A controlled intersection employs video analytics to identify incoming vehicles coupled with autonomous driving capabilities in the vehicle to selectively provide intervention for collision avoidance. A camera image of an approaching vehicle is used to identify a range and speed, and to compute whether intervention is appropriate based on a detected distance and speed from the intersection. A vehicle approaching a stop signal (e.g. “red light”) at an unsafe rate of speed triggers an invocation of on-board autonomous systems in the vehicle that provide appropriate warnings and ultimately, forced braking if warnings go unheeded. A registration system maintains a local grouping of vehicles in proximity to an intersection for minimizing latency in vehicle identification for commencing intervention. In this manner, on-board vehicle collision avoidance systems collaborate with complementary traffic control logic at a controlled intersection for preventing inadvertent or intentional disregard of a red signal.
