Traffic Management System

Traffic Management is a big issue which impacts us almost daily. Use of technology such as IoT and image processing can lead to a smooth traffic management system. The common reason for traffic congestion is due to the lack of an efficient traffic prioritization system. The internet of things is a network of devices. The embedded systems includes sensors, actuators, and electronics.With software and connectivity locally or over internet  helps in  transfer of data. Each of these devices is uniquely identifiable in the network and are highly interoperable. Image processing using OpenCV is a technique that is used to process an input image and obtain the traffic densities along various lanes in a junction. Existing traffic management solutions include using RFID tags on vehicles to obtain a vehicle count. This can also be done using ultrasonic sensors. The problem with these methods is that when implemented in a large scale, the cost of the entire system can be exponentially higher than an image processing approach as each vehicle will have to be fitted with an RFID tag. Hence, implementing this model at a largescale level, for example in a metropolitan city will be time consuming and expensive. This has led to the development of our algorithm, which uses image processing and IoT along with CCTV cameras. This system is efficient, as it uses CCTV cameras that are already present in traffic signals of most major metropolitan cities. Hence implementing the system at a largescale level is feasible. This algorithm also takes care of corner cases like heavy utility vehicles and motorbikes. It can also be used at night and during unfavorable weather conditions.The algorithm used detects the density of traffic as opposed to the count of vehicles by taking input images from a CCTV camera, comparing it with a sample image of an empty road and obtaining a match percentage. The traffic density can be found easily using this since it has a disproportionate relation with the match percentage. The traffic signals can be altered accordingly using the traffic density. The output is then sent to the ThingSpeak cloud where it can be analyzed.

Jamming Problems

Many cities in the world face jamming problems in road traffic, particularly in metropolitan cities. At present the traffic controlling systems aresemiautomatic in nature. With the introduction of IoT in road traffic management systems, it revolutionizes the field of road traffic management system and improves the road traffic congestion problem.This paper proposes an IoT-based road traffic management system for metropolitan cities. The proposed system provides the hassle free movement of the vehicles to avoid inconvenience and reroute the higher priority vehicles. Experimental results show that the proposed system gives higher success rate for the low traffic density in the lane.

Traffic congestion at junctions is a serious issue on a daily basis. The prevailing traffic light controllers are unable to manage the different traffic flows. Most of the current systems operate on a timing mechanism that changes the signal after a particular interval of time. This may cause frustration and result in motorist's time waste. Traffic congestion is a major problem in the currently existing systems. Delays, safety, parking, and environmental problems are the main issues of current traffic systems that emit smoke and contribute to increasing Global Warming. Sensor-based systems reduce the waiting time and maximize the total number of vehicles that can cross an intersection. Our proposed system can control the traffic lights based on image processing without the need for traffic police. This can reduce congestion, delay, road accidents, need for manpower. Under image processing, we use sub techniques like RGB to Gray conversion, Image resizing, Image Enhancement, Edge detection, Image matching, and Timing allocation. A real-time image is captured for every 1 second. After edge detection procedure for both reference and real-time images, these images are compared using SURF Algorithm. Then the amount of traffic is detected and the details are stored in the server. Arduino is used for a traffic signal in the hardware part. It consists of a Wi-Fi module. The micro-controller used in the system Arduino. Four cameras are placed on respective roads and these cameras are used to capture images to analyze traffic density. Then the traffic signals are decided according to the density of traffic. Our technique can be effective to combat traffic on Indian Roads. A lot of time can be saved by deploying this system and also it conserves a lot of resources as well as the economy

On The Road

Traffic congestion is now a big issue. Although it seems to penetrate throughout the world, urban towns are the ones which are most effected. And it is expanding in nature that it is necessary to understand the density of roads in real time to better regulate signals and efficient management of transport. Various traffic congestions, such as limited capacity, unrestricted demand, huge Red Light waits might occur. While insufficient capacity and unlimited demand are somehow interconnected, their delay in lighting is difficult to encode and not traffic dependant. The necessity to simulate and optimise traffic controls therefore arises in order to better meet this growing demand. The traffic management of information, ramp metering, and updates in real-time has been frequently used in recent years for image processing and monitoring systems. An image processing can also be used for the traffic density estimation. This research describes the approach for the computation of real-time traffic density by image processing for using live picture feed from cameras. It focuses also on the algorithm for the transmission of traffic signals on the road according to the density of vehicles and therefore aims to reduce road congestion, which reduces the number of accidents.

On The Road

The traffic congestion is one of the major problems in crowded cities, which causes people to spend hours on the road. In traffic congestion situations, finding alternate routes for emergency vehicles, which provides shortest travel time to nearby hospital is critically life-saving issue. In this paper, we propose a traffic management system and an algorithm for routing of an emergency vehicle. The algorithm uses distance between source and destination, maximum vehicle count, maximum speed, average speed, traffic light conditions on the roads, which are assumed to support vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication in 5G IoT network. Simulations are performed on CupCarbon IoT simulator platform for various test scenarios. The performance of the proposed emergency vehicle routing algorithm is compared against well known Link State algorithm. And, the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Economic Developments

India is a developing country; the population of India is growing exponentially. India ranks 2nd in the world in terms of population. As there will be a gradual increase in population there will be an increase in the number of vehicles, as a result of which traffic congestion is increasing and as a result, emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire-fighters, etc. are having difficulty getting to their destination on time. Vehicle use is growing rapidly due to recent technological and economic developments, and at the same time, the lack of infrastructure against demand is leading to an increase in the number of accidents and fatalities. Minor problems in our health system have prompted us to come up with a petition to make this process work and save lives. Through book reviews and reflections, I have proposed a project in a smart traffic management system using image processing. The aim of this project is to improve simulation to determine traffic congestion, to detect a crash/accident, and to obtain an ambulance using image processing and machine learning techniques. The proposed independent work is simulated in the form of an experimental setup using Arduino and LED displays that mimic real-time traffic. These simulation results reflect the terms of the acquisition as it provides an emergency vehicle pass to catch up on peak hours.
