Collision Warning System is a driver-assistance project built using OpenCV and YOLOv8. It works like a third eye for drivers by detecting vehicles in real time, identifying their direction, and alerting beforehand. This increases reaction time and helps reduce the risk of accidents.

🚗 Collision-Warning-System ( Dashcam-Based AI ALert)

This is a AI projects that aims to warn drivers about potential collisions using dashcam video analysis.

Objective:

To build a real-time collision alert system that analyzes dashcam footage and gives warnings like:

  • ⚠️"Car CLose"
  • ⚠️"Truck Close"
  • ⚠️"Bus Close"
  • ⚠️"Warning: Pedestrain/Bicycle"

These alerts help drivers stay cautious in complex traffic conditions.


Designed For:

  • Dashcam mounted on car windshieled
  • Works even when car bonnet is partially visible
  • Tested in rainy weather conditions to improve robustness

Tech Stack:

  • Python
  • OpenCV
  • YOLOv5(pretrained model) for object detection
  • Real-time frame wise video analysis

Current Features:

  • Detect vehicles and humans from dashcam video
  • Warns based on object type and proximity
  • Displays alerts dynamically on the video frame
  • Capable of running in moderate weather interference (e.g rain)
  • Supports videos with bonnet partially in frame

Work in Progess:

  • Improving false-positive filtering using confidence level threshold and bounding box logic
  • Adding distance estimation for more accurate warnings
  • Planning to integrate audio alerts
  • UI/UX polish and documentation underway

Note:

this project is being improved regularly by experiementing with differentdetection strategiesand edge cases.
