The state of Iowa averages about "33 inches of snow every year, keeping roads open and safe is an important challenge. Car accidents tend to spike during the winter months each year in Iowa, as do costly delays."
"Iowa State’s technology helps analyze the visual data gathered from stationary cameras and cameras mounted on snow plows. They also capture traffic information using radar detectors. Machine learning transforms that data into conclusions about road conditions, like identifying congestion and getting first responders to the scenes of accidents faster... Officials in Iowa say machine learning could also be used to predict crash risks and travel speeds, and better understand drivers’ reactions or failures behind the wheel."
Uses Tensorflow, image classification, potentially some predictive capabilities.
Incoming data from a variety of sources, including traffic cameras.
