Abstract: Due to the inherent safety concerns associated with traffic movement in unconstrained two-dimensional settings, it is important that pedestrians’ and other modes’ movements such as bicyclists are modeled as a risk-taking stochastic dynamic process that may lead to errors and thus contacts and collisions. Among the existing models that may capture r...
