‘Smart Traffic System’ developed by these students has great benefits: Check out

June 18: The students of final year Electronics and Communication engineering of Shri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology and Management, Bantakal, have developed a ‘Smart Traffic System.
The students who developed the system said that one way to improve traffic flow and safety of current transportation system is to apply traffic surveillance using image processing techniques.
This system surveys the traffic volume on a stretch and the user will be informed in advance about the traffic conditions prevailing at the stretch at the specific time. It also suggests alternate roads to the user and also has the feature to handle the traffic using traffic light controller with the help of image processing at the junctions. When implemented, This will help the police department to detect motorcyclists riding without helmets and also recognizing the licence plate of vehicles which violate the traffic rules. This is implemented using GSM and Image processing techniques. By using the automated system for monitoring the traffic, the need of manual monitoring of traffic is avoided. This system is more efficient and reduces the errors which can take place during the manual monitoring. This system also reduces number of violators who break traffic and safety rules. This will result in the saving of precious lives, said the students.
