IOT based Smart Traffic Signal Violation Monitoring System using Edge Computing

Abstract

Monitoring the traffic signal surveillance camera by a group of police administrators can be a daunting task due to the sheer volume of data(videos)that must be collected and analyzed. In developing countries such as India, traffic police department need a easy way to catch the vehicle owners who have violated the traffic signal rules. Currently, they are collecting the video near the traffic signal for 24*7 and the administrators are manually analyzing to find if anyone has violated the traffic signal rules. They need to capture the license plate and then send a report. The proposed system addresses this problem. IOT based Smart traffic signal violation system make use of the features provided by edge computing. It shall surveil the signal only when it turns red and captures the video. Later it analyses the video using suitable image processing algorithm and captures the traffic rule’s violator’s license plate and send it to the administrators. In this way it reduces the manual work done by the police administrators and analyzes the video at the edge device itself.
