Adaptive Traffic Control System Based on Embedded Linux Board and Image Processing

Abstract

The Traffic causes major concern in many of the developing as well as developed countries. The proposed system is designed to get the smooth and efficient traffic flow for daily life as wellas emergency conditions and also to provide safety in public transport. It is installed at the traffic signal intersection which controls the traffic light signal at the intersection.The proposed system provide the timing to traffic light signal depending upon the densities on the road instead of the fixed time frames, so which resultsheavily loaded side turned on for longer time as compare to the other lanes. Once the timing to each lane is allotted then as per that timing each lane is open in clockwise manner for some specified period of time. Afterthat period of time once again we allot the different time for each lane depending on their densitiesand this cycle is repeating endlessly. Here the density on the road is decided by the use of digital camera which continuously taking videos, and then afterword those video frames arefurther processed by the SBC board Raspberry-Pi with the help of OpenCV tool. In this proposed system GSM and GPS modules used to provide extra facilities to the emergency conditions. And at the same time, the proposed system also synchronizes traffic by storing and updating the traffic management database on the web server which adversely provides smooth and efficient traffic flow.
