Abstract—Congestion in traffic is a serious problem nowadays.
Although it seems to pervade everywhere, mega cities are the
ones most affected by it. And it's ever increasing nature makes it
imperative to know the road traffic density in real time for better
signal control and effective traffic management. There can be
different causes of congestion in traffic like insufficient capacity,
unrestrained demand, large Red Light delays etc. While
insufficient capacity and unrestrained demand are somewhere
interrelated, the delay of respective light is hard coded and not
dependent on traffic. Therefore the need for simulating and
optimizing traffic control to better accommodate this increasing
demand arises. In recent years, video monitoring and
surveillance systems have been widely used in traffic
management for traveler’s information, ramp metering and
updates in real time. The traffic density estimation and vehicle
classification can also be achieved using video monitoring
systems. This paper presents the method to use live video feed
from the cameras at traffic junctions for real time traffic density
calculation using video and image processing. It also focuses on
the algorithm for switching the traffic lights according to vehicle
density on road, thereby aiming at reducing the traffic congestion
on roads which will help lower the number of accidents. In turn it
will provide safe transit to people and reduce fuel consumption
and waiting time. It will also provide significant data which will
help in future road planning and analysis. In further stages
multiple traffic lights can be synchronized with each other with
an aim of even less traffic congestion and free flow of traffic.
