THERMAL BASED INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

Now a days it became very difficult to control the road traffic because of heavy movement of the vehicles in cities. Especially in cities with large population it became tedious job for the traffic police to control the vehicles in countries like India. In the present days even the automatic control systems are not meeting the present day’s road commuter traffic density. In the present paper an idea of thermal based technology is described to monitor the traffic density. A Thermal imager principle is discussed in this paper in identification of thermal objects. Accordingly the intelligent traffic system can take appropriate decision in critical situations to avoid bottleneck on road. So that some critical circumstances can be circumvented before it became too late. In the present paper sensor architecture on the road is presented and detail operation of each block is discussed.
