JEDDAH — King Abdulaziz University has completed an innovative research project that uses AI to monitor violations of emergency lanes on highways in real time. The system uses the ‘Raspberry Pi’ device, which employs advanced computer vision techniques.
The project utilizes the 'YOLO' algorithm to detect vehicles encroaching on designated emergency lanes, with the model trained on a customized dataset of images. It is a low-cost, highly efficient solution ideal for integration into smart city infrastructure, traffic management agencies, and government authorities.
By supporting unobstructed emergency lanes, the project aims to improve response times during emergencies and ultimately save lives.
