通过对比真实道路图像,用AI学习人们对骑行安全的感知。
Which cycling environment appears safer? Learning cycling safety perceptions from pairwise image comparisons
- 让用户两两比较街景图,选更安全的骑行环境。
- 模型准确预测人类对骑行安全的主观判断,支持实时评估。
- 适合城市规划者快速验证道路改造对安全感的影响。
骑行对城市可持续交通转型至关重要,但安全担忧仍是人们选择其他出行方式的主要原因。传统调研方法耗时且难以捕捉真实感知。本研究提出一种新方法:反复向受访者展示两张真实街景图,让他们选出认为更安全的骑行环境。基于收集的偏好数据,训练一个双胞胎卷积神经网络,采用多损失框架,直接从图像中学习人类偏好,并包含平局情况(以往常被忽略)。该模型能有效预测人类对骑行环境的安全感知,提升干预措施的评估效率。此外,该方法可借助日益丰富的公开街景图像,在不同地区高效部署,实现对骑行环境变化的持续监测与短期效果评估。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cycling is critical for cities to transition to more sustainable transport modes. Yet, safety concerns remain a critical deterrent for individuals to cycle. If individuals perceive an environment as unsafe for cycling, it is likely that they will prefer other means of transportation. Yet, capturing and understanding how individuals perceive cycling risk is complex and often slow, with researchers defaulting to traditional surveys and in-loco interviews. In this study, we tackle this problem. We base our approach on using pairwise comparisons of real-world images, repeatedly presenting respondents with pairs of road environments and asking them to select the one they perceive as safer for cycling, if any. Using the collected data, we train a siamese-convolutional neural network using a multi-loss framework that learns from individuals' responses, learns preferences directly from images, and includes ties (often discarded in the literature). Effectively, this model learns to predict human-style perceptions, evaluating which cycling environments are perceived as safer. Our model achieves good results, showcasing this approach has a real-life impact, such as improving interventions' effectiveness. Furthermore, it facilitates the continuous assessment of changing cycling environments, permitting short-term evaluations of measures to enhance perceived cycling safety. Finally, our method can be efficiently deployed in different locations with a growing number of openly available street-view images.
