Use cases.
Improving traffic flow by optimizing traffic light patterns and reducing congestion:
The system can analyze traffic patterns and adjust traffic light patterns to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow in real-time.
Enhancing road safety by providing drivers with real-time updates on the proximity of other vehicles in their lane:
By analyzing the position and movement of other vehicles in a driver's lane, the system can provide real-time updates on their proximity, reducing the risk of accidents.
Planning road networks by analyzing traffic patterns and providing insights into where improvements are needed:
By analyzing traffic patterns and identifying areas where congestion is high, transportation agencies can make better decisions about where to invest in road improvements.
Supporting self-driving cars by providing accurate information on lane position and the movement of other vehicles on the road:
Self-driving cars rely on accurate information about the position and movement of other vehicles on the road. By providing this information, Vehicle Lane Estimation can support the development and deployment of self-driving cars.
Reducing the workload of traffic control personnel by automating the process of monitoring and managing traffic:
By automating the process of monitoring and managing traffic, the workload of traffic control personnel can be reduced, freeing them up to focus on other tasks.
Key features.
Lane Detection and Classification:
The ability to identify and categorize different types of vehicles in a lane, including cars, trucks, and bicycles.
Lane Marking Detection and Recognition:
The ability to identify and analyze different types of lane markings, such as solid and dotted lines.
Moving Object Detection:
The ability to detect and track moving objects, such as pedestrians or other vehicles, and estimate their proximity to the driver's car.
Lane Departure Warning:
The ability to provide an audible and visual warning to the driver if their car is about to leave the lane.
Pavement Condition Estimation:
The ability to estimate the condition of the road surface and identify potential hazards such as potholes or debris.
