AI Article Synopsis

  • Pedestrian two-stage crossings are designed to improve safety and efficiency at busy intersections by allowing pedestrians to cross in two separate stages, handling one direction of traffic at a time.
  • This paper introduces a new model using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to analyze pedestrian behavior during these crossings, leveraging fluid dynamics principles to assess aspects like speed and density.
  • The study reveals that PINNs provide better predictions of pedestrian flow compared to traditional methods, offering valuable insights for enhancing pedestrian safety and facilitating interactions with autonomous vehicles in smart transportation systems.

Article Abstract

Pedestrian two-stage crossings are common at large, busy signalized intersections with long crosswalks and high traffic volumes. This design aims to address pedestrian operation and safety by allowing navigation in two stages, negotiating each traffic direction separately. Understanding crosswalk behavior, especially during bidirectional interactions, is essential. This paper presents a two-stage pedestrian crossing model based on Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), incorporating fluid dynamics equations to determine characteristics such as speed, density, acceleration, and Reynolds number during crossings. The study shows that PINNs outperform traditional deep learning methods in calculating and predicting pedestrian fluid properties, achieving a mean squared error as low as 10. The model effectively captures dynamic pedestrian flow characteristics and provides insights into pedestrian behavior impacts. The results are significant for designing pedestrian facilities to ensure comfort and optimizing signal timing to enhance mobility and safety. Additionally, these findings can aid autonomous vehicles in better understanding pedestrian intentions in intelligent transportation systems.

Article Synopsis
  • Modelling atmospheric chemistry is complicated and involves intensive computations; however, the proposed ChemNNE uses Deep Neural Networks to quickly simulate chemical concentrations by treating them as time-dependent equations.
  • This emulator employs an attention-based mechanism, sinusoidal time embedding for capturing periodic patterns, and a Fourier neural operator to improve efficiency and handle complex behaviors in the chemical processes.
  • The model is trained with three physics-informed loss functions to adhere to conservation laws and reaction rates, and it is validated using a large-scale dataset that sets a benchmark for accuracy and speed in future research.
