- Abstract
Here’s a clearer and more concise version of the abstract: This study presents a robust helmet detection system using computer vision techniques and the YOLOv5 model. Using Attributed to Table (VTT), we aim to identify motorcycle riders who violate safety regulations by not wearing helmets, thereby endangering their lives. With the increasing prevalence of two-wheeled vehicles, automatic helmet detection can help reduce the rising number of fatal and severe road accidents. We trained the model on a custom dataset derived from accident analysis, implementing various data preprocessing and augmentation techniques to enhance prediction accuracy and adaptability across different riding conditions. YOLOv5 was chosen for its real-time detection capabilities in both images and videos. The model’s performance was evaluated using metrics, including accuracy, recall, and F1-score. This research demonstrates how such a system could be integrated into existing traffic monitoring infrastructure to enable automated enforcement of safety regulations.
