ABSTRACT

Traffic is the major problem which country faces today. To

overcome this problem, this proposed system contains camera and
microcontroller to process image and measures density of traffic and the
traffic controller changes signal timing automatically based on the
traffic density at junction and the cameras are mounted on roadside
respectively. The MATLAB coding takes decision based on different
vehicles count, and updates the traffic light delays as a result.

OBJECTIVES

To control the traffic lights based on the density of the vehicles at the
junction using image processing.
• To analyse images for density detection even during foggy and
raining conditions.
• To give priority for ambulance and fire service van.
• To recognize number plate for further purpose.
• To operate the system using solar power.
LITERATURE SURVEY

• D.Prakash ,B.Sandhya Devi, R.Naveen Kumar, P.Shabarinath- Density

Based Traffic Light Control System Using Image Processing-
International Journal of Advanced Research in Electrical
Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering . This proposed system
contains camera and microcontroller to process image and measures density of
traffic and the traffic controller changes signal timing automatically based on the
traffic density . The number of vehicles passing on road is get counted by
microcontroller. The microcontroller takes decision based on different vehicles
count, and updates the traffic light delays as a result. The traffic light is situated at
a certain distance away from the camera system. In the proposed system, we
measure the traffic density using image processing by MATLAB and ARM
processor to control the traffic signal.

WORK DONE SO FAR

• On the proposed system the main objective is density measurement

and filtering these process are done by the matlab coding .
• Number plate recognition.
WORK HAS TO DONE

• Way to detect ambulance and fire service vehicles.

• Components have to be collected.
