Abstract

The rapid increase in traffic volume, particularly personal vehicles, has created an urgent need for effective traffic light management and monitoring to ensure safety and reduce congestion. This study leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a system capable of recognizing traffic light statuses (red, green, yellow, and malfunctioning) and transmitting data remotely, enabling timely detection and resolution of issues. The research process consists of two main phases: (1) data collection, processing, and training of the YOLOv8 model for traffic light recognition, and (2) development of an Android mobile application that connects users with the monitoring system. Experimental results demonstrate high model performance (mAP50 ~ 0.959), achieving an accuracy rate of 83% in traffic light recognition. This system not only enhances traffic monitoring through AI but also contributes to digital transformation efforts, paving the way for the development of intelligent transportation systems.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, digital transformation, smart transportation, traffic signal monitoring, YOLOv8 model

Tóm tắt

Sự gia tăng nhanh chóng của phương tiện giao thông, đặc biệt là xe cá nhân, đặt ra nhu cầu cấp bách về quản lý và giám sát tín hiệu đèn giao thông nhằm đảm bảo an toàn và giảm thiểu ùn tắc. Nghiên cứu này ứng dụng trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI) để phát triển một hệ thống nhận diện trạng thái đèn giao thông (đỏ, xanh, vàng, lỗi) và truyền dữ liệu từ xa, giúp phát hiện cũng như xử lý sự cố kịp thời. Quá trình nghiên cứu bao gồm hai giai đoạn chính: (1) thu thập, xử lý dữ liệu và huấn luyện mô hình YOLOv8 để nhận diện tín hiệu đèn giao thông, và (2) phát triển ứng dụng di động Android kết nối người dùng với hệ thống giám sát. Kết quả thực nghiệm cho thấy mô hình hoạt động với hiệu suất cao (mAP50 ~ 0.959), đạt độ chính xác nhận diện đèn giao thông lên đến 83%. Hệ thống này không chỉ nâng cao hiệu quả giám sát giao thông bằng AI mà còn góp phần thúc đẩy chuyển đổi số và hướng tới mô hình giao thông thông minh.

Từ khóa: Chuyển đổi số, giám sát tín hiệu giao thông, giao thông thông minh, mô hình YOLOv8, trí tuệ nhân tạo
