Abstract

The rate of road accidents is increasing day by day that causes death throughout the year. Overspeed of the vehicle is one of the main reasons for these accidents. With this view, speed detection of a vehicle is very important to control this severe problem. This paper describes a TensorFlow machine learning library API-based method to estimate the speed of a vehicle from video images to find either it crossed the speed limit or not. The effectiveness of this technique is confirmed through experimentation.
