This paper proposes a high-fidelity simulation framework that can estimate the potential safety benefits of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) pedestrian safety strategies. This simulator can support cooperative perception algorithms in the loop by simulating the environmental conditions, traffic conditions, and pedestrian characteristics at the same time. Besides, the benefit estimation model applied in our framework can systematically quantify both the risk conflict (non-crash condition) and the severity of the pedestrian's injuries (crash condition). An experiment was conducted in this paper that built a digital twin of a crowded urban intersection in China. The result shows that our framework is efficient for safety benefit estimation of V2I pedestrian safety strategies.
