ABSTRACT This paper introduces a reinforcement learning method to simulate agents crossing roads in unsignalized, mixed‐traffic environments. These agents represent individual pedestrians or small groups. The method ensures that agents adopt safe interactions with nearby dynamic obstacles (bikes, mo...
