Abstract
Traffic management is becoming one of the most important issues in rapidly growing cities like Pune. Due to bad traffic management lot of man-hours are being wasted. Regarding this problem, I have thought to develop a self adaptive system which can help in better traffic management. I came up with two different strategies for different situations depending on rate of change of traffic density. In the first part I have implemented the basic traffic control system called the fixed time system which is implemented almost everywhere in India. Also in this part I have synchronized the signals serially. Synchronization of signals helps in saving time. In the second part I am using the technique of image processing for traffic control. I am using image processing operations to calculate traffic density as cameras are cheaper and affordable devices compared to any other devices such as sensors. I have provided options for loading traffic image files and for calculating traffic density.
