Abstract:
The vehicle population is growing rapidly with the growth of the population. Therefore, traffic
congestion is increasing in urban areas. Associated problems such as accidents, stress, and pollution
also increase in proportion to traffic problems. In most cities, traffic light systems are used to reduce
traffic congestion. Most traffic lights work with a pre-programmed method, or Traffic Police control
traffic congestion manually. In Sri Lanka, there is usually heavy traffic congestion during peak hours.
During peak hours, Traffic Police control traffic congestion manually. Since this manual procedure is
inadequate to control heavy traffic congestion, a real-time traffic controlling system is needed to solve
this problem. Our proposed system is implemented to control this traffic congestion problem using realtime traffic density. Further, it is expected to avoid or minimize traffic congestion using image
processing techniques.
