Abstract

Around 1.3 million people worldwide die each year because of road traffic crashes. There are many reasons which cause accidents, and driving in the wrong direction is one of them. In our research, we developed an autonomous framework called WrongWay-LVDC that detects wrong-way driving vehicles from closed-circuit television (CCTV) videos. The proposed WrongWay-LVDC provides several helpful features such as lane detection, correct direction validation, detecting wrong-way driving vehicles, and image capturing features. In this work, we proposed three main contributions: first, the improved algorithm for road lane boundary detection on CCTV (called improved RLB-CCTV) using the image processing technique. Second is the Distance-Based Direction Detection (DBDD) algorithm that uses the deep learning method, where the system validates and detects wrong-driving vehicles. Lastly, the Inside Boundary Image (IBI) capturing feature algorithm captures the most precise shot of the wrong-way-of-driving vehicles. As a result, the framework can run continuously and output the reports for vehicles' driving behaviors in each area. The accuracy of our framework is 95.23%, as we tested with several CCTV videos. Moreover, the framework can be implemented on edge devices with real-time speed for functional implementation and detection in various areas.
