Event detection system in real time streaming data for traffic control in smart cities

Project Domain / Category

Desktop application

Abstract / Introduction
With the increase number of vehicles on a highway, it becomes very difficult to control and
supervise the traffic on a highway in smart cities. About 85% of lives lost and 90% of disabilities are
due to traffic accidents. The majority are due to violation of traffic rules, as it is difficult to monitor
and enforce traffic rules on such high traffic in real time. These problems can be addressed by
developing an application for better supervision and enforcement of traffic rules.

The system detects the presence of bike rider’s helmet from real time streaming data via CCTV
camera, which will help out the law enforcement agencies to detect bike riders without wearing
helmet. It will enable the traffic police to monitor and take necessary steps in case of violation.

Functional Requirements:
The functional requirements for the project are listed below: -
1. Capturing of real time steaming videos. You can use any video camera (CCTV or even laptop
built in camera).
2. Storing videos from real time streams inside the database.
3. Pre-processing of stored videos.
4. Bike rider’s detection from video(s).
 5. Detection of biker riders without helmet.

Tools:
Any version of Microsoft Visual Studio with C#.NET and Microsoft SQL SERVER for database. Any 3 rd
Party API / library compatible with .net can be used.

Note: Virtual University of Pakistan will not provide any kind of hardware for this project; student
has to arrange the required hardware by himself/herself.
