Abstract

Abstract : An intelligent transportation system (ITS) is an advanced application that supports multiple transport and traffic management modes. ITS services include calling for emergency rescue and monitoring traffic laws with the help of roadside units. It is observed that many people lose their lives in motorbike accidents mainly due to not wearing helmets. Automatic helmet violation detection of motorcyclists from real-time videos is a demanding application in ITS. It enables one to spot and penalize bikers without a helmet. So, there is a need to develop a system that automatically detects and captures motorbikers without a helmet in real time. This work proposes a system to detect helmet violations automatically from surveillance videos captured by roadside-mounted cameras. The proposed technique is based on faster region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) deep learning model that takes video as an input and performs helmet violation detection to take necessary actions against traffic rule violators. Experimental analysis shows that the proposed system gives an accuracy of 97.69% and supersedes its competitors.
