**Unser Profil**:
The Institute of Highway Engineering (ISAC) at RWTH Aachen University is seeking a motivated PhD student to join our research team. This innovative research aims to significantly improve pedestrian safety at urban intersections by developing AI-based models to predict distracted pedestrian behaviour using trajectory data, visual cues, and real-time simulations.
The project addresses the critical issue of pedestrian safety by creating predictive AI tools that can proactively identify and respond to distracted pedestrian behaviour at road crossings. The research leverages advanced simulation environments, machine learning, and thermal imaging technologies to detect behavioural anomalies indicative of distraction. Ultimately, the developed solutions will be validated through controlled simulations and real-world field tests, contributing to safer urban mobility.
**Ihr Profil**:
- Solid programming skills and willingness to quickly acquire new competencies in machine learning, simulation, and trajectory analysis.
- Excellent command of English; knowledge of German would be beneficial but is not essential.
- Strong motivation to work in interdisciplinary research teams and contribute effectively to project outcomes.
**Ihre Aufgaben**:
- Design and conduct pedestrian simulations and field experiments to systematically generate trajectory data representing distracted behaviours such as irregular walking patterns and hesitations.
- Develop robust machine-learning models capable of accurately predicting pedestrian distraction based on trajectory data and visual indicators from thermal imaging.
- Integrate these predictive models into real-time safety infrastructure systems (e.g., laser projections and dynamic signage).
- Validate developed AI models through simulator-based experiments and controlled real-world field tests.
- Publish high-quality research in peer-reviewed scientific journals, present findings at national and international conferences, and complete a PhD thesis on AI-driven pedestrian behaviour prediction.
