Abstract
In intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), integrating pedestrians and vehicles into traffic management models is essential for developing realistic and safe solutions. However, current systems often fail to simulate complex, real-world scenarios due to the absence of a comprehensive digital twin framework across diverse traffic environments and effective modeling of pedestrian-vehicle interactions. In this article, we propose a surveillance video-assisted federated digital twin (SV-FDT) framework to enhance ITSs by incorporating pedestrians and vehicles into the control loop. SV-FDT improves computational efficiency and communication performance by transmitting only semantic data and agent parameters, rather than raw video streams. The proposed framework adopts three-layer architecture and constructs detailed pedestrian-vehicle interaction models using multi-source traffic surveillance videos. The three-layer architecture includes: (i) an end layer that collects surveillance videos from multiple sources; (ii) an edge layer that performs self-supervised semantic segmentation to extract interactions, converts them into executable traffic codes, and generates local digital twin systems (LDTSs) for regional traffic modeling; and (iii) a cloud layer that integrates LDTSs into a real-time global digital twin model. Key design considerations, challenges, and practical implementation guidelines are discussed for SV-FDT, and a testbed evaluation is used to show that SV-FDT improves traffic flow, reduces mirroring delay, and enhances recognition accuracy and system efficiency compared to traditional terminal-server frameworks. Finally, we outline open challenges and potential directions for future research in digital twin-enabled ITS.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
