The project proposes a dynamic traffic signal system using a Raspberry Pi that automatically changes signal timing based on detected traffic density at a junction. A Raspberry Pi with connected cameras would capture images of four lanes and use image processing software to detect vehicle numbers and determine which lanes have higher density. The Raspberry Pi would then provide signal timing with longer green lights allocated to the lanes with higher traffic, making the system adaptive to changing traffic conditions unlike fixed-time conventional signals.

PROJECT IDEA: DENSITY BASED DYNAMIC TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM RASPBERRY PI.

EXPLANATION : THE SIGNAL TIMING CHANGES AUTOMATICALLY ON SENSING THE TRAFFIC


DENSITY AT THE JUNCTION. CONVENTIONAL TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM IS BASED ON FIXED TIME
CONCEPT ALLOTTED TO EACH SIDE OF THE JUNCTION WHICH CANNOT BE VARIED AS PER
VARYING TRAFFIC DENSITY. JUNCTION TIMINGS ALLOTTED ARE FIXED. SOMETIMES HIGHER
TRAFFIC DENSITY AT ONE SIDE OF THE JUNCTION DEMANDS LONGER GREEN TIME AS
COMPARED TO STANDARD ALLOTTED TIME. THE IMAGE CAPTURED IN THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS
PROCESSED AND CONVERTED INTO GRAYSCALE IMAGE THEN ITS THRESHOLD IS CALCULATED
BASED ON WHICH THE CONTOUR HAS BEEN DRAWN IN ORDER TO CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF
VEHICLES PRESENT IN THE IMAGE. AFTER CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF VE HICLES, WE WILL
COME TO KNOW IN WHICH SIDE THE DENSITY IS HIGH BASED ON WHICH SIGNALS WILL BE
ALLOTTED FOR A PARTICULAR SIDE. RASPBERRY PI IS USED AS A MICROCONTROLLER WHICH
PROVIDES THE SIGNAL TIMING BASED ON THE TRAFFIC DENSITY.

HARDWARE COMPONENTS:
 RASPBERRY PI

 CAMERA (FOR TAKING THE SNAPSHOTS OF 4 DISTINCT LANES)

 4 SETS OF LEDs (RED, GREEN AND YELLOW)

SOFTWARE COMPONENTS:
 RASPBERRY PI BUSTER OS

 PYTHON LIBRARIES:

 OPEN-CV / CVLIB

 NUMPY

 MATPLOTLIB

PROPOSED SOLUTION: EACH CAMERA SHOULD BE FACED IN EACH DIRECTION TO MONITOR


THE TRAFFIC DENSITY BY HAVING A NUMBER OF BOUNDARIES OF EACH VEHICLE ON THE
ROAD.WHE THE TRAFFIC DENSITY OF ONE DIRECTION IS HIGH, GREEN SIGNAL WILL TURN IN
THAT DIRECTION AND THE REST WILL BE IN RED.SIMILARLY, BY ANALYSING THE ORDER O F
TRAFFIC DENSITY TRAFFIC SIGNAL SHOULD BE CHANGED IN EVERY DIRECTION. SO THAT
TRAFFIC SIGNALING SYSTEM BECOMES AUTOMATIC USING IMAGE PROCESSING THROUGH
OPEN CV AND PYTHON.
