Intelligent Traffic Control System using Image Processing

Parichita Basak | Ramandeep Kaur ^[13]

Abstract: Traffic congestion is becoming more and more serious day by day. Main reasons for augmented traffic jam are increasing number of vehicles, the poor infrastructure and no proper distribution. The main reason for traffic is increased number of vehicles and increased number of population and development of country as whole. Management of traffic in India is a tough job and only manual efforts cannot solve this serious issue. We need a system to handle this situation more effectively. We need a dynamic system that is capable of controlling traffic as well as avoid congestion of roads, known as Intelligent Traffic Control System. In this project, we are dealing with traffic via image processing. Using different types of image processing algorithms, the vehicles can be detected on basis of which traffic lights can switch.
