Abstract- This paper proposes image mosaicking technique
for controlling of trafc signals. Limitation of conventional
automatic trafc signal control methods is that they can detect the
vehicle using sensors, whereas sensors are failed to detect the
vehicle, if vehicle is out of range of infrared rays, also sensors
are incapable to give response if vehicle stops due to
technical problem in the range of infrared rays. This paper
proposed an intelligent trafc control method using image
mosaicking technique. The striking feature of proposed method is
that it measures the density of trafc dynamically .. The efficacy of
proposed method has been evaluated, using MATLAB
TM
Sofware. It is found that proposed method is quite effective for
the control of the trafc signals for controlling congestion on the
road.

I. [NTRODUCTION
Trafc congestion is a major problems encountered in
large cities is that of Trafc congestion. For a taveller,
congestion means loss of time, missing of opportunities and
getting fustation. It also adversely impacts the industies due to
productivity loss of the employees, loss of tade opportunities,
delayed delivery. Common methods of conventional tafc light
contols are time of day contol; fx time contol, area dynamic
conol [1]. Artifcial intelligence methods such as ANN [2],
Fuzzy Expert system (FES)[3] and [ntelligent decision making
system for urban tafc mUTC [4] are reported in literature.
However no such a system has developed which meets the
adaptive characteristics like the minimum time to take the
decision for ON/OFF timings of RGY lights.
Traffc density depends on factors like time, day/night,
season, weather condition and unpredictable situation such as
accidents . If these factors are not taken in to account, the tafc
contol system will create congestion collapse. An adaptive
tafc contol system must have the ability to fmd saturation
conditions in the network and change the objective fnction as
required. Conventional tafc conol system use multiple
timing plans, whereas advance taffc conol system have
multiple conol stategies.
The main objective of designing and developing the
intelligent road tafc congestion conol simulator is to reduce
[978-1-4799-4040-0/14/$31.00 ©2014 IEEE]
the waiting time of each lane of vehicles and to maximize the
total number of vehicles that can cross the intersections. So
[ntelligent road taffc congestion contol scheme is proposed
that will measure tafc density on road dynamically and give
conol action accordingly. The proposed scheme is
illustated in Fig.l. A multiple web cameras of 8.0 Mega pixel
has been used in the proposed arangement. However CCTV
cameras may be use for better response. Programming
sections having GU[ (Graphic User Interface) and Matlab
coding. Where GUI is designed for recording/monitoring the
video, acquires the image, save the image, process that image,
and comparing updated image with test image and Matlab coding
sets the timing for each of taffc light (Red, Yellow and Green).
[I. BLOCK DIAGARM OF SCHEME
Fig. I. Block diagams of congestion control scheme
and also matlab coding interfaces or sends the digital data to
pins of parallel port. Where [ means +5V and 0 means OV.
Depending upon the bits 0 and I set by programming, the
hardware receives signal of +5V or OV. Thus this port acts as
interface between hardware and sofware. If there is small
congestion then timing of Red/Green would be change
according to density measured on the road. But in the case of
heavy congestion the yellow lights would be blink for indicate
collapse.. Multiple cameras has been used in proposed scheme
where using image mosaicking technique the data from
various cameras are collected and integrated (mosaicking) for
matching the two images (test image & reference image)
whose result manuplates the timing of green signals/red
signals. Proposed work technique is shown in fgure 1 (b).
