Intersection Safety Challenge

The U.S. DOT Intersection Safety Challenge aims to transform intersection safety by incentivizing the innovative application of new and emerging technologies to identify and mitigate unsafe conditions involving vehicles and vulnerable road users at intersections. The Challenge complements other Federal efforts to improve intersection safety, with the Challenge specifically focused on the use of technology. Further, the intersection environment itself is well-suited to innovative mitigative approaches leveraging, utilizing, and potentially repurposing existing traffic control and support infrastructure.

Intersection Safety Challenge Dataset

The Intersection Safety Challenge Dataset features a comprehensive collection of conflict/non-conflict scenario data involving various road users, captured under various weather and lighting conditions captured by visual and thermal cameras, LiDAR, and radar sensors.

The data can be used to develop and train models that can anticipate potential conflicts and provide enough time for warnings or other real-time countermeasures. This rich and unique dataset lays the foundation for key research efforts aimed at improving intersection safety.

Users can download sample data and request access to the full dataset from the Intersection Safety Challenge Dataset.
