Safe autonomous driving requires both rapid responses to common high-risk events and deeper reasoning over rare, extreme long-tail scenarios in traffic safety. These scenarios are severely under-represented in naturalistic driving data, and existing trajectory and language-augmented datasets seldom provide high-risk event labels, semantic annotations, and verifiable safety signals. Here we present K-Risk, a knowledge-augmented dataset that combines structured driving trajectories with large language model generated semantic annotations for safety-critical driving scenarios. K-Risk integrates 20 human-driven and autonomous-vehicle trajectory datasets from Europe, China, and the United States, covering highways, urban freeways, intersections, and roundabouts. Using a unified risk-centric extraction pipeline, K-Risk curates 31,398 high-risk events, together with a 1,036-event extreme subset of near-collision cases. Each event is released as a synchronized trajectory, metadata, and language triplet containing structured scenario descriptions, abnormal-behavior notifications, and, for a representative subset, causal risk analyses and action recommendations validated through a closed-loop simulator with iterative reflection. By combining multi-dimensional risk annotations, interpretable language supervision, and verifiable decisions, K-Risk bridges structured traffic trajectories, semantic reasoning, and decision supervision, providing a standardized foundation for developing and evaluating next-generation risk-aware autonomous driving agents.

A reliable short-term transportation demand prediction supports the authorities in improving the capability of systems by optimizing schedules, adjusting fleet sizes, and generating new transit networks. A handful of research efforts incorporate one or a few areal features while learning spatio-temporal correlation, to capture similar demand patterns between similar areas. However, urban characteristics are polymorphic, and they need to be understood by multiple areal features such as land use, sociodemographics, and place-of-interest (POI) distribution. In this paper, we propose a novel spatio-temporal multi-feature-aware graph convolutional recurrent network (ST-MFGCRN) that fuses multiple areal features during spatio-temproal understanding. Inside ST-MFGCRN, we devise sentinel attention to calculate the areal similarity matrix by allowing each area to take partial attention if the feature is not useful. We evaluate the proposed model on two real-world transportation datasets, one with our constructed BusDJ dataset and one with benchmark TaxiBJ. Results show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines up to 7\% on BusDJ and 8\% on TaxiBJ dataset.
