The intelligent transport system aims to control congestion and enhance the driving experience through a variety of technologies and communication systems. They provide us a lot of data which can be fed to machine learning technologies to provide further enhanced services to the common public as well as the transport officials. In this busy modern world, the usage of vehicles is highly increased and thus monitoring and detecting these vehicles onboard with better accuracy and less time cost is quite a challenging task. We propose an intelligent traffic management solution to detect vehicles (static and onboard) which finds its set-about in the field of machine vision technology called YOLO D-NET (You Only Look Once Dilated Net). YOLO D-NET puts forward a novel architecture which incorporates the implementation of traditional YOLO model alongside of dilated Convolution Neural Network (CNN). Our paper also focuses on making a constructive comparison between the four different models namely SSD (Single Shot Multibox Detector) Inception, Faster R-CNN (Region-based CNN), YOLO ResNet (Residual Neural Network) and the proposed model YOLO D-NET. We have used the predefined COCO (Common Objects in Context) dataset and the custom dataset to train the traditional models. Also YOLO D-NET makes use of the predefined YOLO weights followed by the dilated CNN layers. Our proposed model was found to be 97.5 percent accurate with enhanced precision and accuracy than the other models particularly with less training time than the traditional YOLO model.
