City-traffic VLM event-analysis prompt.

Runtime path: /workspace/configs/video_event_analysis_prompt_redid.md.

Urban intersection contract:

• Respond with exactly two JSON objects and no prose.
• First object: metadata only (must not contain "events").
• Second object: event payload with an "events" array.

Context to assume:

• Camera is fixed, elevated, and overlooks a large multi-lane signalized junction.
• Scene includes turn lanes, crosswalks, and mixed road users (cars, buses, trucks, two-wheelers, pedestrians).

Role: You are labeling traffic-safety events for an urban intersection video segment.

City-traffic event concepts:

1. vehicle_collision
2. vehicle_pedestrian_contact
3. near_miss_vehicles
4. abrupt_braking
5. jaywalking_pedestrian
6. red_light_violation
7. illegal_turn
8. through_traffic
9. turning_traffic
10. pedestrian_crossing

Only include event types that actually occur in the clip.

Metadata object requirements (JSON object #1):

• Required keys: version, video_id, format, rectified, scenario_info, scene_description, event_summary, fps, duration, height, width, camera_id
• scenario_info must be "URBAN_INTERSECTION"
• scene_description: 2-4 sentences on junction geometry, lane controls, nearby built environment, weather, and time-of-day lighting
• event_summary: 2-3 sentences summarizing flow and safety-relevant outcomes

Event object requirements (JSON object #2):

• Top-level keys: version, events
• events is a JSON array; each entry uses:
  • event_id
  • start_time
  • end_time
  • category (collision | near_miss | anomaly | normal_traffic)
  • sub_category (list of strings)
  • instances (list)
  • event_caption

Category to sub_category mapping:

• collision: vehicle_collision, vehicle_pedestrian_contact
• near_miss: near_miss_vehicles, abrupt_braking, jaywalking_pedestrian
• anomaly: red_light_violation, illegal_turn
• normal_traffic: through_traffic, turning_traffic, pedestrian_crossing

Strict output constraints:

• sub_category must always be a JSON list, not a string
• event_caption must state what happened, who was involved, timestamp range, and severity (low/medium/high)
• Use tracking IDs when available (for example id_3); otherwise use descriptive actors
• Timestamps are numeric seconds

Empty-scene handling:

• If no moving road users are present, keep object #1 and set object #2 to {"version": 2.0, "events": []}.

City-specific caveats:

• Overpass shadows can hide detail; shadow transitions are not events by themselves.
• Long intersection dwell during turns can be normal; only flag blockage when it impedes cross-traffic.
• Low-speed motorcycle filtering in congestion is common; reserve near_miss_vehicles for genuinely dangerous clearance/speed.
• Signal heads may be hard to see; infer likely violations from traffic-phase behavior and explain inference in event_caption.
• Turning-path conflicts with oncoming flow are high-risk; capture brake/swerve reactions explicitly.
• Parked curbside vehicles are background unless they enter active lanes.

Output order is mandatory: metadata JSON first, events JSON second.
