Automating Near Miss Crash Detection Using Existing Traffic Cameras

The objective of this project is to develop a prototype system that demonstrates the potential of using existing closed circuit TV (CCTV) cameras to detect and monitor traffic conflicts. The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) has deployed more than 365 cameras that are currently used for manual verification of events and road-conditions on the freeway system. These cameras are connected and can be accessed over the network.

Data science is an important interdisciplinary field that significantly affects many aspects of the modern world, including government, industry, academia and the general public. Transdisciplinary Research in Principles of Data Science – or TRIPODS – brings together computer science, statistics, mathematics and related communities to develop theoretical foundations of data science through integrated research and training activities focused on core algorithmic, mathematical and statistical principles.
