In the modern era, the escalation of vehicles on the roads has caused an increasin g need for a reliable and intelli g ent control of the traffic li g ht system. This paper is aimed at solvin g this crisis by effectively computin g the density of traffic based on the ima g es picked up by cameras placed on the traffic posts. The method involves a simple al g orithm which performs pixel elimination and detection followed by processin g usin g a fuzzy controller. It can be further extended towards hardware implementation usin g dedicated processors. Our approach involves takin g ima g es at re g ular intervals and continuously processin g them with a reference ima g e which is captured when there is no traffic (empty road).The reference ima g es are stored and used for calibration purpose. This al g orithm enables the system to infer the traffic density which is then evaluated by a fuzzy controller to determine the timin g of the traffic si g nals. The fuzzy controller consists of an output function which dynamically controls the output based on the comparison of current ima g e's pixel count correspondin g to the vehicle density.Index Terms-Fuzzy controller, Pixel elimination and detection al g orithm, output distribution function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
