Automating Near-Miss Crash Detection Using Existing Traffic Cameras
This project proposes to develop a prototype system that demonstrates the potential of using existing closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras to detect and monitor traffic conflicts. The benefits of such system would be potentially deploy it statewide as a proactive safety detection sensor and also to report safety performance. The project is proposed for freeway system because of ease of availability of video from the existing traffic cameras. This approach can be applied to arterial systems if such data was made available.
