Smart Control of Traffic Light System using Artificial Intelligence

The congestion of urban traffic is becoming one of the critical issues with increasing population and automobiles in cities. Traffic jams not only cause extra delay and stress for the drivers, but also increase fuel consumption, add transportation costs, and increase air pollution. Although it seems to pervade everywhere, megacities are the ones most affected by it. And it's ever increasing nature makes it imperative to know the road traffic density in real-time for better signal control and effective traffic management. The traffic controller is one of the critical factors affecting traffic flow. The current traffic management systems that are in place are generally static, which means that they do not adjust according to the needs of the traffic flow. Our proposed system aims to design a traffic light controller based on Computer Vision that can adapt to the current traffic situation. It uses live video feed from the CCTV cameras at traffic junctions for real-time traffic density calculation by detecting the vehicles at the signal and setting the green signal time accordingly. The vehicles are classified as car, bike, bus/truck, or rickshaw to obtain a more accurate estimate of the green signal time. We have used object detection techniques like YOLO in order to detect the number of vehicles for each direction. We then set the timers of these traffic signals according to vehicle density in each direction and hence the system becomes adaptive. This helps to optimize the green signal times, and traffic is cleared at a much faster rate than a static system, thus reducing the unwanted delays, congestion, and waiting time, which in turn will reduce the fuel consumption and pollution.

Great thinking, thanks man, bring the idea to Kenya, where traffic jam is used as an excuse for arriving late in every function

Artificial inteligence made from IF ELSE 😄😄

You could also do away with all the fancy AI stuff, and instead have a timer that measures the gaps between cars, and switches the light once it exceeds a certain value (and the queue is considered to have discharged). That's what's most commonly used in real life (vehicle-actuated control).
A disadvantage of using cameras as sensors is that it's affected by weather conditions (rain, wind, snow, extreme temperatures, sun glare, etc), and can potentially be damaged by vandals (e.g throwing rocks). All of this can reduce the accuracy of the data.
Inductive loops are the most reliable detection method.

Thanks for the information, i came to see this video after notice my home state perak launch this Artificial intelligence Traffic Light.

Hi Mihir!

I write my thesis about a similiar project of yours, but I think more about this one.
I imagined that not only the crossroads would be controlled by AI, but the whole city would be connected, So that the traffic waves could be even more controlled.

I write my project from a different perspective. From a pont of view of economy. How the less fuel consumption would effect inflation internationally.

Do you have an estimated data, which approximatlely tells how less fuel is going to be consumed this way?

I am looking forward to your answer!

[hamadadrahim]

Good work congratulations!
You used machine learning to detect number of vehicles in the camera
How did you connect 4 traffic lights together? Did you use IOT?
What are other techniques you used?

[luqmanharits]

Thankyou for your explantion sir, i hope you always happy

[kazeemsanusi]

Good... Keeping it simple... Hope you are making progress

[crashcoursebysaurov]

Can you give a hint about the scheduling how you did that? Match the flow the data with singal switching

[piyushaggarwal]

Congratulation on the wonderful work!
Have you considered using the online maps to gather the real time traffic data at the traffic intersections?

[RKG-yr]

Can u provide the project PDF
Me and my team Working on this.. It is very much helpful for me and team tooo

[syedimtiazhussain]

which software we used for the simulation of this ..? and which one is best ??

[TallamJayaram]

Whether you used any dataset in this project or not?

[reddydinesh]

In your research paper you have mentioned current static system, what is that means?

[onesport]

can I make this artificial into a real 3d model I just want to know which adapter to use to maintain the exact time to avoid accident

[kowshik]

The yolo weights file is missing if I use some other yolo weight from internet it is showing over read can you share the weights fit for the project

[pritisalunke]

Which software did you guys used for the writing code ?

[sadychowdhury]

Hello sir i would like work with this project and want to introduce it on a city town called sylhet in Bangladesh.

[AnnapurnaPedada]

I have to make a practical project how should i do it?

[Rameshram-geno]

Hello Mihir,
While running vehicle_detection.py file im facing this error :
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named
could you please help me to solve this error..?

Thank you...
