Real-Time Traffic Rules Infringing Determination Over the Video Stream: Wrong Way and Clearway Violation Detection

Video processing techniques are used in research areas about traffic for many purposes such as measuring traffic density, crash detection, vehicle classification and counting. To control the traffic flow and create a safer environment, vehicle detection, tracking, security lane and wrong way violation detection is achieved with the developed system. As known, security lane violation causes units from security, health or fire departments to not be able to use those lanes when needed. Also, wrong way violation is one of the main causes of car crashes. These types of violations directly or indirectly cause serious numbers of loss of life and property. In order to prevent such problems, it is very important to detect the infringers early. In this paper, the wrong way and clearway violation detection over the video stream in real-time is achieved.
