Real Time Traffic Light Control System Using Morphological Edge Detection and Fuzzy Logic

Traffic is the major problem which every country faces because of the increase in number of vehicles throughout the world, particularly in large urban areas. Therefore the need arises for simulating and optimizing traffic control algorithms to better accommodate this increasing demand. One of the ways to overcome traffic problems in large cities is through the development of an intelligent traffic control system which is based on the measurement of traffic density on the road. In this paper we presented techniques with which this problem of traffic is solved. We discussed morphological edge detection and fuzzy logic technique to solve this problem and comparison between two techniques is presented.
