AI-Powered Road Traffic Analysis System
An intelligent solution to transform traffic scenes into actionable dashboards, aiming to reduce accidents and corruption.
About the Project
Facing the alarming increase in road accidents in Cameroon, this project uses AI to provide precise data to authorities. The goal is to move from 'gut-feeling' management to informed decision-making backed by precise measurement instruments at intersections and critical road sections.
Features & Impact
- 01Real-time detection and classification (cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks) via YOLO.
- 02Multi-object tracking to reconstruct trajectories and uniquely identify each vehicle.
- 03Precise speed measurement (km/h) through scene calibration and NumPy calculations.
- 04Automatic violation detection (speeding beyond 60 km/h).
- 05Structured report generation (CSV) to assist municipal or governmental decision-making.
- 06Potential for digital fine payment to eradicate road-side corruption.
Technical Architecture
Designed to run on standard hardware (Core i5), the system combines YOLO for fast detection, OpenCV for video stream processing, and NumPy for physical calculations. This approach demonstrates that local technological sovereignty is possible using open tools to address national road safety challenges.
