<![CDATA[This research focuses on assessing and developing a real-time detection system using the YOLOv8 algorithm. Accurate and fast vehicle detection is a big challenge in modern traffic management, especially in various environmental conditions such as bad weather, low lighting, and high traffic density. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of YOLOv8 under these conditions and identify potential improvements. The dataset used consists of 16,990 vehicle images with various variations and environmental conditions. After being trained, the model is evaluated using metrics such as precision, recall, and F1-score, as well as Intersection over Union (IoU) with a threshold of 0.8 on IoU. The results show that YOLOv8 is superior with a fairly high detection accuracy of 78%, with precision of 82% and recall above 90%, and is able to detect vehicles in real-time conditions. However, the challenge of detecting small objects or irregularly shaped vehicles such as tractors still needs to be optimized. This research also compared the performance of YOLOv8 with the SSD (Single Shot Detector) algorithm, where YOLOv8 was proven to be superior in terms of accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score. The research results obtained provide valuable insights for the development of traffic management systems based on deep learning technology. The main contribution of this research is to provide a more efficient and effective vehicle detection solution, which can be applied in modern traffic management systems. Thus, it is hoped that the results of this research can increase the efficiency of traffic management and have a positive impact on the development of intelligent transportation systems in the future.]]>
