ITLCS Based on OpenCV Image Processing Technology

Abstract

With the rapid growth of the number of motor vehicles in the city, traffic congestion is more serious every day, part of it is caused by the coding delay with the red light on, not real traffic jams, now we need a control system that can really change the traffic flow. In this paper, ITLCS (intelligent traffic signal control system) based on OpenCV image processing technology is proposed to adjust the timing of traffic signal according to road density, instead of setting a level that is balanced with other lanes, so that high-load traffic lanes can be used for a long time. The camera facing the roadway in the system takes pictures of the driving route, then takes pictures of the driving density of pedestrians and vehicles, and compares each image through processing technology, after the system is processed, the traffic light signal timing can be adjusted immediately, which greatly reduces the time spent on the inactive green light and can effectively deal with the traffic congestion problem.
