 Intelligent traffic management system using the Internet of Things

Abstract

Dynamic traffic management is an important aspect of modern cities as traffic congestion

has become a significant problem worldwide. In recent years, computer vision technologies
like image processing using OpenCV and Python have been used to improve traffic
management systems. This system proposes a dynamic traffic management system that
utilizes image processing techniques to detect vehicles, analyze traffic flow, and adjust
traffic signals accordingly. The proposed system uses OpenCV to capture real-time traffic
video feed from cameras installed at traffic intersections. The system detects and tracks
vehicles in the captured video feed using image processing techniques like object detection
and tracking. The system then analyses the traffic flow by estimating the number of vehicles
present in each lane and determining the average speed of the vehicles. This information is
used to adjust the timing of traffic signals to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion.
The proposed system was tested on a real-world dataset of traffic videos, and the results
show that the system can accurately detect and track vehicles and adjust traffic signals in
real-time. The system improves traffic flow by reducing waiting times at traffic signals,
leading to a smoother and more efficient traffic management system. the proposed dynamic
traffic management system using image processing techniques like OpenCV and Python is
an effective solution for managing traffic in modern cities. The system can optimize traffic
flow by analyzing real-time traffic data and adjusting traffic signals accordingly, leading to
reduced congestion and improved overall traffic management. It regulates the traffic light
duration based on the real-time congestion level of the traffic measured at the road
crossings by using the camera. Additionally, the traffic details send to various platforms
like local news websites, radio stations, etc.

1.4 PROPOSED SYSTEM

In urban areas, the traffic system is one of the significant indicators to show the
growth and progress of a city and it also influences the quality of life of people living
in metropolitan cities. In recent years, there is a significant increase in the usage of
road vehicles which is becoming challenging for existing transportation systems. The
currently deployed traffic system is not based on the traffic congestion level and a
predefined time is allocated for traffic lights at every road crossing which results in
traffic congestion and the situation becomes worst during peak traffic hours.
This high-level traffic congestion contributes to pollution through the emission
of CO 2 and several other pollutants into the air. Moreover, it also causes a tripling of
fuel consumption and consequently put adverse effects on the economy as well. To
address the above problem, this paper presents the development of a congestion level-
based dynamic traffic management system using IoT. It regulates the traffic light
duration based on the real-time congestion level of the traffic measured at the road
crossings by using the camera. Additionally, the traffic details send to various
platforms like local news websites, radio stations, etc.

1.5 FEASIBILITY STUDY

Intelligent Traffic Management System is a system which provides efficient

management of the traffic on the roads. Image Processing plays an important role in
this system. It helps in analyzing the images of the traffic on the roads and provides
real time data. The system makes use of cameras and sensors installed on the roads to
capture the images of the traffic. The images are then processed and analyzed to
provide real-time data on traffic flow, congestion, accidents, and other important
factors.

The objective of this feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility of developing an

Intelligent Traffic Management System using Image processing. The study will focus
on the technical, economic, and operational feasibility of the project.

4.2 UML DIAGRAM

UML stands for Unified Modelling Language and is a standard notation for modelling
software systems. UML diagrams provide a visual representation of the system's
structure and behaviour. There are several types of UML diagrams, each serving a
specific purpose.
1. Class Diagram
Sure, here's a class diagram for an Intelligent Traffic Management System
using Image processing project:

Figure 2.2.1 - Class Diagram

The Traffic Management System class represents the main system that
manages cameras, vehicles, and vehicle counts. It has lists of cameras,
intersections, vehicles, and vehicle counts. It has methods to add new
instances of these objects and to process an image captured by the cameras.

2. Use case Diagram

The use case diagram shows the actors involved in the system and the various
use cases they can perform. Here are the descriptions of the actors, use cases,
attributes, and functions

Figure4.2.2– Usecase Diagram

 Intelligent traffic management system using the Internet of Things

3. Sequence Diagram
A sequence diagram is a type of interaction diagram that illustrates the
interactions and messages exchanged between objects in a particular scenario
or use case. It shows the sequence of events and the order in which the objects
communicate with each other to achieve a specific task.

Figure4.2.3 - Sequence Diagram

A sequence diagram consists of a vertical timeline, which represents the order

of events, and horizontal lifelines, which represent the objects or actors
involved in the interaction. The messages exchanged between the objects are
represented by arrows that connect the lifelines.

Sequence diagrams are often used in software development to model the

behaviour of objects in a system or application. They help developers to
visualize the flow of control and data between objects and to identify potential
design issues or bugs in the system.

Sequence diagrams are also useful for documenting and communicating the
interactions between different components of a system, especially in complex
or distributed systems where many objects interact with each other. They are a
valuable tool for system analysts, developers, and other stakeholders to
understand the behaviour of a system and to identify areas for improvement or
optimization.

detection algorithm, which means that it performs object detection and
classification in a single step. This makes it faster and more efficient
than two-stage object detection algorithms.
 Anchor Boxes: YOLO uses anchor boxes to improve object detection
accuracy. Anchor boxes are pre-defined boxes of different sizes and
aspect ratios that are used to detect objects of different sizes and
shapes
 Feature Extraction: YOLO uses a convolutional neural network
(CNN) for feature extraction, which allows it to detect objects at
different scales and locations in an image.
 Multi-class Object Detection: YOLO can detect multiple classes of
objects in an image, making it suitable for applications such as traffic
analysis, sports analytics, and surveillance systems.
 Open Source: YOLO is an open-source algorithm, which means that
its source code is freely available to the public. This has led to the
development of many variations and improvements to the original
YOLO algorithm.

Overall, YOLO is a powerful object detection algorithm that has become a

popular choice for real-time object detection applications. Its combination of high
accuracy and speed make it a valuable tool for a wide range of applications, from
autonomous vehicles to security systems.
