Description
Summary:In the field of traffic management and control systems, we are witnessing a symbiotic evolution, where intelligent infrastructure is progressively collaborating with smart vehicles to produce benefits for traffic monitoring and security, by rapidly identifying hazardous behaviours. This exponential growth is due to the rapid development of deep learning in recent years, as well as the improvements in computer vision models. These technologies allow for monitoring tasks without the need to install numerous sensors or stop the traffic, using the extensive camera network of surveillance cameras already present in worldwide roads. This study proposes a computer vision-based solution that allows for real-time processing of video streams through edge computing devices, eliminating the need for Internet connectivity or dedicated sensors. The proposed system employs deep learning algorithms and vision techniques that perform vehicle detection, classification, tracking, speed estimation, and vehicle geolocation.
