged vehicle-to-everything (V2X) perception has revealed great potential to overcome the limitation of single-vehicle intelligence aided by vigorous interaction among on-road agents, while prior endeavors are practically developed on parameter-specific simulation or configuration-dynamic real-world setting, overlooking the transferability across various scenarios. In this article, we propose nsupervised omain-daptive vehicle-to-everything ollaboration framework dubbed CUDA-X, which is built on top of a de facto collective model with key-point information exchange and instance adaptation. Specifically, collaborative knowledge transfer (CKT) is responsible for domain-agnostic feature reconstruction from nearby car or infrastructure by spatial-channel pooling operation in an elementwise manner.

TransCrack: revisiting fine-grained road crack detection with a transformer design.

Prior convolution-based road crack detectors typically learn more abstract visual representation with increasing receptive field via an encoder-decoder architecture. Despite the promising accuracy, progressive spatial resolution reduction causes semantic feature blurring, leading to coarse and incontiguous distress detection. To these ends, an alternative sequence-to-sequence perspective with a transformer network termed TransCrack is introduced for road crack detection.

3D-DFM: Anchor-Free Multimodal 3-D Object Detection With Dynamic Fusion Module for Autonomous Driving.

Recent advances in cross-modal 3D object detection rely heavily on anchor-based methods, and however, intractable anchor parameter tuning and computationally expensive postprocessing severely impede an embedded system application, such as autonomous driving. In this work, we develop an anchor-free architecture for efficient camera-light detection and ranging (LiDAR) 3D object detection. To highlight the effect of foreground information from different modalities, we propose a dynamic fusion module (DFM) to adaptively interact images with point features via learnable filters.

From Cellular Attractor Selection to Adaptive Signal Control for Traffic Networks.

The management of varying traffic flows essentially depends on signal controls at intersections. However, design an optimal control that considers the dynamic nature of a traffic network and coordinates all intersections simultaneously in a centralized manner is computationally challenging. Inspired by the stable gene expressions of Escherichia coli in response to environmental changes, we explore the robustness and adaptability performance of signalized intersections by incorporating a biological mechanism in their control policies, specifically, the evolution of each intersection is induced by the dynamics governing an adaptive attractor selection in cells.

Logit-Based Analysis of Drivers' Crossing Behavior at Unsignalized Intersections in China.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the crossing behavior of straight-moving drivers when they encounter other straight-moving drivers at unsignalized intersections in China.

Background: In China, when two vehicle drivers encounter at an unsignalized intersection, neither driver completely stops his or her vehicle in most cases. Instead, one driver gradually approaches the intersection and dynamically decides to either yield or preempt by gaming with the other vehicle.
