| Abstract: |
This paper presents a novel Multi-DL Fuzzy Approach aimed at performing image recognition in the development of a real-time traffic alert system, addressing the problem of traffic congestion and related incidents. Traditional monitoring by road operators predominantly relies on fixed location cameras, yielding limited and sometimes ambiguous information. This study proposes leveraging Twitter (now known as ‘X’) as a more comprehensive data source alongside employing fuzzy techniques with Deep Learning (DL) neural networks such as CNN, VGG16, and Xception to analyze and classify traffic images. The innovative integration of these technologies augments the precision in categorizing varying traffic conditions, namely fluid and dense traffic, accidents and fires. Thus, this proposal mitigates the ambiguities prevalent in traffic image interpretation, and reduces the dependency on static data sources. The proposed models showed improved results by combining information from the DL models, elevating accuracy from 84% in crisp classification to 90% utilizing fuzzy information. |
