Nowadays, the traffic control system in our country is non-flexible due to the increase in the number of vehicles day by day causing traffic congestion. In present strategies, human control or clocks are utilized. The two important resources of the present-day system are time and fuel which are wasted in the case of traffic congestion. To overcome such problems, advanced technology to improve the state of traffic congestion has been introduced. A system that measures the vehicle density using canny edge detection to control the traffic with digital image processing is proposed. This system proposes a dynamic system that offers improvement in responsive time and efficiency. This system pre-processes the image using image processing which is captured from the camera that is installed at intersections, computes the density of the traffic and sets the timer of the signal according to the density of the traffic. This overall system works efficiently and has a quick turnaround time, saving major key resources at every intersection.
