ABSTRACT
• Traffic signs play a crucial role in regulating traffic flow and ensuring safety, but drivers
may often miss or misinterpret them due to distractions, poor visibility, or fatigue.
• To address this issue, this system utilizes a deep learning-based approach, specifically
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), for the detection and classification of traffic signs
from real-time video feeds or images.
• Upon recognition, the system immediately generates alerts to notify the driver of the
identified traffic sign.
• The implementation demonstrates high accuracy in traffic sign recognition and real-time
alert generation, making it suitable for integration into Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
(ADAS) and autonomous vehicles.
• This work contributes to the advancement of intelligent transportation systems by improving
driver safety, enhancing compliance with traffic laws, and reducing the risk of accidents on
the road.
INTRODUCTION
• Traffic signs are vital in regulating road behavior, and missed or misinterpreted signs can
lead to accidents. An automated system that recognizes traffic signs and alerts drivers can
significantly reduce human error, improving overall road safety.
• Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
(ADAS). Integrating traffic sign recognition into such systems provides real-time, context-
aware alerts
• deep learning-based system can process visual data quickly and accurately, enabling real-
time traffic sign recognition. This speed is crucial for timely alerts, allowing drivers to react
to road conditions and signage instantly.
• Deep learning algorithms, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have shown
remarkable success in image recognition tasks. This advancement makes it possible to
develop highly accurate traffic sign recognition systems that are robust in diverse driving
conditions.
EXISTING SYSTEM
• With the rapid growth of technological development, vehicles have become an
essential portion of in our routine lives. Because driving vehicles without follow
traffic rules, it creates more and more intricate traffic on the road.
• The meaning of traffic sign is any entity, device, or board on the road that entity
carries the rules, indicates the warning or provides other explanation regarding
driving.
• Multi-view scheme that considers color and shape-based criteria for traffic sign
detection and recognition
• Detect cars with number using linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and
mean shift algorithm
DISADVANTAGES
• Redundant features are extracted from traffic sign images
• Irrelevant regions are selected
• Time and computational complexity is high
• Need to train large datasets for sign recognition
PROPOSED SYSTEM
• The main purpose of Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS) in the recent days is
to provide the driver with the important information about the traffic signals and
warning signs in the road ahead.
• The actual problem arises when the driver is careless, negligent or completely
disobedient of traffic rules and law
• Traffic Sign Recognition and classification system, which consists of image
segmentation, detecting the traffic sign and a classification phase based on the input
image.
• To extract red regions in the image the color enhancement technique is used. The
detection, classification and recognition are performed using Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNN) to identify the content of the traffic signs found
• Provide alert in the form of text or voice notification with improved security
ADVANTAGES
• Segment the traffic sign regions effectively

• Support unsupervised sign datasets

• Reduce the false positive datasets

• Feasible for use in real time traffic sign detection and classification.

• MODEL TRAINING
DATA COLLECTION:
• Traffic sign recognition is a computer vision task that involves detecting and
recognizing traffic signs in images or video streams.
• The goal of traffic sign recognition is to help autonomous vehicles, such as self-
driving cars, understand the road environment and make informed decisions.
• In this module, acquiring images or video frames of the road environment.
• Traffic sign datasets are collected from web sources and load into the algorithm
PREPROCESSING:
• Pre-processing is an important step in the traffic sign recognition process as it
can significantly impact the performance of the recognition system.
• The goal of pre-processing is to improve the quality of the images and make
them more suitable for analysis by the recognition system.
• Pre-processing the images to enhance the quality and remove any noise or
distortions.
FEATURES EXTRACTION:
• Feature extraction is the process of identifying and extracting relevant
information from images that can be used to recognize traffic signs.
• The extracted features are then used as inputs to the recognition system to
perform the classification task.
• Extracting color-based features such as the mean and standard deviation of the
RGB values of the pixels in the image. These features are used to represent the
color properties of the sign and can be used to differentiate between different
types of signs.
• Extracting shape-based features such as the aspect ratio, perimeter, and area of
the sign. These features are used to represent the geometry of the sign and can be
used to differentiate between different types of signs.
MODEL TRAINING:
• Designing the architecture of the CNN, including the number of layers, the type of layers, and the
number of filters in each layer. The architecture of the CNN should be designed to effectively
extract meaningful features from the images and perform the classification task.
• Selecting the hyper parameters of the CNN, such as the learning rate, batch size, and number of
epochs. The hyper parameters should be chosen to ensure that the network is able to learn
effectively and converge to a good solution.
• Training the CNN on the training data, updating the weights of the network to minimize the error
between the predicted and actual class labels. The performance of the model should be monitored
during training using the validation data to prevent overfitting.
• Evaluating the performance of the trained model on the test data to determine its accuracy in
recognizing traffic signs. The results can be used to make adjustments to the network architecture
or hyperparameters to further improve the performance of the model.

 CONCLUSION
• In conclusion, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have proven to be a
highly effective approach for traffic sign recognition. By pre processing images
and using CNNs to extract features and classify traffic signs, it is possible to
achieve high accuracy and efficiency in traffic sign recognition tasks.
• traffic sign recognition using CNNs has the potential to improve road safety by
accurately identifying traffic signs and helping drivers to make informed
decisions on the road.
• The CNN's pre-trained layers can then be fine-tuned for the new task, while the
output layer is replaced with a new layer to classify the different types of traffic
signs. This approach can help to improve the accuracy of the traffic sign
recognition algorithm, even when working with limited amounts of training data.
 FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
• Traffic signs can vary significantly between different countries and regions, and may
use different languages or symbols. Future research could explore the use of CNN
models that can recognize traffic signs in multiple languages or symbol systems.
