TRAFFIC ACCIDENT DETECTION IN SMART CITY TRANSPORTATION USING AN ENSEMBLE DEEP LEARNING FRAMEWORK
In the era of smart cities, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are pivotal for ensuring efficient, safe, and sustainable urban mobility. One of the critical challenges in ITS is the timely and accurate detection of traffic accidents, which directly impacts emergency response, traffic management, and public safety. This study presents a hybrid deep learning ensemble approach that integrates classical machine learning algorithms—Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), and Random Forest (RF)—to enhance the accuracy and robustness of traffic accident detection. The proposed method leverages high-dimensional traffic data including vehicle speed, GPS coordinates, traffic density, and time-series patterns captured from IoT sensors and surveillance systems. A feature extraction phase powered by deep learning techniques, such as autoencoders or convolutional layers, reduces noise and enhances the representational quality of input data. Subsequently, individual classifiers (SVM, KNN, and RF) are trained on the processed features and their outputs are combined using a weighted ensemble strategy to form the final prediction.
