RSITS: Road safety Intelligent Transport System in Deep Federated Learning As...Abdullah Raza
In smart cities, the frequency of traffic collisions has been rising daily.
More than half of all traffic-related deaths and injuries happen to people most vulnerable on the road. According to the World Health Organization report published
in 20182022, 1.3 million people died due to accidents on the road due to vehicles, and
30 to 50 million were injured. To address this issue, we present the road safety intelligent transport system (RSITS) based on deep federated learning-assisted fog cloud
networks. RSITS offers mobile LiDAR sensors and vehicle LiDAR sensors enabled
applications to alert road safety mechanisms. To deal with the complex features of
road safety, we trained the large pedestrian and vehicle detection dataset on different
road safety fog servers and aggregated them on the centralized cloud. To ensure that
constraints such as safety, the accuracy of alarms, response times, security, and deadlines are met, we present a deep federated learning scheduling scheme (DFLSS) that
consists of different components: Initially, we bound all applications so that emergency tasks, such as moving an object within 5 meters, should be processed locally
with the minimum response time. Due to resource constraints and the limitations of
devices, other tasks of applications are offloaded to the centralized cloud for processing. To ensure security, each computing node must encrypt and decrypt data before
offloading and processing it in DFLSS. Simulation results show that the proposed
DFLSS outperformed all existing approaches regarding accuracy, response time, and
deadline for road safety applications.

SafetyCube concept and vision
• Problem
– Evidence based road safety policies are becoming more usual
and there is much better availability of national data and state of
the art knowledge
– Effective road safety policies need good information about
accident risk factors and about measures
• SafetyCube will meet this need by generating new
knowledge about accident risk factors and the
effectiveness of measures relevant to Europe, to be
integrated in a European Road Safety Decision Support
System (DSS)
4. www.roadsafety-dss.EU
SafetyCube DSS Objectives
The SafetyCube DSS objective
is to provide the European and Global road safety community
a user friendly, web-based, interactive Decision SupportTool
to properly substantiate their road safety decisions
for the actions, measures, programmes, policies and strategies
to be implemented at local, regional, national, European and international level.
The main contents of the SafetyCube DSS concern:
• road accident risk factors and problems
• road safety measures
• best estimate of effectiveness
• cost-benefit evaluation
• all related analytic background
Special focus on linking road safety problems with related measures.
