In the present scenario, each and every traffic signal is switched on and off according to the time which is set for it. This causes unnecessary delay in the process of clearing up the traffic jam. This is because the roads that have no vehicles are given a green signal and the sides that have very high traffic are given red. This causes unnecessary congestion in junctions. This can be minimized by converting the traffic signals from time based systems to traffic density based systems. When a traffic signal is density based rather than being time based, the signals are switched on and off according to the amount of traffic present in the roads respectively. This system is used to reduce congestion on roads. Here To control traffic, a camera system is employed. In order to adjust traffic signals and advise alternate routes in the event of a traffic jam, they gather information at their individual locations and work in concert with other cameras in the system. The data obtained from the cameras are processed and the density of each corresponding side is determined and according to the data the traffic lights are switched.
