Title
Traffic light status detection using movement patterns of vehicles
Abstract
Vision-based methods for detecting the status of traffic lights used in autonomous vehicles may be unreliable due to occluded views, poor lighting conditions, or a dependence on unavailable high-precision meta-data, which is troublesome in such a safety-critical application. This paper proposes a complementary detection approach based on an entirely new source of information: the movement patterns of other nearby vehicles. This approach is robust to traditional sources of error, and may serve as a viable supplemental detection method. Several different classification models are presented for inferring traffic light status based on these patterns. Their performance is evaluated over real and simulated data sets, resulting in up to 97% accuracy in each set.
