Road Traffic Recognition is very important in many applications, such as automated deployment, traffic mapping, and vehicle tracking. Proposed traffic sign recognition system tails the transfer learning method that is frequently used in neural network uses. The benefit of expending this technique is that the initially network has been trained with a rich set of features appropriate to a wide range of images. Once the network is trained , learning can be transferred to the new activity adjustment to the network. Firsthand Indian traffic sign dataset is used.New results exhibit that the suggested method can accomplish modest outcomes when matched with other related techniques.

Traffic sign recognition is critical for advanced driver assistant system and road infrastructure survey. Traditional traffic sign recognition algorithms can't efficiently recognize traffic signs due to its limitation, yet deep learning-based technique requires huge amount of training data before its use, which is time consuming and labor intensive. In this study, transfer learning-based method is introduced for traffic sign recognition and classification, which significantly reduces the amount of training data and alleviates computation expense using Inception-v3 model. In our experiment, Belgium Traffic Sign Database is chosen and augmented by data pre-processing technique. Subsequently the layer-wise features extracted using different convolution and pooling operations are compared and analyzed. Finally transfer learning-based model is repetitively retrained several times with fine-tuning parameters at different learning rate, and excellent reliability and repeatability are observed based on statistical analysis. The results show that transfer learning model can achieve a high-level recognition performance in traffic sign recognition, which is up to 99.18 % of recognition accuracy at 0.05 learning rate (average accuracy of 99.09 %). This study would be beneficial in other traffic infrastructure recognition such as road lane marking and roadside protection facilities, and so on.
