Abstract

Abstract: The violation of red signal are the major reasons for the occurrence of numerous accidents at intersections. An effort has been made to study the current rate of red signal violation in different road networks in Chennai which accounted for 18.27% and also to provide profile of red signal violation with various parameters. Road inventory survey was done at four selected intersections. The primary survey was conducted and 29743 samples were collected and analysed. The result of study provided scalable indicators for monitoring and evaluating road safety strategies to prevent red light violation in the country. The present research work also made an attempt to introduce an automatic traffic control system based on RFID technology and digital image processing. Then developed a prototype to identify red signal violation automatically with penalty system. These findings represent some useful reactions to improving road safety of urban functions in India and other developing countries. Keywords: Red signal violation, Traffic volume count, RFID, Road safety, Automatic traffic control system.
