TAU-Agent: An Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Framework for Traffic Anomaly Understanding

#16 · paper · Yuqiang Lin, Yan Shi, Sam Lockyer, Harish Tayyar Madabushi, Adrian Evans ·

An agentic RAG framework that uses captioning and open-vocabulary tracking tools to explain traffic anomalies in video.

Traffic anomaly understanding needs more than detection; systems have to retrieve evidence and explain what happened in video. TAU-Agent is interesting because it gives the retrieval agent concrete perception tools, linking captions, temporal evidence, and object tracking into the reasoning path.
