Improving road safety through accident detection and prediction in dashcam videos

Abstract

One of the major problems faced with advanced driver assistance systems is to correctly estimate Driver's situation awareness. We detect and track other vehicles and use that to predict if an accident will occur. We propose a system to track the direction of the gaze of the driver and associate it with these predictions. The gaze direction and the predictions will then be used to estimate driver-risk awareness and alert the driver if necessary.
