MotoSafety: Edge-AI with Learned Temporal Importance for Two-Wheeler Collision Risk Assessment Under Time Pressure

Powered two-wheeler riders face critical safety challenges in low- and middle-income countries, yet limited studies exist on how cognitive stressors such as Time Pressure influence collision risk. We address this gap by introducing a comprehensive dataset consisting of over 129,000 labeled multivariate time-series feature windows, gathered across 153 simulator rides from 51 participants under No, Low, and High TP scenarios. Across each sequence, we capture 64 distinct attributes covering vehicle motion, rider control actions, spatial proximity, and rule compliance indicators. Using this dataset, we introduce MotoSafety, a new edge-AI framework built on the Learned Temporal Importance (LTI) concept. MotoSafety achieves 94.97% accuracy and 99.33% ROC AUC, outperforming ten baselines, including TimesNet and LLM4TS, and achieves 0.039 MSE and 0.094 MAE for forecasting (4.4x lower error than Time-LLM and iTransformer). With only 1.15M parameters and 0.135 ms latency, it is suitable for edge deployment on low-cost CPU hardware. Using ground truth TP as an inductive bias improves accuracy from 94.09% to 94.97%, while predicted TP achieves 94.82%. Using only 21 IMU+GPS features, it achieves 93.91% accuracy, indicating practical deployment. Beyond PTW safety, the architecture shows better transferability to human activity (97.66%) and clinical (99.65%) domains. This lightweight framework advances PTW collision risk assessment, supporting the Safe System Approach for Intelligent Transportation Systems.

Predicting Time Pressure of Powered Two-Wheeler Riders for Proactive Safety Interventions

Time pressure critically influences risky maneuvers and crash proneness among powered two-wheeler riders, yet its prediction remains underexplored in intelligent transportation systems. To address this gap, we propose MotoTimePressure (MTPS), a deep learning model combining convolutional preprocessing, dual-stage temporal attention, and Squeeze-and-Excitation feature recalibration, achieving 91.53% accuracy and 98.93% ROC AUC, outperforming six baselines, with only 172K parameters, 0.66 MB model size, and 0.21 ms inference on CPU. To validate and benchmark MTPS, we present a dataset of 129,209 feature windows from 153 simulator sessions by 51 experienced male PTW riders under No, Low, and High Time Pressure conditions. Each sequence captures 63 features spanning vehicle kinematics, control inputs, behavioral violations, and environmental context. Our empirical analysis shows High Time Pressure induces 48% higher speeds, 36.4% greater speed variability, 58% more risky turns at intersections, 36% more sudden braking, and 50% higher rear brake forces versus No Time Pressure. Since time pressure cannot be directly measured in real time, we demonstrate its utility in collision prediction and threshold determination. Using MTPS-predicted time pressure as a feature improves collision risk accuracy for both Informer (91.25% to 93.51%) and TimesNet (92.10% to 93.90%), approaching oracle performance (93.72% and 94.06%, respectively). Thresholded time pressure states capture rider cognitive stress and enable proactive ITS interventions, including adaptive alerts, haptic feedback, V2I signaling, and speed guidance, supporting safer two-wheeler mobility under the Safe System Approach.
