Comprehensive Dataset for Detecting Road Anomalies in Diverse Real-World Situations

In Smart Cities, technologies are playing an important role in efficiently managing the rapid growth of the world's industrialization today. The deployment of surveillance cameras has proliferated to improve public safety and security. Many Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras have been installed to monitor and safeguard public spaces efficiently within the cities. Despite advancements in technology, video and image processing still largely rely on manual observation. This manual analysis is time-consuming, prone to missing critical details, and costly in terms of labor and resources. Nevertheless, monitoring large video feeds for long periods indicates fatigue, demise of focus, and errors, particularly when video surveillance is a necessity. 
Road anomaly detection is one of the prominent computer vision issues that researchers have investigated to guarantee public safety. Road anomaly identification is increasingly difficult and complex due to the variety and complexity of abnormalities. 
Deep learning algorithms must be efficient but also need a large dataset to train to recognize road anomalies in different environments. We proposed a custom real-world data set containing road anomaly images and videos that are made available to the public and private surveillance systems. Primary data were collected from diverse sites in Pakistan, and the data were gathered by recording videos and capturing images by using mobile and surveillance cameras The dataset encompasses five major categories of road anomaly effects.: vehicle accidents, vehicle fire, fighting, snatching(gunpoint), and potholes that classification modeling while promoting improvement in both scientific research and realistic application. The dataset also encompasses annotations with You Only Look Once (YOLO) based bounding boxes and class label files in text format for every image.   
The researchers can utilize data to train and validate their anomaly detection algorithms and models, thus increasing public security and safety. This dataset focuses on natural environment scenes with a detailed examination of safe transportation and impacts on broader environmental knowledge. Data can give to the liable and ethical arrangement of Artificial Intelligence technologies in surveillance security system
