Big Data and Deep Learning in Smart Cities: A Comprehensive Dataset for AI-Driven Traffic Accident Detection and Computer Vision Systems
It addresses the problem of enhancing public safety through better traffic accident detection in smart cities, though it is incremental as it focuses on dataset creation rather than a new method.
This paper introduces a comprehensive dataset for traffic accident detection in smart cities, designed to improve computer vision systems by integrating diverse data sources, weather conditions, and global regions to address challenges like variability in actions and environmental factors.
In the dynamic urban landscape, where the interplay of vehicles and pedestrians defines the rhythm of life, integrating advanced technology for safety and efficiency is increasingly crucial. This study delves into the application of cutting-edge technological methods in smart cities, focusing on enhancing public safety through improved traffic accident detection. Action recognition plays a pivotal role in interpreting visual data and tracking object motion such as human pose estimation in video sequences. The challenges of action recognition include variability in rapid actions, limited dataset, and environmental factors such as (Weather, Illumination, and Occlusions). In this paper, we present a novel comprehensive dataset for traffic accident detection. This datasets is specifically designed to bolster computer vision and action recognition systems in predicting and detecting road traffic accidents. We integrated datasets from wide variety of data sources, road networks, weather conditions, and regions across the globe. This approach is underpinned by empirical studies, aiming to contribute to the discourse on how technology can enhance the quality of life in densely populated areas. This research aims to bridge existing research gaps by introducing benchmark datasets that leverage state-of-the-art algorithms tailored for traffic accident detection in smart cities. These dataset is expected to advance academic research and also enhance real-time accident detection applications, contributing significantly to the evolution of smart urban environments. Our study marks a pivotal step towards safer, more efficient smart cities, harnessing the power of AI and machine learning to transform urban living.
