Wireless Speed Control of Vehicles with Detection
of Person & Zebra Crossing
Ann Zenna Sajan, G R Gnana King
Abstract: Pedestrians crossing zebra lines are one of the
major concerns for road accidents. Nowadays, the number of
road accidents increases due to careless driving and pedestrian
motions at crosswalks. It is necessary to detect both person and
zebra crossings properly and control vehicle speed accordingly.
Here in this paper, a suitable solution that improves both
detections can be introducing. Here used the TensorFlow Single
Shot Detection (SSD) model is the best and most convenient
trained model for Zebra line and person detection. A database is
taking for the analysis. The input image could process as a
crosswalk detection, which has more used for zebra crossing
identification via the SSD model. Suppose detected the person
and zebra crossings were at the same time. In that case, it will
perform commands such as run, slow down, stop, horn, etc., with
the help of wireless serial communication Universal
Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter. A Bluetooth command
signal matches UART, which provides the vehicle with the
necessary control inputs to execute the prescribed topology
properly. Simultaneous detection of pedestrians at zebra
crossings is a critical factor. It results most efficiently and to
identify the person detection.
Keywords: Crosswalk, Pedestrian, TensorFlow, Single Shot
Detection (SSD), Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter.
I. INTRODUCTION
In the present scenario, road accidents have become one
of the most challenging problems. It is essential to regulate
vehicle speed and fair usage of horn sound to save a life on
the roads. For this purpose, the highway department has
marked the Zebra line, a crucial traffic sign that provides a
safe way for pedestrians at intersections. Pedestrians
crossing the Zebra lines are one of the significant concerns
related to road accidents.
According to the WHO slogan, "Road Safety is no
accident" means zero chances for all reasons or factors of
accidents. It is possible based on some principles, such as
priority, human errors, and public concern. Always taken
Safety consideration important. Several factors cause
accidents, mainly termed as "DUVERT." DUVERT stands
for driver-related, user-related, vehicle-related,
environmental-related, road-related, and traffic-related.

Among these user-related issues are mainly concentrated
here to do this. Can detect Pedestrians or road users at
crosswalks or zebra crossings in many ways.
Among Indian states, Kerala had recorded a more severe
road accident rate for the past six decades. Almost 1739
road accidents registered in Kerala, which nearly doubled to
3470 in1960. Again in 1975 it further doubled to 6938. The
state has recorded an all-time high rate of 41579 accidents in
the year 2005. At this stage, State Government started
several initiative programs in the areas of road development,
black spot improvement, traffic education, and road safety
awareness. The government was deeply concerned about the
increasing number of deaths and injuries to pedestrians,
senior citizens, and persons with disabilities. Various
researchers developed in the areas of both person and zebra
crossing detections. In past years, different algorithms and
methods have proposed improving the road safety system by
efficiently detecting pedestrians at zebra crossings and
performed and completed a detailed survey of recent
research done in this area introduced in this paper a
thorough analysis. So, it is necessary to switch over to the
more efficient and convenient way of person detection to
ensure road safety and save lives.
Speeding may be a rising problem in both countryside
and city areas. The amount of speed-linked accidents
leftovers high. Drivers have to constantly guess their speed
and driving to determine a safe rate for the present road
conditions, other vehicles, pedestrians, and any of thousand
other things that will happen at any moment. Choosing the
most straightforward speed has become more challenging as
cars became quieter and smoother, and cruising speeds have
increased. It has thrown driving safety into the limelight.
Many promoted kinds of machinery are advancing to
judge the traveling time using worldwide Positioning
System, radiofrequency, etc. People commonly employ
these sorts of devices to track their destinations. There's a
crucial need for the module in highways to provide the
number of vehicles and various high-speed adapting
vehicles. The most commonly adaptable methodology for
zebra line detection is thresholding. Thresholding is the
simplest method of segmenting the image. This method has
difficulties predicting abrupt changes of pedestrian motions
and challenging to implement in mostly differing
geographical areas.
The proposed method introduced the desired solution to
control vehicle speed whenever pedestrians crossed the
Zebra line. For all these making realizable, the TensorFlow
machine learning algorithm present in the proposed
topology.
