In this paper, a novel real-time traffic control system which can easily keep traffic in control using image processing techniques is presented. In this method, a webcam is used in each stage of the traffic light in order to take pictures of the roads where traffic is bound to occur. Count of vehicles in these images is calculated using image processing tools in Matlab and different timings are allocated according to the count along with a green signal for vehicles to pass. In the proposed prototype, the green and red signals are represented using LEDs and the decrementing timer for the green signal is represented by a seven segment display.
