Traffic safety analysis at signalized intersections is essential for reducing vehicle and pedestrian collisions, yet traditional crash-based studies are limited by data sparsity and reporting latency. This paper presents a multi-camera computer vision framework for real-time safety assessment through Post-Encroachment Time (PET) computation, demonstrated at the intersection of H Street and Broadway in Chula Vista, California. Four synchronized cameras provide continuous visual coverage, with frames processed on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier edge devices using YOLOv11 segmentation for vehicle detection. Detected vehicle polygons are transformed into a unified bird's-eye map via homography, enabling alignment across overlapping camera views. A pixel-level PET algorithm tracks temporal occupancy at each spatial location by measuring the time between successive vehicle passages, enabling fine-grained hazard visualization through dynamic heatmaps with 3.3 sq-cm spatial resolution. Timestamped vehicle trajectories and PET data are stored in an SQL database for longitudinal analysis. Results across multiple time intervals demonstrate the framework's ability to identify high-risk regions with sub-second temporal sensitivity and real-time edge throughput, generating 800 x 800 logarithmic heatmaps at an average of 2.68 FPS. This paper validates decentralized vision-based PET analysis for intelligent transportation systems and presents a scalable methodology for high-resolution, real-time intersection safety evaluation.
