Abstract

Road traffic control is one of the prime issues of any busy town worldwide. The situation is worst at the junction point of multiple roads. It is impossible to predict upcoming traffic pressure intensity and direction with prior information. An adaptive approach is needed to solve this problem in real-time. This paper proposes an efficient method of controlling traffic signal duration. Here cascade object detection technique is used to recognize and count the number of moving vehicles toward a junction from various directions through some static video cameras installed in each direction. Using the static camera, the proposed system senses the current traffic pressure of each connecting road toward the junction. It thereby makes a sensible decision to set traffic signal duration on each road.
