Image Processing Based Smart Traffic Controlling and Monitoring System Using Arduino

Abstract

This paper concentrates on the necessity of intelligent traffic system and the peculiar way of implementation with embedded system tools. Here it is implemented by utilizing an object counting methods and detection of emergency vehicles simultaneously thereby controls the traffic signals depends on the priority outcome. This method utilizes image acquisition method using a real time live video stream and the algorithm is processed by utilizing MATLAB. The results obtained with the prototype are much encouraging and the system does help the present traffic control system to be more efficient. Computer Vision being one of the most researched are for the future technologies, this system will add gain to this sector with efficient operation replacing the current primitive timer traffic control system. This helps the emergency casualties to be attended quickly without panic of traffic congestion.
