Image Processing Based Automatic Traffic Control System

As the number of people living in cities increases and more people drive, one of the most important problems is traffic congestion. An intelligent system that could effectively manage traffic congestion based on traffic density was required due to the rise in the number of cars. While current traffic management systems operate using fixed time-based methodologies, conventional traffic control systems are unable to manage the complicated traffic flow at junctions. There are numerous methods for establishing effective traffic control systems in urban areas. However, no method exists that is effective in real-time, and no system is prepared to accept changes on a constant basis. Using a digital image processing tool in MATLAB and the image processing technique known as morphological operations, the real-time traffic management system determines the percentage match to control the flow of traffic. By use MATLAB code that modifies the green, yellow, and red-light times in relation to traffic volume and density. To enhance its robustness and reliability the proposed traffic control system which is based on image processing also integrates advanced features such as scenarios involving emergency vehicles.
