Density Based Traffic Control

Abstract

With the rapid development of road infrastructure, the volume of the vehicle on the road network increases which leads to traffic Congestion. The exact situation exists in the Coimbatore cities. Traffic congestions are amongst the top list of the problems faced in Muscat and other cities around Coimbatore. This is mainly caused due to the rapid surprise in the number of vehicles in a short period. To overcome such an impact of traffic congestions, it is required to develop an IoT Based traffic control system. The proposed system would be based on the measurement of the actual traffic density on the road. This would be achieved using real-time video and image processing techniques. Wherein the images captured and are stored in the server, which will be compared with the real-time image captured via camera to identify the density. The theme is to control the traffic by determining the traffic density on each side of the four roads and enabling a controlling option of the traffic signal to the user through a software application.
