Today, India stands the second largest road network in the entire world. India"s road conditions have not kept up with the increase in number of vehicles due to urbanization. Growing size of cities and increasing population mobility have determined a rapid increase in the number of vehicles on the roads, which has resulted in many challenges for road traffic management authorities. With the increasing traffic density on the roads, there has been rapid increase in road accidents. It becomes difficult for the traffic police to manage all of this manually because people know the presence of the police personal and know a turn around way and escape them. Road accidents, traffic violations, safety on the roads, threats caused therein are some of the major concerns. Due to various security concerns, all the main cities across the world already installed a significant number of surveillance cameras for traffic monitoring purpose. The use of these already existing surveillance cameras will be a viable solution for accident detection, but these systems mostly rely on human observation. For human observers, it is almost impossible to monitor and recognize unusual events without missing in such a large number of camera scenes in real time. Sometimes these cameras are not possible to be located on remote places. There are hi tech cameras to record the violation events which involves high cost. Since India is the second largest city for road networks installing high technical gadgets on these systems will be very costly the same time will not be practicall to cover all the roads.
Thus, there exists a need for a solutions in surveillance system and a set reliable process involving the polulation along .
