Traffic Violation Detection System

A deep learning-based system for detecting traffic rule violations using the Berkeley Deep Drive (BDD100K) dataset, specifically the 10K subset. This project aims to enhance Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems by automatically detecting and reporting traffic violations.

Overview

This project leverages the BDD100K dataset to train models that can detect various traffic violations such as:

• Running red lights
• Stop sign violations
• Illegal lane changes
• Speeding (contextual detection)
• Failure to yield

The trained models are designed to integrate with V2X systems, enabling real-time violation detection and reporting.
