Video Incident Detection Solution
The Video Incident Detection Solution (VIDS) is an artificial intelligence-driven system that leverages computer vision, deep learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to autonomously identify and address traffic incidents in real-time. This system significantly enhances road safety, optimizes traffic management, and decreases emergency response times by detecting accidents, stationary vehicles, congestion, and various other irregularities.
Key Components
1. AI-Powered Video Analytics:
- Employs deep learning and object detection techniques to recognize traffic incidents.
- Identifies incidents, stationary vehicles, vehicles traveling in the wrong direction, obstacles on the roadway, and pedestrian crosswalks.
- Capable of identifying vehicle categories (automobiles, lorries, motorcycles) and assessing their behavior.
2. Real-time Traffic Monitoring & Alerts
- Monitors CCTV, dashcam, or drone footage for real-time analysis.
- AI continuously scans for irregular movements, crashes, or unexpected events.
- Instant alerts are sent to traffic management centers and emergency responders.
3. Integration with Smart Traffic Systems
- Works with Variable Message Signs (VMS) to provide drivers with real-time warnings.
- Can adjust traffic signals dynamically to ease congestion caused by incidents.
- Integrates with automated tolling and enforcement systems.
4. Cloud-Based Incident Reporting & Data Analytics
- Uses edge computing for real-time processing, reducing latency
- Stores incident data in the cloud for forensic analysis and traffic planning.
- Generates reports with incident trends, high-risk locations, and response efficiency.
5. Cloud-Based Incident Reporting & Data Analytics
- Notifies emergency services (ambulance, police, towing) automatically.
- Reduces response time by providing real-time location tracking.
- Can be integrated with smart city infrastructure for rapid intervention.
How It Works?
- Continuous Video Surveillance Cameras - AI processes live feeds from cameras.
- Incident Detection - Identifies traffic violations, accidents, or abnormal activities.
- Automated Alerts & Notifications - Sends instant alerts to authorities and emergency teams.
- Traffic Control Adjustments - Updates digital signboards, traffic lights, and route suggestions.
- Incident Reporting & Analysis - Stores video evidence and generates actionable insights.
