Drone (UAV) for Monitoring Traffic Light Violation

Abstract

Numerous Nigerian cities have begun to experience expansion and modern development,
this has resulted to rapid increase in population density which gives rise to the urgent requirement for smart solutions to cope with the demands applied to the infrastructure of cities especially in the area of traffic regulation and safety of road users. This study proposes an intelligent, autonomous Unmanned Ariel Vehicle (UAV) traffic monitoring and policing system to combat traffic violations. In this paper, the shortcomings of traffic policing and emergency response handling systems was investigate. An intelligent, autonomous UAV-enabled solution was proposed and
developed. Several scenarios of traffic monitoring and policing system were considered in the simulation: traffic light violations and accident detection, mobile speeding traps and automated notification, congestion detection and traffic rerouting, flagged stolen vehicles, pending arrest warrants and vehicle tracking using UAVs, and autonomous emergency response handling systems. The results of the simulated system were presented and discussed.
