Project background.

Traffic management is crucial for preserving road capacity, enhancing safety, and reducing congestion in urban areas like Jakarta, Indonesia. This project aims to leverage advanced technologies and data-driven solutions to address the challenges associated with traffic management in the city.

The problem.

Jakarta faces several traffic-related issues, including congestion, accidents, and road defects. These problems lead to inefficiencies, safety hazards, and increased travel times for residents. The primary problems to tackle are:
1. Vehicle speed and category classification to enforce speed limits.
2. Traffic density classification for efficient traffic redirection.
3. Pothole detection for road maintenance and safety.

Project goals.

- Develop machine learning models for vehicle category classification and detection. - Create a model for traffic density classification. - Implement a pothole object detection system. - Develop a user-friendly web application for real-time traffic management. - Investigate the possibility of future developments like road lane instance segmentation, plate number recognition, and vehicle tracking.
