Automated Traffic Light System Based on Image Processing and Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

Management of traffic is an ever-growing concern and manual management of traffic especially in metropolitan cities is strenuous task. In this paper, we present an automated traffic light system based on image processing and machine learning techniques to automatically identify the number of vehicles in each lane to set the green signal time optimally to avoid large waiting time and also clear congestion at faster rate. The YOLO darknet weights and labels are used with categorized classes to identify and detect number of vehicles in the frame of the captured image. The entire system is implemented using Raspberry pi 3B+ integrated with rotatable webcam. The results show that this system is reliable as it produces 100% accuracy in producing the exact vehicle count and setting of green time optimally to have a wait time no longer than 90 seconds.
