The problem Diksoochi solves

Diksoochi can be used by drivers to let themselves be notified of any obstacles on the road that he/she may overlook. Driving can be a tedious and hectic task, especially for beginners. There are numerous details that a driver must take into consideration before making a driving-based decision, such as "Alternate to another lane if an obstacle is in front". A system that makes, to some extent, the important decisions for the driver, will be a huge sigh of relief for tensed drivers.
Diksoochi not only eliminates personal risk due to ignorant driving but it also eliminates the risk an inexperienced driver may pose to other drivers on the road. Therefore, this is a system that does its best to ensure safety for everyone on the road, from other drivers to pedestrians to the driver who uses Diksoochi himself.

Challenges we ran into

Dataset availability was a huge challenge. Diksoochi is inclined towards Indian roads and while datasets were available for roads in other countries, we had to custom collect a majority of the dataset.
While there was similar work that did exist, they were not of much help, as they were tuned to suit roads with a completely different set of signs and rules.
