The dataset, collected exclusively from smartphone cameras, provided a realistic representation of real-world scenarios, including day and night conditions. Most existing datasets lack suitable classes for autonomous navigation on Bangladeshi roads, making it challenging for researchers to develop models that can handle the intricacies of road scenarios. To address this issue, the authors proposed a new set of classes based on characteristics rather than local vehicle names. The dataset aims to encourage the development of models that can handle the unique challenges of Bangladeshi road scenarios for the effective deployment of autonomous vehicles. The dataset did not consist of any online images to simulate real-world conditions faced by autonomous vehicles. The classification of vehicles is challenging because of the diverse range of vehicles on Bangladeshi roads, including those not found elsewhere in the world. The proposed classification system is scalable and can accommodate future vehicles, making it a valuable resource for researchers in the autonomous vehicle sector. ## Recorded benchmark results A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. ## Original sources and implementation [Original paper]() [PDF]()
