Techniques and methods for providing additional safety for interactions with pedestrians. For instance, a vehicle may identify a region through which the vehicle and agent (such as a pedestrian) pass. The vehicle may determine a time buffer value and/or a distance buffer value based on the vehicle and the agent passing through the region. The vehicle may determine a time threshold and/or a distance threshold for passing through the region in the presence of the agent. The time threshold and/or the distance threshold may be based on a velocity of the vehicle, a safety factor, a hysteresis factor, a comfort factor, and/or an assertiveness factor. If the time buffer value is below the time threshold and/or the distance buffer value is below the distance threshold, the vehicle may yield to the agent. Otherwise, the vehicle may not yield to the agent within the region.
