Cooperative Safety Intelligence in V2X-Enabled Transportation: A Survey

摘要

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) cooperation is reshaping traffic safety from an ego-centric sensing problem into one of collective intelligence. This survey structures recent progress within a unified Sensor-Perception-Decision (SPD) framework that formalizes how safety emerges from the interaction of distributed sensing, cooperative perception, and coordinated decision-making across vehicles and infrastructure. Rather than centering on link protocols or message formats, we focus on how shared evidence, predictive reasoning, and human-aligned interventions jointly enable proactive risk mitigation. Within this SPD lens, we synthesize advances in cooperative perception, multi-modal forecasting, and risk-aware planning, emphasizing how cross-layer coupling turns isolated detections into calibrated, actionable understanding. Timing, trust, and human factors are identified as cross-cutting constraints that determine whether predictive insights are delivered early enough, with reliable confidence, and in forms that humans and automated controllers can use. Compared with prior V2X safety surveys, this work (i) organizes the literature around a formal SPD safety loop and (ii) systematically analyzes research evolution and evaluation gaps through a PRISMA-guided bibliometric study of hundreds of publications from 2016-2025. The survey concludes with a roadmap toward cooperative safety intelligence, outlining SPD-based design principles and evaluation practices for next-generation V2X safety systems.
