Phase-1 Traffic AI

The project aims to enhance road safety by utilizing AI to predict traffic abundance and identify potential accident risks in real time. It focuses on developing a proactive alert system and an interactive dashboard to visualize traffic data, while relying on various public data sources and APIs. The initial implementation will target urban metropolitan areas and will involve data collection, cleaning, analysis, and model building using advanced machine learning techniques.

Project title: Enhance Road Safety with AI-driven Traffic abundant analysis and prediction

PHASE-1

1. Problem Statement
Road accidents claim millions of lives each year, often due to unpredictable traffic congestion and
unsafe driving conditions. Current traffic monitoring systems are reactive rather than predictive.
This project aims to revolutionize road safety by using AI to proactively analyze traffic abundance
patterns and predict potential risks before they escalate. By forecasting congestion, identifying
accident-prone zones, and suggesting dynamic interventions, we aim to significantly reduce road
hazards.

2. Objectives of the Project


● To develop an AI model capable of predicting traffic abundance, congestion levels, and accident
probabilities in real time.
● To identify critical factors that contribute to traffic bottlenecks and accidents.
● To design a proactive alert and recommendation system for authorities and drivers.
● To visualize real-time traffic flow and prediction outputs through an interactive dashboard.

3. Scope of the Project


Features to Analyze:

● Live traffic data (vehicle count, speed, density)


● Environmental factors (weather, time of day, road conditions)
● Historical accident records and congestion patterns

Constraints and Limitations:

● Dependence on data availability from traffic cameras, sensors, and open datasets.
● Initial focus on urban metropolitan areas only.
● Real-time prediction system prototype limited to a demo platform (not full-scale deployment).
