Real Time Traffic Light Controller Using Image Processing

Abstract: The frequent traffic jams at major intersections calls for an effective management system. This paper suggests implementing a smart traffic controller by image processing using Raspberry pi module. A camera will be installed on the four sides to capture image sequences. The captured images will then be analyzed using digital image processing for vehicles intensity, and based on this intensity on the road, traffic light can be controlled. It has been customized to control the traffic system by giving sufficient time for each side, depending on the number of cars on each direction to give out a way for ITS [Intelligent Transport System].
