Quantitatively Evaluate Work Zone Driver Behavior Using 2D Imaging, 3-D Lidar & Artificial Intelligence in Support of Congestion Mitigation Model Calibration & Validation
This project addressed the following: 1) a lack of a system to process raw traffic footage obtained from work zones to extract traffic and driver behavior information, especially systems that leverage … [Read more...] about Quantitatively Evaluate Work Zone Driver Behavior Using 2D Imaging, 3-D Lidar & Artificial Intelligence in Support of Congestion Mitigation Model Calibration & Validation
Safety Helmet Detection at Construction Sites Using YOLOv5 and YOLOR
Wearing a helmet is mandatory for workers at construction sites. It is very important for the safety of workers during work. In many scenarios, detecting workers not wearing helmets can prevent … [Read more...] about Safety Helmet Detection at Construction Sites Using YOLOv5 and YOLOR
Characterization, Detection, and Segmentation of Work-Zone Scenes From Naturalistic Driving Data
This paper elucidates the automatic detection and analysis of work zones (construction zones) in naturalistic roadway images. An underlying motivation is to identify locations that may pose a … [Read more...] about Characterization, Detection, and Segmentation of Work-Zone Scenes From Naturalistic Driving Data
