TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION USING VIDEO STREAMING
Priya Thakur, Shruti Wankhade, Gayatri Wavhal · Journal of Harmonized Research in Engineering · 2014
In today’s era, there is an emerging need for the i ntroduction of an advanced technology which would be useful to improve the traffic control. It is important to know the road traffic density especially in mega-cities for signal control and ef fective traffic management. The objective of the paper is to deal with the real time traffic density for signal control and traffic management. This project involves video surveillance system using im age processing techniques. The video is expected to have shadows of the vehicles present. H ence shadow removal is done to remove the error due to shadows. Blob analysis is done in orde r to classify the vehicles based on area calculations. Hence the density is calculated for a definite time slot. Signal synchronization will be done as an application of the traffic density calcu lation.
