Abstract

Motorists may be trained to drive but may forget (if not ignore) to follow road rules. As a consequence, this leads to road accidents. Road accidents contribute a great percentage to the world total fatalities. These accidents are caused mostly by reckless driving through over speeding, wrong overtaking, and wrong parking. On Ugandan roads, there are specific places marked as black-spots due to the number of accidents that have happened in such places and likely to happen in future if care is not taken. An enhanced traffic monitoring system is key to enforcing traffic rules and hence preventing road accidents. In this paper, we describe the architecture and the Implementation of Blackspot Traffic Monitoring system (BSTMS). The BSTMS relies on tensorflow machine learning library to analyze video streams of moving cars. The BSTMS consists of IP cameras configured to capture video streams from the road, and the BSTMS server which analyses each stream for traffic offenses, records a photo evidence of the offense and communicates with the database where users can access processed data. This system is developed at a Ugandan perspective. Keywords: Traffic Monitoring System, enforcing traffic rules
