Toward intelligent intersections: Artificial intelligence-enhanced road accident detection for mixed-traffic environments
Abstract: Road accidents remain a major global concern, particularly at urban intersections where cars, motorcycles, and pedestrians interact in unpredictable and often chaotic ways. Traditional accident detection systems struggle in these mixed-traffic environments, especially in areas with minimal lane discipline and diverse road user behavior. To address this challenge, we … [Read more...] about Toward intelligent intersections: Artificial intelligence-enhanced road accident detection for mixed-traffic environments
