Abstract:

Urban intersections in India continue to rely on conventional fixed-timer traffic signals that operate without regard to the real-time density of vehicles on different lanes. These outdated systems contribute significantly to congestion, excessive fuel consumption, and inefficiencies in vehicle movement. To overcome these limitations, this research introduces an Intelligent Traffic Signal System (ITSS) that employs deep learning–based computer vision for automated and adaptive signal control. The framework integrates YOLO for high-speed vehicle detection, CNN-based vehicle classification, and LSTM-driven temporal traffic prediction to optimize signal duration based on density and flow patterns. Additional modules—including automatic challan generation, stolen vehicle identification using CNN, emergency vehicle prioritization, and lane obstruction detection—enhance traffic governance and enforcement capabilities. A diverse dataset compiled from Kaggle repositories, real-world city traffic recordings, and YouTube sources ensures.
