Traffic Surveillance System Using MATLAB and Arduino

This document describes a traffic surveillance system that uses MATLAB and Arduino boards. Video cameras capture footage of intersections and send it to MATLAB, which analyzes the images to count vehicles and detect traffic jams. If too many vehicles are detected, MATLAB sends a signal to an Arduino board, which uses GPS to get the location of the jam and sends it to traffic control via GSM. The system aims to help control traffic flow and reduce congestion at intersections.

Traffic Surveillance System using MATLAB

and Arduino
Contributor:
Saddam Khan

In present times increasing Traffic is adding to the big woes of developing cities. The main roads
are packed with vehicular traffic on each and every road or a traffic signal (Intersection Points).
One comes across the common problem of traffic jams on almost all Traffic Junctions which is
even critical if you go to big cities. A lot of time, energies besides precious fuel is wasted just
because of these Traffic Jams on the roads.

To solve this problem Traffic Cameras are used over Traffic Intersection points. Traffic Cameras
capture the image of vehicles in traffic and sends to MATLAB. Here in this project Traffic
Surveillance System is demonstrated by way of how the traffic could be controlled over traffic
intersection points from the Traffic Control Room. This is a very effective system for Traffic
Surveillance.

Given below are some snapshots depicting the working of the arduino based traffic surveillance
system.
Description

Working of this Traffic Surveillance System is easy and quite simple. There are two Arduino UNO
boards which are used for controlling all the operations. GPS and GSM technologies are also used
in the project. Here GPS is used for taking coordinates of a Traffic Jam and GSM is used for
sending these coordinates to Traffic Control Room. But besides GPS and GSM there are two more
other important things which are used in the Traffic Surveillance Project and that are Cameras and
MATLAB.

MATLAB sends command to cameras for capturing the images of traffic, where MATLAB later
identifies or count the total number of vehicles over the Traffic Intersection or over on road. If the
total number of vehicles over the road exceeds the limits in a given situation then the MATLAB
sends signals to Arduino UNO (A).

Arduino UNO (A) sends interrupt to second Arduino UNO (B). Now the second Arduino UNO
(B) takes coordinates of the Traffic Jam and sends these coordinates to the Traffic Control Room
using GSM module. Here you can use a LCD for showing the traffic status like Traffic Jam or No
Traffic.
