According to the traffic conditions in Pakistan, traffic violations and anomalies occur daily. Rush drivers do not respect traffic rules and regulations which is a major concern. According to a survey each family in Pakistan owns a vehicle whether it’s a car or bike. This results in issues like traffic congestion as the number of vehicles are increasing. Transportation demand exceeds the road capacity. So, we provided an intelligent system to improve traffic management and control Road Pulse. Building new roads, hiring new police officers is not a good option. Fast reaction and prevention of traffic violations play a key role to ensure the safety of vehicles and citizens. For this purpose, in Pakistan surveillance cameras are installed everywhere to prevent traffic violations but they are unable to detect events like a Lane violation, vehicle crash events etc. due to the faulty architecture. In Pakistan, traffic issues are rising day by day which are causing many causalities like accidents, loss of innocent lives, and compromise in the safety of citizens. Our project, Road Pulse, is an application based upon Web as well as Android modules that detects the traffic violations traffic anomalies that are happening daily in Pakistan. Violations and anomalies like lane violations, vehicle crash, etc. which results in many tragic events. The app uses a pre-trained model that’s embedded within the Web app. The pre-trained model YOLO v3 is a Fully Convolutional Neural Network that uses machine learning techniques to help us in predicting the violations accurately. The model is trained on a relevant dataset to achieve accuracy. Efforts directed at enforcing traffic laws lack due to no improper surveillance. On the other hand, surveillance systems are limited in duration and intensity, thereby producing weak halo effects on drivers' behaviour. Also, the public attitudes towards compliance are largely conditioned by the visibility of Automated surveillance systems. The effects of the development on driver’s behaviour are reviewed and proposals for the improvement of a modified traffic policing structure are urged out. By the presentation of such a framework many innocent lives can be saved and citizens safety can also be restored. The burden of policing departments can also be reduced by introducing such an intelligent and automated surveillance system.
Study Network In Virtual Reality

The Internet made it possible to connect different people from around the world. Almost every country on this planet has an internet provider and overall 48% population around the globe have access to the World Wide Web. The proposed project i.e. Study Networks in Virtual Space (SNVS) allows users to study and collaborate with instructors and groupmates anytime and anywhere with the environment of their choice. It gives users a personal and customized environment and interactive interface. With the increase in mobile culture, we can use that in our advantage to build book-reading habits among the common people and encourage them to adopt healthy habits. The proposed project will act as a social hub where people can virtually meet and discuss different aspects of the current social issues or simply have a good friendly critical book reading with family and friends. The system will be designed using Unity, Google SDK for VR, C#, and AR Core, etc. Login history and recent activity of the user will be saved in the database which will further help them to start from where they left previously. Education is the least explored field in Virtual Reality and our project has the great potential to change that stereotype.
