Paper Title
Intelligent Traffic Light Control Using Image Processing

Abstract
In India, with the growing number of vehicles, traffic congestion at junctions has become a serious issue. The density of vehicles is increasing day by day and there is an urgent need of adaptive traffic signals which can do real time monitoring of traffic density. This paper describes a system which uses image processing for regulating the traffic in an effective manner by taking images of traffic at a junction. A step by step approach of image acquisition, image processing and implementation of algorithm to change the traffic light duration as per the density of vehicles on different roads at a traffic signal is followed. The number of objects in a given image is counted and priority is given to the densest road. Keywords- ARDUINO, MATLAB, Camera, Image Processing, Traffic Congestion, Traffic Monitoring, Priority
