Abstract
Traffic control is the big issue in today’s era. The management of traffic in India is also a tough job and only manual efforts can’t stop this kind of problem so we need machines. We need a system that can handle such a situation effectively. Today’s traffic control system is able to handle such a situation but not that much effectively because they are static in nature. We need a system which is dynamic in nature so that it can handle traffic smoothly and such a system called Intelligent Traffic control System. In this project we are creating the same dynamic traffic control system which has the ability to control the traffic as well as avoid the congestion of roads. In this project we are dealing with the traffic via image processing. Several traffic control approaches address the problem of reducing traffic jams. A class of them deals with coordination of traffic lights to allow vehicles traveling in a given direction. This project consists of webcam, processor & LCD display installed at each junction. Here each junction and its traffic lights behave like a social insect. Today’s traffic control systems are based on microcontroller and microprocessor. This has lots of limitation one of the predefine structure which can’t be handled by real time situation. The fuzzy logic control traffic system is described in 1995. The fuzzy logic controller follows the same pattern of schedule. Using the vehicle detection system the performance of the traffic control can be managed. Using different types of image processing algorithms the vehicle can be detected so on that bases the traffic lights can be switch.
