# MOTOR — A Multimodal Dataset for Two-Wheeler Rider Behavior Understanding

[**Project Page**](https://varuniiith.github.io/MOTOR-Dataset/) | [**Paper**](https://huggingface.co/papers/2605.22550) | [**Code**](https://github.com/VarunIIITH/MOTOR)

MOTOR is the first large-scale, multi-view, multimodal resource dedicated to two-wheelers in dense, unstructured traffic. It comprises 1,629 annotated sequences (25+ hours of video data) collected from 16 riders and integrates synchronized front, rear, and helmet videos, rider eye-gaze from wearable trackers, on-road audio, and telemetry (GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope).

## Sample Usage

To use this dataset with the official codebase, follow these steps:

### Setup
```bash
conda create -n motor python=3.10 -y
conda activate motor
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### Training
The following command trains a three-stream fusion model (RGB + gaze + telemetry) on a Swin3D-T backbone:
```bash
python train.py --config configs/swin3dt_gaze_tele.yaml
```

## Structure

```text
annotations.csv                              # one row per clip
clips/<ride>/front/<clip>.mp4                # front-facing road view
clips/<ride>/helmet/<clip>.mp4               # helmet-mounted view
clips/<ride>/rear/<clip>.mp4                 # rear-facing view
clips/<ride>/eye_tracker/<clip>.mp4          # rider's first-person gaze view
clips/<ride>/telemetry/<clip>.csv            # per-frame gyro + GPS for the clip
```

Faces and license plates in all camera videos are blurred for privacy.
Two rides (`14`, `15`) do not include the eye-tracker modality. One ride (`12`) has GPS-only telemetry.

## Annotation columns

`Video ID, Clip ID, Timestamp, Road Type, No. of Lanes, Road Marking, Divider, Traffic Density, Event, Head Pose Direction, Legality`

- **Event:** going straight, lane change, overtake, left/right turn, u-turn, weaving through traffic, obstruction avoidance, distracted driving, stop, violation, near collision
- **Legality:** legal / illegal — based on Indian Motor Vehicle Act and local conventions

## Per-clip telemetry CSV schema

`frame, timestamp_s, gyro_x, gyro_y, gyro_z, gps_lat, gps_lon, gps_alt_m, speed_2d_mps, speed_3d_mps`

Resampled to 30 Hz; `timestamp_s` is clip-local.
