## Abstract

We introduce CROWD (City Road Observations With Dashcams), a manually curated dataset of ordinary, minute scale, temporally contiguous, unedited, front facing urban dashcam segments screened and segmented from publicly available YouTube videos. CROWD is designed to support cross-domain robustness and interaction analysis by prioritising routine driving and explicitly excluding crashes, crash aftermath, and other edited or incident-focused content. The release contains 51,753 segment records spanning 20,275.56 hours (42,032 videos), covering 7,103 named inhabited places in 238 countries and territories across all six inhabited continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania), with segment level manual labels for time of day (day or night) and vehicle type. To lower the barrier for benchmarking, we provide per-segment CSV files of machine-generated detections for all 80 MS-COCO classes produced with YOLOv11x, together with segment-local multi-object tracks (BoT-SORT); e.g. person, bicycle, motorcycle, car, bus, truck, traffic light, stop sign, etc. CROWD is distributed as video identifiers with segment boundaries and derived annotations, enabling reproducible research without redistributing the underlying videos.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
