Intelligent traffic management system

This system takes an image from the CCTV cameras at traffic junctions as input for real-time traffic density calculation using image processing and object detection. This system can be broken down into 3 modules: Vehicle Detection module, Signal Switching Algorithm, and Simulation module. This image is passed on to the vehicle detection algorithm, which uses YOLO. The number of vehicles of each class, such as car, bike, bus, and truck, is detected, which is to calculate the density of traffic. The signal switching algorithm uses this density, among some other factors, to set the green signal timer for each lane. The red signal times are updated accordingly. The green signal time is restricted to a maximum and minimum value in order to avoid starvation of a particular lane. A simulation is also developed to demonstrate the system’s effectiveness and compare it with the existing static system as shown above.
