A-EYE on ROADS, an AI & ML solution to solve some of the basic but most important traffic problems in day to day life.

The problem TraffiKAI solves

The increasing number of vehicles in cities can cause high volume of traffic, and implies that traffic congestion has become more critical nowadays. According to a survey, Mumbai is ranked 5th and Bangalore is ranked 10th in the world for cities with worst traffic. The main idea is to keep the same existing infrastructure without any major reconstruction and make delta changes in the system using the power of AI & ML which can produce a bigger impact.

Another problem which arises beacause of traffic congestion is the fatalities caused due to delay of emergency vehicles such as ambulance & fire brigade. In daily life, we often see that emergency vehicles face difficulty in passing through traffic. Approximately 30% of the deaths are caused due to delayed ambulance and one in ten patients dies on the way to hospitals.

TraffiKAI aims at providing solutions to the above stated issues by implementing powerful machine learning algorithms for Dynamic Traffic Signaling which sets the value of time allocated to each signal in a junction dynamically by calculating the density of traffic in each lane and intelligently allocating the least time to the lane which has least density and most time for the lane with the most density. TraffiKAI also has a machine learning model to identify the presence of any emergency vehicle in a lane either by processing a video or by identifying audio and priortising the lane in which the emergency vehicle is present.

Challenges we ran into

Some of the challenges which we ran into while building TraffiKAI are:

  1. Lack of the required data to test the pre-trained model. This inturn lead to formation of the synthetic data which has all the features that resemble to real life situations.
  2. Integrating both the models for the system to work as a whole was a real challenge. Being limited by the computational power, we had to optimise the models in order to get the efficient results as laid out earlier.
  3. Designing an interactive graphical user interface to demonstrate the functionalities of the system and visualize the statistics through graphs.
