Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to introduce an effective and efficient way of
traffic signal light control to optimize the traffic signal duration across each
lanes and thereby, to minimize or completely eliminate traffic congestion.
This paper introduces a new approach to resolve the traffic congestion
problem at junctions by making use of decision trees. The vehicle count in
the real time traffic video is determined by Image Processing technique. This
information is fed to the decision tree based on which the decision is made
regarding the status of traffic signal lights of each lane at the junction at any
given instant of time.
