Situational detection in the traffic system is of great significance to traffic management and even urban management. Traditional detection methods are generally based on roadside equipment monitoring roads, and it is difficult to support large-scale and fine-grained traffic incident detection. In this study, we propose a detection method applied to the mobile edge, which detects traffic incidents based on the video captured by vehicle cameras, so as to overcome the limitations of roadside terminal perception. For swarm intelligence detection, we propose an improved YOLOv5s object detection network, adding an atrous pyramid pooling layer to the network and introducing a fusion attention mechanism to improve the model accuracy. Compared with the raw YOLOv5s, the mAP metrics of our improved model are increased by 3.3% to 84.2%, enabling it to detect vehicles, pedestrians, traffic accidents, and fire traffic incidents on the road with high precision in real time. This provides information for city managers to help them grasp the abnormal operation status of roads and cities in a timely and effective manner.
