Traffic Rules Violation Detection using YOLO and HAAR Cascade

Traffic rules are often neglected by people and are taken for granted which results in road accidents and can sometimes end up taking the lives of people or can make them handicapped. Therefore, traffic rules have been introduced for the efficient movement of vehicles, to prevent accidents, and for pedestrian safety. They also help in reducing traffic congestion and decrease the duration of traveling, making transport efficient. With the increase in the number of vehicles moving on roads, it is important to follow the traffic rules to avoid unwanted consequences. But most people tend to violate traffic rules. To enforce the traffic rules at all times, there should be an efficient monitoring system. Thus, in order to identify traffic rule violations accurately, we put forward a project that identifies these violations in real time. In this system, we deal with detecting multiple traffic violations like triple riding, not wearing a helmet, over-speeding, and using a phone while driving with the help of You Only Look Once (YOLOv5) and Haar Cascade. This would be helpful for the traffic police to monitor roads more precisely and take the necessary action against the drivers who violate the traffic rules effectively.
