SAFEPARK: Vehicle Detection and Traffic Violation Parking Management System

Abstract

Abstract: The escalating motorcycle accident rates highlight the pressing need for improved safety measures. Helmets, a crucial safety gear, are often neglected, contributing significantly to fatalities. This paper addresses the pervasive issue of noncompliance with motorcycle safety rules, focusing on helmet usage and triple riding. Existing systems for monitoring lack precision, prompting our proposed Bike Traffic Violation System. Leveraging Haar Cascade and YOLOv3 models, it identifies motorcycles, detects riders without helmets, instances of triple riding, and even empty parking spots with unprecedented accuracy. The Machine Learning component employs a Support Vector Classification model, bolstered by 4-fold cross-validation, ensuring robustness. This innovative system provides real-time insights into traffic violations, enabling prompt interventions by law enforcement agencies. It overcomes manual identification shortcomings, offering a comprehensive solution for enforcement and awareness campaigns. In summary, our Bike Traffic Violation System not only advances automated traffic rule monitoring but introduces a novel methodology for precise detection, significantly contributing to enhanced road safety and accident prevention.
