Artificial Intelligence driven Traffic Management and Accident Detection System using CCTV Cameras

Abstract— A traffic management system is the cornerstone of a Smart City. In the current problems of the world, urban mobility and traffic accidents are some of the major problems, especially in metropolitan cities. This paper proposes a project that is divided into two parts: dynamic traffic control system and accident detection system. The main focus of dynamic traffic control system is to control the traffic dynamically based on traffic density. While, the accident detection system will get the live CCTV footage from various CCTV cameras that are present on the road and this footage will be processed on a local server by an AI model and will detect the accident. The CCTV footage will be telecasted on a web-page that is accessed by authorized personnel only. Whenever any accident is detected, footage from that particular CCTV camera will be highlighted. It is worth mentioning that both these systems work independently. The proposed model will work in regions that have high internet speed and with a good network of CCTV cameras.
