Abstract

In this paper the author is describing the concept to control or automate green traffic signal allotment time based on congestion available at roadside using Canny Edge Detection Algorithm. To implement this technique, we are uploading current traffic image to the application and application will extract edges from images and if there is more traffic then there will be a greater number of edges with white colour and if uploaded image contains less traffic, then it will have a smaller number of white colour edges. Empty edges will have black colour with value 0. By counting the number of non-zeroes white pixels, we will have complete idea of available traffic and based on that we will allocate time to green signal.
