Traffic Flow Classification Using Traffic Cameras

Traffic flow classification is an integrated task of traffic management and network mobility. In this work, a feature collection system is developed to collect the moving and appearance-based features of traffic images, and their performance are evaluated by different machine learning techniques including Deep Neural Networks (DNN), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The experimental results for a challenging highway video with three traffic flow classes of light, medium and heavy indicates the highest performance of CNN with \(90\%\) accuracy.
