Two-Wheeler Traffic Violations Detection and Automated Penalty Issuance System

Abstract

Road safety is one of the highest priorities, as road accidents are among the major causes of deaths in India. Road Accidents are primarily caused due to violators of road safety regulations such as not wearing a helmet, triple riding etc. Though there are many smart systems to monitor these violations, yet they are prone to lot of errors. Additionally, the tickets are issued manually and this manual process mostly leads to delay and errors. In order to overcome these problems, we are suggesting an integrated system that automates the violation detection, makes tracking of offenders easier, and facilitates timely issuance and collection of fines. Such a system would increase enforcement efficiency, improve road safety, and minimize the frequency of accidents due to violation of traffic rules. The suggested system can identify whether the rider is wearing a helmet or not, identifies the pillion riders (not more than 2 persons including the rider), and even if they exceed the specified speed limit, under any violation of the above-stated rules the system can automatically issue tickets on the respective vehicles using its registration number (i.e., License plate). Though the ticket is issued, the majority of them won't pay the challan on time, therefore we introduce the concept of penalty points for each vehicle. If the penalty points cross a certain threshold, then we restrict the vehicle owner from further renewal of the vehicle insurance and even he/she will not be able to claim the insurance amount if needed.
