cloud based smart traffic management
This Project presents a solution to deal with traffic congestion in metropolitan cities and presents a central traffic control system which runs on a pretty simple algorithm. Our product would include the entire mechanism of detection of congestion and increasing the red light duration of traffic signals in the crossings.
How it Works
Each traffic crossing in a city would fall on a grid, if for example we are constantly keeping a 5x5 grid under surveillance then 9 images would come from these crossings at regular intervals of time.These 9 images are fed into a system which uses state of the art computer vision to determine the level of congestion in these crossings by various parameters like count of heavy vehicles. Now if for example we get crossing denoted by (1,1) as congested then the corresponding red light duration in the neighboring junctions increases and this inturn reduces the intake of vehicles in the congested junction and allows the vehicles in the congested junction some time to disperse.
Since we are considering static images and not the CCTV footages, so the images get changed after every 5secs.
The change depicts the present crowding in the particular junction.
To get the location,we use Here Maps API.
