Wrong Way Vehicle Detection in Single and Double Lane

Abstract

Wrong-way driving is one of the primary causes of traffic jams and accidents globally. It is possible to identify vehicles going the wrong direction, which lessens accidents and traffic congestion. Surveillance footage has become an important source of data due to the accessibility of less priced cameras and the expanding use of real-time traffic management systems. In this paper, we propose a technique for automatically identifying automobiles moving against traffic. Our system uses the You Only Look Once (CNN) algorithm to recognize and track vehicles from video inputs and the centroid tracking method to determine each vehicle's orientation inside a given region of interest (ROI) in order to identify vehicles traveling in the wrong direction. It functions in three steps. The Deep sort tracking method is particularly good in detecting and tracking objects, and the centroid tracking technique can effectively monitor the direction of travel. Experiments with a variety of traffic films show that the suggested method can detect and identify wrong-way moving vehicles in a variety of lighting and weather scenarios. The interface of the system is quite simple and easy to use.
