Stopped Vehicle Detection Examples

Enhancing Road Safety with Advanced Stopped Vehicle Detection

Welcome to our comprehensive gallery showcasing the critical technology behind Stopped Vehicle Detection (SVD). The accurate detection of a stopped vehicle is paramount, whether it’s a minor breakdown or a major road hazard.

Our visuals provide an in-depth look at how various challenges—from low visibility and distance to complex environmental occlusions (like a road sign or heavy traffic)—affect the reliability of modern detection methods.

Why Accurate Vehicle Detection Matters

• Hazard Mitigation: Reliable identification of a stopped vehicle helps reduce the risk of secondary collisions and traffic bottlenecks.
• Precision in Action: We highlight the ability to confirm a vehicle is truly stopped, minimizing false alarms (we aim for a maximum of 2 per hour per camera) and ensuring operator focus remains on verified incidents.
• Diverse Scenarios: Explore how detection is maintained even when a vehicle is partially obscured, severely distant, or blends into the background, including the challenging detection of large trucks.

The gallery serves as a powerful resource demonstrating the precision needed for modern traffic monitoring. Trust in systems that deliver reliable detection when it matters most, ensuring smoother and safer travel for everyone.

Explore the future of traffic safety through precise stopped vehicle detection.

Small dark car stopped in shadow far from the traffic camera, detected and shown enlarged

A difficult detection: the stopped car is small, dark and stands in shadow far from the camera, so it is easy to overlook. The enlarged detail shows the vehicle detected by the AI.

Stopped van almost completely hidden behind a direction sign, detected on a traffic camera

A van has stopped right behind a large direction sign, so only a small part of it is visible to the camera. The software still recognises the stopped vehicle and alerts the operator. The enlarged detail shows what was detected.

Van stopped at the edge of a slip road, with overhead cables crossing the camera view

A van has stopped at the edge of a slip road. Overhead cables run across the camera view right in front of the vehicle, yet the software recognises the stopped van and alerts the operator.

Stopped van on the edge of the expressway next to a noise barrier

A van has stopped at the edge of the carriageway next to a noise barrier. Vehicles stopped next to live lanes create a serious risk of rear-end collisions.

Stopped vehicle highlighted for the operator within a long traffic queue on an expressway

A stopped vehicle detected within a long traffic queue. During traffic jams detection can be paused for a set time so operators are not flooded with notifications.

Large truck stopped on the hard shoulder of an expressway next to a noise barrier

Heavy goods vehicles stopped on the hard shoulder narrow the road and are a serious hazard for passing traffic. The software detects stopped trucks as well as cars and vans.

Very distant stopped vehicle only a few pixels in size, detected and shown enlarged

To the naked eye this stopped vehicle is almost invisible: it is very far from the camera and blends with the background. The enlarged detail shows the vehicle detected by the AI.

Car stopped under an overhead sign gantry on an expressway, detected in daylight

A car has stopped under an overhead sign gantry. In daylight it blends with the road markings and the gantry structure, so an operator watching many camera views could easily miss it.

Stopped truck mostly hidden behind a direction sign on an expressway

A large direction sign hides most of a stopped truck. Even with only a small part visible, the vehicle is detected and the operator is alerted.

Stopped truck detected at the edge of the camera view on a curved expressway

A truck has stopped at the far edge of the camera view on a curved section of the expressway, where it is easy to overlook.

Stopped car partly hidden behind an overhead road sign, shown enlarged

A stopped car is partly hidden behind an overhead road sign. The enlarged detail shows the vehicle that was detected even though only part of it is visible.

Distant stopped vehicle detected far from the traffic camera on a busy expressway

The stopped vehicle is far from the camera and takes up only a few pixels of the image. Detecting distant vehicles lets a single camera cover a longer section of the road.

Vehicle stopped at the edge of the expressway, partly hidden by a lamp post

A vehicle has stopped at the edge of the camera view, partly hidden by a lamp post. Stopped vehicles are recognised even when only part of them is visible.
