Abstract

Road traffic injuries are one of the highest public health hazards and in order to bring down the mishaps, one should be well aware of the road safety rules. Most highway users ignore road safety rules probably because they believe it is perfectly okay to violate them, or they get a feeling of accomplishment from being able to violate them and not get caught. The helmet is the main safety equipment for motorcyclists, but many riders do not use it. In order to enhance the enforcement of obeying road safety rule of wearing a suitable helmet for every motorcycle user on the highway, an automated system that captures highway users’ state and report defaulters to appropriate authorities is important. Deep learning method known as transfer learning with Convolutional Neural Networks can be highly efficient in expediting detection of helmet on the highway.
