🚦 Real-Time Traffic Monitoring & Speed Estimation System

---

📌 Project Description

The Real-Time Traffic Monitoring & Speed Estimation System is an AI-powered intelligent traffic analysis solution developed using Computer Vision and Deep Learning technologies.

This project detects and tracks moving vehicles from highway traffic videos, classifies vehicle types, estimates their speed in real time, and stores the traffic data automatically for future analysis.

The system is designed for:

• 🚗 Smart Traffic Monitoring
• 🚓 Over-Speed Vehicle Detection
• 🛣️ Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
• 🎓 Academic & Final Year Projects
• 🏭 Research and Industrial Demonstrations

The project uses the powerful YOLOv8 Object Detection Model combined with OpenCV for real-time processing and tracking.

✨ Features

🚘 Vehicle Detection & Classification

• Detects multiple vehicles in real time

• Identifies:

  • Car
  • Bus
  • Truck
  • Motorcycle (if added in model)

---

🧠 AI-Based Object Tracking

• Assigns unique IDs to every detected vehicle
• Prevents duplicate counting
• Maintains smooth tracking between frames

---

⚡ Real-Time Speed Estimation

• Calculates vehicle speed using:

  • Dual-Line Crossing Technique
  • Frame Time Difference

• Displays speed instantly on screen

---

🚨 Overspeed Detection

• Detects vehicles exceeding speed limit

• Highlights overspeed vehicles using:

  • 🔴 Red Bounding Boxes
  • Speed Warning Labels

---

📊 Traffic Data Logging

Automatically stores:

• Vehicle ID
• Vehicle Type
• Speed
• Date & Time

Saved into:

traffic_data_final.csv

---

🎥 Video Processing

Supports:

• Highway traffic videos
• CCTV footage
• Traffic surveillance recordings
