Traffic Organizer Based on Density of Vehicles

Abstract

The project is aimed to design an automatic density based traffic signal system, which reduces the waiting time in signal and clear the traffic jam in easier way. Nowadays most of cities facing lot of traffic jams in signal and they need to wait a lot. Sometimes it went to hours of time. To solve this problem, the proposed method wasdesigned using Raspberry Pi. If there are four lane’s  and one lane having most of the vehicle’s and other lane’s having only having few vehicles then , when the signal is turned green  the vehicles cross the signal within few seconds on less density lanes, remaining time is getting waste. Higher density lanes take more amount of time to pass the vehicles. To overcome this problem the proposed method was designed.This is achieved by camera module connected with Raspberry Pi. Vehicles count had been calculated using camera module on each sides of signal.  When the density is calculated, higher count of vehicle which belongs to the corresponding lane’s signal light have to be turned on in green color, with the help of the modules of the project. Camera module can capture the distinct vehicle’s presence and sends the information to the microcontroller. All the sides of the lane’s vehicle counthas been calculated individually and send to microcontroller and find the optimized solution for the traffic system.
