It’s possible that shortly, solutions backed by artificial intelligence (AI) may make it safer to drive on India’s roadways.
On Tuesday, the Indian government said that an AI-powered system might help prevent road accidents, which killed more than a hundred thousand people in the country in 2020. The Indian government has pledged to utilize an AI method using a first-of-its-kind collection of 10,000 photos to stop this from happening.
The dataset was reported to be finely annotated with 34 classifications gleaned from 182 driving sequences on Indian highways captured by a front-facing camera in a car while it was driven about Hyderabad, Bangalore, and their environs.
The Indian Ministry of Science and Technology has said that this novel strategy utilizes the predictive capability of AI to detect dangers on the road and a collision alarm system to relay these alerts to drivers promptly, resulting in several improvements to road safety.
As the rest of the globe transitions to autonomous cars, India may soon acquire automobiles powered by artificial intelligence as well (AI). Researchers from the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), in Hyderabad, have begun a project in Nagpur called Intelligent Solutions for Road Safety through Technology and Engineering (iRASTE), to employ artificial intelligence to make driving safer.
This artificial intelligence system will warn drivers about the dangers on the road by recognizing probable situations that might lead to accidents. The Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) will be used by the system to identify “grey areas” on the roadway by continually monitoring the many dynamic dangers present across the road network.
The use of artificial intelligence is also helping to make our roadways safer. Waymo, which is an autonomous car branch of Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, is testing self-driving cars in the United Kingdom and California.
These cars are fitted with sensors that enable them to recognize items such as pedestrians or bicycles. These automobiles are so advanced that they can recognize the colour of a traffic signal. The sensors are connected to sophisticated computers, which enable the vehicles to “see” everything that is going on around them, including adverse weather conditions such as fog and rain, drive at any time of day or night, and even travel off-road. Tesla’s Autopilot function, which monitors things like road lines, other vehicles, and the automobiles surrounding it to help drivers stay aware and make safer judgments, also uses AI.
